Scientists from Allahabad University and the University of Bern have discovered that the Dhala structure in India was formed by a rare ureilite meteorite between 2500 and 1700 million years ago, making it the worlds seventh oldest impact structure. This finding could revolutionize our understanding of impact events on Earth and the early history of the solar system. Further investigations into the Dhala impact structure are underway to uncover more details about the nature of this rare meteorite...

Climate change is affecting the color of the oceans, a shift in hue showing changes to marine ecosystems, and threatening Earth's status as a "pale blue dot."

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have found the possible ‘sibling’ of a planet orbiting a distant star. The team has detected a cloud of debris that might be sharing this planet’s orbit and which, they believe, could be the building blocks of a new planet or the remnants of one already formed. If confirmed, this discovery would be the strongest evidence yet that two exoplanets can share one orbit.

Climate model projections indicate that New Mexico's future will be warmer and drier, with diminished water supply from the Rio Grande, presenting extreme challenges for policy makers and agricultural stakeholders. A new study titled, “Adapting irrigated...

In a new scientific paper, researchers at MIT, the University of Maine, and elsewhere pieced together satellite data from the past two decades to detect the shift, a worrying development they said could be a harbinger of major changes in the marine food chain.

Over the past 20 years huge swathes of the world's oceans have changed color, displaying a subtle greening towards the tropics that researchers say points to the effect of climate change on life in the world's seas. In new research published last week, scientists said&#...

Space telescopes are limited in size due to the difficulties and cost of getting into orbit. By revamping an old optical technology, researchers are working on a lightweight and thin telescope design.

MONDAY, July 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The color of the oceans has changed over the past two decades, which has scientists concerned about the impact of climate change.
