A shifting of Earth’s poles, referred to as ‘True Polar Wander,” combined with the sinking of tectonic plates during the Cenozoic Era, altered the planet’s interior, with rising hot mantle material ...

Earth’s magnetic shield is shifting in dramatic ways. New data from ESA’s Swarm satellites show that the South Atlantic Anomaly — a vast weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field — has grown by nearly half ...

Uranus does not behave like an ordinary planet. Its magnetic field tilts by nearly 60 degrees and sits off-center, so the ...

That’s just what researchers from Northumbria University in the United Kingdom recently did, mapping the atmosphere of Uranus for the first time. They published their findings in Geophysical Research ...

In 250 million years, Earth’s continents may merge into a supercontinent so extreme that most mammals would struggle to survive.

A stream of charged particles known as the solar wind flows from the Sun toward Earth. Here, it meets the Earth's magnetic ...

Scientists at Stanford have unveiled the first-ever global map of rare earthquakes that rumble deep within Earth’s mantle rather than its crust. Long debated and notoriously difficult to confirm, ...

Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, the strength of gravity varies over Earth's surface. And it is weakest ...

The European Space Agency's Plato spacecraft has been fully assembled in a cleanroom at ESA's Test Centre in the Netherlands.

Tiny earth observation satellites in 2026 track hurricanes, crops, and ships with CubeSat weather monitoring, small satellite ...

Scientists traced the mysterious global vibration back to a single, 650-foot wave violently trapped inside a remote waterway.
