NASA says Earth is about halfway through its lifespan. Scientists explain how solar changes could affect habitability, oceans, and the planet’s future over billions of years ...

Earth’s magnetic field, the invisible barrier that deflects solar radiation and makes surface life possible, is not permanent in its current orientation. Geologic records show that magnetic north and ...

Mysterious Iron Bar Found in Space Could Hint at How Earth’s Future Might Change Forever ...

Model-based scenarios of Earth’s future suggest that in the next few decades, eight of the nine planetary boundaries — safety limits for environmental pressure — could be crossed. However, targeted ...

Satellite-based Earth observation provides a unique and powerful tool in tracking climate adaptation, an international study involving University of Galway researchers has shown. An international ...

Clouds play an important role in determining the current and future temperature and global warming rate of the Earth. They simultaneously cool the Earth by reflecting sunlight and warm the planet by ...

These ancient cores may contain clues about an unexplained change in Earth’s glacial-interglacial cycles, and could shed light on how human-generated emissions will shape our planet’s future. Reading ...

A snapshot of simulated climate conditions. Blue/red shading: sea surface temperature deviations from zonal mean; gray/white shading: low clouds; green/pink shading: 10m wind speed; blue/yellow ...

NASA is planning a mission to demonstrate the ability to repair and upgrade satellites in Earth orbit. The mission, called OSAM-1 (On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing-1), will send a ...
