Earth has now quite the sneaky neighbour, and astronomers have all the details. A tiny black hole, approximately 1,500 light-years from Earth, in the Monoceros constellation, it’s excitingly close by. As per astronomers’ calculations, we have nothing to worry about, ...
Space has sent to our planet a rare isotope of iron for the last 33,000 years. This thing is intriguing yet curious, mainly because scientists found radioactive dust underneath the ocean waves. That indicates how Earth is travelling through a ...
Annually, 5,200 tons of extraterrestrial dust reaches Earth, as per new research. This delicate yet harsh rain of bits of asteroids and other cosmic features far outweighs bigger meteorites that hit our planet. Despite such an enormous amount, it’s still ...

Can you imagine what our planet might have looked like in its early years? As challenging as it might be, this imagination exercise actually helps. At least, that’s what a team of researchers believes. Earth billion years ago was different ...
As new research emerges, we learn that Earth will lose its oxygen-rich atmosphere in about 1 billion years. What should we expect? A team of researchers came up with enough evidence via simulation that our planet is still right on ...
If you think you saw it all in 2020, you’re about to be amazed. Apparently, our planet was a rebel, hitting a new speed record. How so? According to new research, Earth was rotating faster in 2020. And it might ...
