Peculiar bursts of energy called chorus waves have been detected in deep space far from our planet, suggesting they could pose problems for long-distance space travel
Deeply hidden in Earth's mantle there are two huge "islands" the size of a continent. New research from Utrecht University shows that these regions are not only hotter than the surrounding graveyard of cold sunken tectonic plates,

Every day, about 48.5 tonnes of space rock hurtle towards Earth. Meteorites that fall into the ocean are never recovered. But the ones that crash on land can spark debates about legal ownership.
While OpenAI’s lobbying spending is still dwarfed by bigger tech players, the uptick comes as it and other AI companies are helping redraw the shape of AI policy. Read the full story. Forget massive steel tanks—some scientists want to make chemicals with the help of rocks deep beneath Earth’s surface.
Researchers have unveiled new findings that reshape our understanding of the Moon's formation and Earth's early hydration. They discovered that the Moon likely originated from Earth's mantle, not from the collision with the protoplanet Theia as previously thought.
From the flamboyant blossoms and birds of rainforests to the living rainbows of coral reefs, Earth’s surface is teeming with life. But some of its most diverse and fascinating biomes are thriving in the darkness below.
Doorbell cameras aren’t just for busting home invaders and porch pirates. A Ring camera captured the sound of a meteorite crash-landing near a house in Prince Edward Island, Canada, marking the first time this interstellar noise had been recorded alongside video footage.
The processes that form continental crust from the denser basaltic rocks of the upper mantle may make the lower lithosphere denser than the underlying mantle. One theory holds that the lower lithosphere splits away and sinks into the mantle in a process called foundering.
"Once again, the temperature record has been shattered — 2024 was the hottest year since record keeping began in 1880."
A collection of Martian rocks could reveal details about potential past life on the Red Planet – but first NASA has to get them back to Earth.
Several Gulf states experienced a major snowstorm this week. Changes in global climate patterns can be connected to weird weather events.
