The comet, named C/2021 A1 Leonard, will pass Earth for the first time in around 70,000 years in whats promised to be a "breathtaking" sight.

Where our planets oceans came from has puzzled scientists, but new research could help answer the mystery.

The moon has no core dynamo magnetic field, but spacecraft detect numerous strong localized magnetic fields in the crust of the moon. Many of these magnetic anomalies are antipodal to large impact basins. Scientists at Purdue University and the University of California, Santa Cruz, led by Brandon Johnson, Purdue associate professor of earth, atmospheric, and planetary sciences, ran impact simulations that showed that during oblique impact, ejected material piles up at the impact antipode. This a...

A comet that hasnt approached Earth for about 70,000 years is going to come relatively close to Earth soon. Mark your calendars.

The team believes it could be the oldest well-preserved mammoth tusk recovered from this region of North America.

The comet, C/2021 A1 Leonard, was noticed at the start of the year and scientists hope it just might be visible with the naked eye.

An international team of scientists may have solved a key mystery about the origins of the Earth’s water, after uncovering persuasive new evidence pointing to an unlikely culprit – the Sun. According to the University of Glasgow, in a new paper published in the journal Nature Astronomy, a team of researchers from the UK, Australia and America describe how new analysis of an ancient asteroid suggests that extraterrestrial dust grains carried water to Earth as the planet formed. The water in t...
