What Happens If Moon Disappears? Scientists Say Earth's Closest Neighbour Is Slowly Shrinking
Without the Moon, researchers say Earth could experience far more extreme climate shifts, unstable seasons and dramatically weaker tides - fundamentally altering life on the planet.

Moon Is Still Shrinking. Here's What It Means For Lunar Exploration
Experts continue to probe the Moon's shrinking effect on the stability of future lunar bases.

Venus May Hide a Vast Underground Tunnel Formed by Ancient Volcanic Eruptions, Scientists Say
Scientists analysing NASA’s Magellan radar data have identified signs of a vast underground lava tunnel on Venus. If confirmed, it would be only the second such structure found on the planet, challenging the belief that Venus is geologically inactive and opening new possibilities for studying its volcanic past.

Scientists Find Moon's Two Sides Tell The Same Geological Story
A major breakthrough occurred in June 2024 when China's Chang'e-6 mission delivered 1,935 grams of lunar samples from the Apollo Basin to Earth.

Anand Mahindra's Latest Post Sparks Interest In Mumbai's Hidden Gem, Gilbert Hill
After Anand Mahindra highlighted Gilbert Hill in a recent post, curiosity around the Mumbai landmark has surged. The billion-year-old structure is drawing renewed public attention.

Scientists Discover Cosmic Clock in Zircon Crystals That Tracks Earth’s Landscape History
Scientists have identified a natural “cosmic clock” inside zircon crystals that can date Earth’s surface processes over millions of years. By measuring cosmogenic krypton created by cosmic rays, researchers reconstructed erosion rates in southern Australia, revealing an exceptionally stable landscape shaped slowly over 40 million years and ex...

Europa’s Hidden Ocean Could Be ‘Fed’ by Sinking Salted Ice; New Study Boosts Hopes for Alien Life
Europa, one of Jupiter’s icy moons, may have a more habitable ocean than once thought. New simulations show that dense, salt-rich ice on the surface can slowly sink through the moon’s thick ice shell and drip into the hidden ocean below. This process would deliver nutrients and oxidants over geological timescales, potentially sustaining conditi...

Sinking Calcium Carbonate Locked Away Greenhouse Gases, Reveals New Study
Scientists have solved a 66-million-year climate mystery, explaining how Earth cooled from a tropical greenhouse to an ice-capped world. New research reveals ocean calcium levels dropped by more than half, reshaping marine chemistry. As calcium declined, oceans locked away more carbon dioxide, lowering atmospheric CO2. The study links deep-Earth pr...
