Mars Satellite Images Reveal Giant 'Kidney Beans,' Sparking Hints of Water and Life
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of frozen sand dunes in Mars' northern hemisphere, revealing unique formations halted by carbon dioxide frost during winter. Unlike Earth's desert dunes, which shift with wind, these Martian dunes remain stationary until spring thaw releases their icy grip. Scientists study these features to unders...

Ancient Ice Core from Antarctica May Reveal Climate Mysteries from 1.2 Million Years Ago
A team of scientists in Antarctica has extracted a 2.8-kilometre-long ice core from Little Dome C, believed to be 1.2 million years old. The ice core contains trapped air bubbles and volcanic ash, offering valuable data on climate shifts and the Mid-Pleistocene Transition. The research aims to uncover the cause behind significant climatic changes a...

Climate Change Could Make Earth's Oldest Microorganisms Dominant in Oceans, Study Reveals
New research highlights a significant shift in marine ecosystems due to climate change. Prokaryotes, the oldest and smallest microorganisms on Earth, are expected to become more dominant as ocean temperatures rise. These microorganisms, which include bacteria and archaea, play a crucial role in marine nutrient cycles and food chains. However, their...

Melting Polar Ice Changing Earth's Rotation And Messing With Time: Study
Since the polar ice is melting, the mass around the Earth's equator is increasing, which is affecting the planet's rotation.

Scientists Find An Unexpected Player In Earth's Climate Cycles - Mars
Our existence is governed by natural cycles, from the daily rhythms of sleeping and eating, to longer patterns such as the turn of the seasons and the quadrennial round of leap years.

Radar Images Reveal Mars Is Coming Out Of An Ice Age
An analysis of radar images that peered inside the polar ice caps of Mars shows that Earth's neighbor is coming out of an ice age that is part of an ongoing cycle of climate change, scientists said on Thursday.
