Planets don’t behave the way our school posters promised. The closer we look, the stranger they get: days longer than years, rain that hardens into gemstones, rings that are quietly dissolving into a planet’s atmosphere. Thanks to a flood of new data from spacecraft, giant telescopes, and clever lab experiments, the universe is serving plot ...
Picture a sky so bright it glows pearly white, a planet where the air itself is heavy and hot, and droplets of acid drift like endless mist. Venus has tempted explorers and dreamers for generations, and the latest wave of studies is reviving an unusually human question: what would it feel like to move through ...
Saturn’s largest moon looks like a world a novelist might have dreamed up, then science proved it was real. Wrapped in orange haze and cold enough to crack steel, Titan holds seas of liquid hydrocarbons and hints of an ocean hidden below ice. For decades, oceans meant water and life, but Titan flips that assumption ...
Imagine standing on the rust-colored desert of Mars. The dust swirls around your boots as your gaze falls upon a rugged cliffside layer upon layer of hardened clay, each stratum whispering secrets from billions of years ago. Could these silent bands of rock hold evidence that life once stirred on the Red Planet? Recent findings ...
The question of how water formed on Earth has intrigued scientists for decades. Recent studies challenge long-held theories, offering fresh perspectives on the origins of this life-sustaining resource. By analyzing rare meteorites and Earth’s early composition, researchers are uncovering clues that reshape our understanding of Earth’s watery beginnings. Meteorites and Earth’s Early Composition For years, ...
This summer, something strange is happening to our planet. It is spinning faster than normal, which means that some days are shorter by precious milliseconds. The Moon and Earth will be pulling on each other more strongly on July 9, July 22, and August 5, 2025. This will speed up the rotation of the Earth, ...
Mars’s rust-colored desserts, towering volcanoes, and tantalizing prospect of ancient life have enthralled people for millennia. Benevolent on its surface, though, lurks a far stranger secret rife with rotten eggs. Recent discoveries in science imply that the Martian core is not only an iron and nickel molten ball like that of Earth. Rather, it might ...
