To reach this conclusion, scientists compared data from two independent measurements -- NASA's Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) and data from a global array of ocean floats called Argo that enable an accurate estimate of the rate at which the world's oceans are heating up.
Sharks use the Earth's magnetic field as a sort of natural GPS to navigate journeys that take them great distances across the world's oceans, scientists have found.
After nearly five years in space, NASA's Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft is on its way back to Earth with an abundance of rocks and dust from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu, the US space agency said.
The spent stage of China's Long March 5B-Rocket that launched last month is expected to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere
Replying to questions about the Long March 5B rocket, which last week launched the core module of the country's space station and started hurtling down to Earth, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told a media briefing on Friday that China will provide timely updates on it.
In a big relief, NASA has ruled out the possibility of asteroid Apophis impacting Earth in 2068, saying that our planet is safe from this notorious space rock for at least a century.
The largest asteroid to visit Earth in 2021 is passing by our planet on Sunday at a speed of about 124,000 kph. Although this speed is faster than the speed at which most asteroids encounter Earth, there is no threat of a collision with our planet, NASA said earlier this month.
Comets could have been an essential source of carbon on planets like Earth and Mars during the early formation of the solar system, says a new study.
Some microbes found on Earth may temporarily survive on the surface of Mars, according to a study that could be vital for the success of future missions to the Red Planet.
In a bid to take on Google Maps, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and digital mapping and location-based deep-tech company MapmyIndia on Friday announced a new initiative to offer a fully indigenous, mapping portal and geospatial services.
The researchers noted that ice melt across the globe raises sea levels, increases the risk of flooding to coastal communities, and threatens to wipe out natural habitats which the wildlife depends on.
Scientists believe that our Earth may be spinning faster than it has in over 50 years owing to the change in the speed of the earth’s rotation, which has increased over the last 5 decades.
Astrologer Nostradamus has made 6,338 predictions out of which 3797 prophecies have apparently proved correct. This time, he had said the asteroid would fly past Earth sometime during early 2021.
NASA has approved the Mars Sample Return (MSR) multi-mission effort to advance to the next phase in preparation to bring the first pristine samples from Mars back to Earth.
A Chinese lunar capsule returned to Earth on Thursday with the first fresh samples of rock and debris from the moon in more than 40 years.
A new research using magnetism has provided significant data that will help inform scientists about the early origins of the solar system and why some planets such as Earth became habitable and were able to sustain conditions conducive for life, while other planets, such as Mars, did not.
A Chinese spacecraft took samples of the moon’s surface Wednesday as part of a mission to bring lunar rocks back to Earth for the first time since the 1970s, the government said, adding to a string of successes for Beijing’s increasingly ambitious space program.
Earth is inching closer to a supermassive black hole in the Milky Way galaxy at 7 km per second, a study has found out. According to a map issued by Japanese radio astronomy project VERA, earth in the past 35 years has travelled some 1,900 light years and is now sitting at a distance of 25,800 light years from the black hole.
China said on Monday that it will launch its first unmanned space mission on Tuesday to collect samples from the moon's surface and return to earth, which its space scientists say is one of the country's most complicated and challenging space missions.
A giant asteroid called Apophis, named after an Egyptian 'God of Chaos' is speeding its journey towards earth and may hit our blue planet in year 2068.
