Earth's Slowing Rotation May Explain Rise Of Oxygen In Atmosphere, Study Finds
The study highlights how longer days allowed cyanobacteria to photosynthesise more oxygen because their activity depends not just on sunlight but on the timing of their metabolic processes.

Cannibal Solar Storm May Trigger Auroras as Powerful Geomagnetic Storm to Hit Earth Soon
Between Sept. 1–2, Earth will be struck by a powerful geomagnetic storm caused by a rare “cannibal” solar eruption. The event formed when a fast coronal mass ejection (CME) overtook and consumed an earlier one, creating a stronger, chaotic cloud. As this storm interacts with Earth’s magnetic field, it may produce vivid auroras visible far b...

NASA’s Solar Observatory Sees Two Eclipses in One Day
In a rare celestial event, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured two eclipses on July 25, 2025. First, at 2:45 UTC, the Moon passed between SDO and the Sun, covering about 62% of the solar disk. Just hours later, around 6:30 UTC, Earth itself blocked the Sun entirely from SDO’s perspective. These dual eclipses occurred during SDO’s...

NASA and ISRO to Launch Joint-Mission NISAR Earth Monitoring Satellite on July 30
NASA and ISRO’s NISAR satellite is set to launch on July 30 from India’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The mission will use dual-frequency radar (L-band and S-band) to scan nearly all of Earth’s land and ice surfaces every 12 days. Developed by NASA’s JPL and ISRO’s Space Applications Centre, NISAR is the first satellite to carry both radar...
