When Earth was a molten inferno, water may have been locked safely underground rather than lost to space. Researchers ...
Recent scientific findings suggest that Earth once boasted oceans that were twice as deep as they are today. This groundbreaking discovery not only reshapes our understanding of Earth’s geological ...
A research team led by scientists at Kumamoto University has discovered a new genus of microscopic crustaceans from northern ...
Today, oceans cover about 70% of Earth’s surface. This stark contrast has long driven scientific interest in how water ...
With findings on Earth’s polar extremes and its innermost core, scientists shaped how we look at the planet in 2025 in ...
Earth's deep mantle stored enough water in rocks to equal one ocean during our planet's early molten days, helping explain life's survival.
How did life begin on Earth? While scientists have theories, they don't yet fully understand the precise chemical steps that ...
Astronomers have identified a massive cloud of water vapor surrounding a distant quasar, marking the largest single reservoir ...
3.8 billion years ago, when the Earth’s temperature cooled down, rain fell for centuries. Oceans formed. Longer than human history, the creation of oceans—all this water that we can float on, fly over ...
For roughly 2 billion years of Earth's early history, the atmosphere contained no oxygen, the essential ingredient required for complex life. Oxygen began building up during the period known as the ...
