Our sun is about halfway through its life, which means Earth is as well. After a star exhausts its hydrogen nuclear fuel, its diameter expands more than a hundredfold, engulfing any unlucky planets in ...

TRAPPIST-1e, an Earth-sized world in the system’s habitable zone, is drawing scientific attention as researchers hunt for signs of an atmosphere—and potentially life-supporting conditions. Early James ...

Earth has the perfect combination of a livable atmosphere and a protective magnetic field that prevents the Sun's harmful radiation and radioactive solar winds from damaging us, allowing us to live on ...

Imagine never being able to dream of landing on Mars or traveling to Saturn. Not because it's impossible to get there, but because they didn't exist. Because Earth was the only planet in our solar ...

Each second of filmmaker Daniel Raven-Ellison's short film represents one percent of the Earth's surface. Only eight seconds show intact forest. A wetland in the U.K., seen from above. The short film ...

Scientists have identified three Earth-sized planets orbiting two stars in the TOI-2267 system. Remarkably, planets transit around both stars — a first in astronomy. The system’s compact, cold nature ...

It’s impossible to solve climate change without fixing the food system. Between deforestation for farmland, the methane in cow burps, and nitrous oxide fuming from fertilizer and animal waste, the ...
