New Seismic Data Challenges Earth's Inner Core Structure, Reveals Surprising Findings
Recent seismic data from 121 earthquakes recorded over three decades challenges previous beliefs about Earth's inner core. Researchers from the University of Southern California discovered structural changes in the core, suggesting it may not be as solid as once thought. These anomalies, observed while studying the core's slowing rotation, could of...

'Kiss And Capture': Study Explains How Pluto's Largest Moon Was Formed
A new study suggests Pluto's largest moon, Charon, may have formed through a unique "kiss and capture" event billions of years ago.

New "Kiss-and-Capture" Theory Explains Pluto's Formation of Largest Moon, Charon
A new theory proposes that Pluto’s largest moon, Charon, was formed billions of years ago through a rare "kiss-and-capture" collision in the Kuiper Belt. This process involves two icy bodies briefly merging and then separating, leaving Charon in a stable orbit around Pluto. Unlike traditional collision models, this event challenges previous theor...

Scientists Estimate Mammals Will Go Extinct In 250 Million Years Due To Extreme Heat
The study was published on Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience. Dr Farnsworth said, "It's a triple whammy that becomes unsurvivable."

Study Says Earth's Inner Core Rotating Slower Than Surface
New research published in the journal Nature Geoscience analysed seismic waves from repeating earthquakes over the last six decades.

Carbon Leak In Ocean Responsible For Growth Of Human Civilisation: Study
An increase in the activity of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Southern Ocean could explain the mysterious growth of human civilisation 11,000 years ago, says a study.

Iron 'Jet Stream' Detected In Earth's Core
Scientists have discovered a jet stream within the Earth's molten iron core using the latest satellite data that helps create an 'X-ray' view of the planet.

A Violent Sun And A Sky Full Of Laughing Gas Could Have Led To Life On Earth
A coronal mass ejection hits Earth's atmosphere like a cannonball. The cloud of solar matter, created during storms on the sun, will fizzle through the thinnest parts of Earth's protective magnetic field and send waves of light dancing across the polar night skies.

Cleaner Air Could Actually Make Global Warming Worse
Two new studies, both released Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, address the powerful influence of aerosols - fine particles or drops of liquid often released by industrial activity - on the climate, and suggest that as nations around the world work to reduce this type of air pollution, we will begin to see more rapid warming than expected. ...

Why Earth Became Habitable and Not Venus?
Information about the improbable evolutionary path that enabled Earth and not Venus to sustain life has been found, shows research.

New maps show smallest planet Mercury is even smaller
Detailed maps of Mercury's cliffs and ditches show the solar system's innermost and smallest planet Mercury has lost much more real estate due to cooling over four billion years than scientists thought, according to a report published on Sunday.

New ozone-depleting gases found in atmosphere
Worried scientists said today that they had found four new ozone-destroying gases in the atmosphere, most likely put there by humans in the last 50-odd years despite a ban on these dangerous compounds.

Zircon crystal: Scientists find oldest piece of Earth
Scientists using two different age-determining techniques have shown that a tiny zircon crystal found on a sheep ranch in western Australia is the oldest known piece of our planet, dating to 4.4 billion years ago.

Magma clue to Earth's super-volcanoes
Geologists on Sunday reported insights into super-volcanoes, the brooding, enigmatic giants of Earth's crust whose eruptions are as catastrophic as they are rare.
