"Should We Relocate Everyone To Moon?" Supreme Court Dismisses Plea On Earthquakes
The petitioner, who was appearing in person, told the Supreme Court that 75 per cent of the Indian population falls under the high seismic zone.

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Surpassing Expectations Even Before Launch, Reveals Research
NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope is expected to measure seismic waves in over 300,000 red giant stars, far greater than early predictions. These signals will help scientists better understand exoplanet systems and the Milky Way’s ancient core. Researchers say Roman’s natural survey design enables this breakthrough even before the telesco...

Study Reveals Moon Has A Solid Iron-Like Core, Solves Long-Standing Space Mystery
The Moon's magnetic field was once quite strong, but about 3.2 billion years ago.

'Halloween Fireballs' Could Threaten Earth In 2032 And 2036, Astronomers Warn
Recent research indicates that larger objects in the Taurid stream could pose a greater threat in 2032 and 2036, potentially exploding in the atmosphere or occasionally reaching the Earth's surface.

Scientists Discover New Seismic Clue to Predict Mount Etna Eruptions
Scientists studying Mount Etna have found that changes in the “b-value” ratio of earthquakes can signal magma movement before eruptions. Using nearly 20 years of data, this discovery could enhance volcanic early warning systems globally, potentially saving lives in regions near active volcanoes.

The Rise of 'Sonic Boom' Quakes: What Scientists Learned from Myanmar
The warning came while studying past earthquakes that struck California. These are called supershear, a rare phenomenon, that move faster than seismic waves.

Scientists Confirm Ancient Asteroid Impact Created North Sea’s Silverpit Crater 43 Million Years Ago
New research confirms the Silverpit Crater in the North Sea was formed by an asteroid impact around 43 million years ago. Using seismic imaging and rare mineral evidence, scientists proved the impact origin beyond doubt, resolving a debate that lasted two decades and placing the crater among Earth’s rare, well-preserved impact structures.

InSight Mission Uncovers Chaotic Structure Locked Inside Mars’ Interior
NASA’s InSight mission uncovered Mars’ mantle as chaotic and fractured, resembling a Rocky Road brownie rather than a layered planet. Seismic data revealed ancient fragments, some over 4 km wide, preserved by a rigid crust for more than four billion years. The findings offer fresh insights into Mars’ explosive past and the evolution of rocky ...

Scientists Discover Hidden Mantle Layer Beneath the Himalayas Challenging Century-Old Theory
For decades, geologists believed the Himalayas were built on a double layer of continental crust. New research overturns that view, revealing that a dense slab of mantle rock actually wedges between India’s and Asia’s crusts beneath the range. This “mantle sandwich” better explains seismic data and how the mountains remain so stable while r...

Mars' Interior Holds Evidence Of Violent Early History, NASA Scientists Confirm
NASA scientists have discovered massive fragments of ancient planetary collisions buried deep in Mars' mantle, using seismic data from the InSight lander.

Meteor Strike May Have Triggered Massive Grand Canyon Landslide 56,000 Years Ago
A meteorite strike in northern Arizona may have triggered a massive Grand Canyon landslide 56,000 years ago. Researchers found ancient driftwood and lake sediments indicating a paleolake formed after the Colorado River was dammed. The study suggests seismic waves from the Meteor Crater impact caused the landslide. Findings were published in the jou...

Why Alaska's Latest 7.3 Magnitude Earthquake Has Got Scientists' Attention
Wednesday's magnitude 7.3 earthquake off Alaska's Aleutian Islands chain struck in a region that has experienced a handful of powerful quakes within the last five years - including one that shook communities almost exactly two years earlier.
