Future Supercontinent Pangea Ultima Could Trigger Mass Extinction, Reveals New Study
A University of Bristol study warns that Earth’s future supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, may make the planet uninhabitable for humans and mammals. Due to a combination of rising CO₂ levels, increased solar radiation, and vast land area far from oceanic cooling, the supercontinent could experience widespread extreme temperatures. Though millions o...

Indian Scientists Discover A Massive Exoplanet That is Five Times Larger Than Earth
Indian scientists have identified a new exoplanet named TOI-6651b, which is five times larger than Earth and has a mass around 60 times greater. Located in the Neptunian desert, it orbits a Sun-like star every 5.06 days. The planet's composition suggests unique evolutionary processes, providing valuable insights into how such dense exoplanets form ...

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.

NASA Observatory Captures Image Of Aurora Created By A Solar Storm
The near-Earth Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this CME in September 2012, which traveled over 900 miles per second (1,448 kilometers per second), causing an aurora to appear.

Wolf 1069 b: Astronomers Discover An Earth-Like Planet Very Close To Us
A potentially habitable planet with a mass similar to Earth's has been found by scientists outside of our solar system.

NASA Discovers Super-Earth That May Support Life: All You Need To Know
Scientists have discovered a Super-Earth that is four times the mass of our planet and takes just 10.8 days to complete a whole year.

Scientists Discover a New Planet Hidden in a Debris Disk of a Young Star
Astronomers have a found a new exoplanet hiding in the debris disk of a star. Dubbed as AU Mic b, the exoplanet was found after decades of search, around the red dwarf star, AU Microscopii that is roughly 32 light-years away.

For First Time, Scientists Spot an Alien Planet as It Is Being Formed
This large young planet is forming around a star called AB Aurigae that is about 2.4 times the mass of the sun and located in our Milky Way galaxy 520 light years from Earth, researchers said on Wednesday. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km).

Earth's Wild Animal Population Plummets 60 Per Cent In 44 Years: WWF
"Runaway consumption" has decimated global wildlife, triggered a mass extinction and exhausted Earth's capacity to accommodate humanity's expanding appetites, the global conservation group WWF warned Tuesday. From 1970 to 2014, 60 percent of all animals with a backbone -- fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals -- were wiped out by human appe...

Indian Scientists Discover Sub-Saturn Size Planet
This discovery is very important for understanding the formation mechanism of such super-Neptune or sub-Saturn kind of planets.

'Annihilation' Of Earth's Species Underway: Study
The sixth mass extinction of life on Earth is unfolding more quickly than feared, and amounts to a "biological annihilation" of the planet's wildlife, scientists have warned.

Jupiter Is the Oldest Planet in the Solar System, New Evidence Shows
Although models predict that Jupiter formed relatively early, until now, its formation had never been dated.

'Super-Earth' Orbiting Nearby Star Boosts Search for Extra-Solar Life
The "Super-Earth", orbiting a nearby star 40 light years away, may offer the most promising target yet in the search for life beyond the Solar System.

There's An 'Earth-Like' Planet With An Atmosphere Just 39 Light-Years Away
There are a lot of good reasons to be captivated by the exoplanet GJ 1132b. Located in the constellation Vela, it's a mere 39 light-years from Earth - just a hop, skip and a jump in galactic terms. It's similar to Earth in terms of size and mass, and it dances in a close-in orbit around its star, a dimly burning red dwarf.

Juno Set To Reach Farthest Point In Its Jupiter Orbit
Five years after departing from Earth, NASA's Juno spacecraft is all set to reach the farthest point in its orbit of Jupiter on Sunday to "get the science" of the giant planet with a mass two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in our solar system combined.
