Astronomers think small space rocks from beyond our solar system routinely strike Earth—but proving it isn’t easy ...

When two galaxies collide, they create a cosmic crisis that planets must solve! Welcome to SpaceBalls – where science meets ...

When NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft sailed past Jupiter in 1979, it recorded a stunning and unusual phenomenon—plasma waves as ...

This paper proposes a new theoretical content and research framework of multi-spheric interaction-driven hydrocarbon ...

Earth is spinning faster this summer, making the days marginally shorter and attracting the attention of scientists and timekeepers. But these days are not ‘short’ in terms of how many sunlight hours ...

Analysis of an ancient meteorite suggests that rocky planets both near and distant from the sun may have formed at the same ...

Volcanic planets with static crusts, called Ignan Earths, can maintain liquid oceans and temperate climates favorable to life.

According to researchers writing in the journal Icarus, a rare but possible event could one day push Earth out of the solar system entirely. The culprit? A wandering star.

New research says that Earth could be ejected from our solar system if a passing star was to come close enough.

Could a passing star be on a collision course with our solar system and, eventually, Earth? It’s difficult to know if such an outcome is likely. Recently, researchers have found the Milky Way ...

A brighter Earth won’t solve every problem, but without it, every other climate effort will fall short. The sleeping giant of albedo is the climate system’s protective shield.

Simulations show that the stars’ tug could send Mercury, Venus or Mars crashing into Earth — or let Jupiter eject our world from the solar system.
