MUSE and HelioSwarm will help improve our understanding of the dynamics of the Sun-Earth connection, and the changing space environment.

Earth's core is characterized by extremely high pressure and temperature. It is composed of a liquid outer core and solid inner core.

A state-of-the-art asteroid alert system can scan the entire dark sky every 24 hours for dangerous bodies that could plummet toward Earth.

The missing link isn’t a not-yet-discovered fossil, after all. It’s a tiny, self-replicating globule called a coacervate droplet.

Earth’s plates might be shifting because the sun exerts such a strong gravitational pull on the moon that its orbit is elongating.

Researchers discovered the structures of proteins that may be responsible for the origins of life in the primordial soup of ancient Earth.

An astronomer and a group of eagle-eyed citizen scientists have discovered a giant gas planet hidden from view by typical stargazing tools.

Matter on Earth, both live and inert, experiences the effects of the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon expressed in the form of tides

Astronomers have discovered at least 70 new free-floating planets — planets that wander through space without a parent star.

Astronomers spying on a stellar system located dozens of lightyears from Earth have, for the first time, observed a troubling fireworks show

Researchers have helped unravel the enduring mystery of the origins of the Earth's water, finding the Sun to be a surprising likely source.

A chunk of rock and iron, which was 60 feet across, served as a violent reminder that Earth, bombarded daily with tons of space-going debris

NASA plans to crash a spacecraft traveling at a speed of 15,000 miles per hour into an asteroid next year to test 'planetary defense'.

A near-Earth asteroid named Kamo`oalewa could be a fragment of our moon, according to a new paper. Kamo`oalewa is a quasi-satellite.

Planets known as eggshell planets, which orbit distant stars, have ultra-thin crusts too thin to sustain tectonics and are hostile to life.

A major new space telescope searching for 'Earth 2.0'—to Succeed Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope —is one step closer to reality.

NASA plans to crash a spacecraft traveling at a speed of 15,000 miles per hour into an asteroid next year in a test of "planetary defense".

2.5 to 4 billion years ago, a time known as the Archean eon, Earth’s weather could often be described as cloudy with a chance of asteroids.

While analyzing some of the world’s oldest coloured gemstones, researchers discovered carbon residue that was once ancient life.
