New NASA Study Explains How Earth Got Its Water
A NASA study shows that meteorites delivered only a small amount of water to Earth over the past four billion years.

Satellite Images Show Noida Pit Existed For 3 Years Before Techie's Death
Satellite images on Google Earth show that a large water body began appearing from late 2021 at the Sector 150 plot where a 27-year-old software engineer drowned after a car accident.

Earth’s Atmosphere Has Been Leaking Onto the Moon for Billions of Years, Study Finds
Earth’s atmosphere has been leaking atoms and molecules to the moon for billions of years, preserving a historical record and potential resources for future lunar missions.

Spider-Like Scar on Jupiter’s Moon Europa Could Indicate Subsurface Salty Water
A spider-like scar on Jupiter’s moon Europa may indicate briny water beneath its icy crust. Researchers suggest impact-driven flows of salty liquid created starburst patterns resembling Earth’s lake stars. Future observations by NASA’s Europa Clipper mission could confirm these features, offering new insights into Europa’s subsurface oceans...

Early Earth’s Deep Mantle May Have Held More Water Than Previously Believed, Study Finds
Scientists have discovered that Earth’s deep mantle may have stored an ocean’s worth of water during the planet’s earliest years. New experiments show that bridgmanite, a dominant mantle mineral, can hold much more water under extreme heat, offering fresh insight into how Earth retained water and became habitable.

Chinese Researchers Reveal How Earth's Deep Mantle Stored Oceans Of Water Billions Of Years Ago
This discovery makes a significant contribution to understanding Earth's early evolution.

Why One Of The Last Least-Visited Places On Earth Is Fast Turning A Tourist Hotspot
The Moon meets Mars in Saudi Arabia's AlUla, one of the last places on earth that saw no tourists till a few years ago

World's Most Amazing Floating Villages You Should Visit At Least Once
The world's floating villages remind us that Earth contains far more possibilities than we typically imagine.

Ryugu Samples Reveal Ancient Water Flow on Asteroid for a Billion Years
Microscopic samples from asteroid Ryugu reveal that liquid water once flowed through its parent body long after its formation. The finding, led by University of Tokyo scientists, suggests that such asteroids may have delivered far more water to early Earth than previously thought, offering a new perspective on how our planet’s oceans originated.

Moon Is Rusting: Scientists Stunned By Hematite Discovery On Lunar Surface
Understanding of rusting could impact future lunar missions, resource utilisation and equipment design.

Earth’s Oxygen Explains Mysterious Rust Formation on the Moon
Despite lacking air and water, the Moon hosts hematite—an oxidized iron mineral. Scientists discovered Earth’s escaping oxygen drives this rusting process during the Moon’s passage through the magnetotail. Observations from Chandrayaan-1 and NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter confirm hematite patches where Earth wind suppresses hydrogen an...

Powerful Space Telescope Observes Interstellar Object, Finds CO2 And Water
NASA explained that the object has been categorised as interstellar because of the hyperbolic shape of its orbital path.

Scientists Explore Role of Space Radiation in Powering Alien Microbial Life
A new study proposes that life may exist far from sunlight in a “radiolytic habitable zone” deep beneath the icy surfaces of Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Cosmic rays, which can penetrate rock and ice, break water molecules apart to release hydrogen, oxygen, and energy-rich electrons. These can fuel microbes in subsurface water, much like bacter...

Crystalline Ice Discovered in Space: New Study Reveals Hidden Order in Cosmic Ice
A groundbreaking study from University College London and the University of Cambridge reveals that water ice in space, long believed to be completely amorphous due to extreme cold, may actually contain up to 25% crystalline structure. Simulations and X-ray diffraction experiments confirm the presence of nanocrystals in so-called low-density amorpho...
