Spacecraft monitoring the Sun witnessed a dramatic increase in the brightness of comet 3I/ATLAS as it approached its perihelion on 29 October, 2025. What's happening to the rare comet?
Rising global temperatures could make the Sahara much wetter, according to UIC researchers. Why might this happen?
The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is rarely visible at this time of year, but we can still see it from Earth with high-resolution astronomical systems providing illuminating data. What is it?
The European Space Agency (ESA) has discovered that the weak region of Earth’s magnetic field over the South Atlantic, known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), has expanded significantly since 2014.
Researchers used sound waves to generate high-resolution images of faults and fractures deep beneath the seafloor, revealing the plate's breaking points in parts of the Pacific Northwest.
Researchers have the unique opportunity to study the rare and mysterious comet 3I/ATLAS in detail as it approaches Mars in early October 2025, with several spacecraft and telescopes studying it as this happens.
Scientists have discovered a very hot planet with significant auroral activity. Detailed observations were made using the James Webb Space Telescope.
A scientific study shows that snow algae can cause greater melting in Antarctica than previously thought.
A rare deep-sea hydrothermal system has been discovered in the western Pacific that produces massive hydrogen emissions.
Scientists have found data on atmospheric CO₂ concentrations in the Mesozoic reconstructed from dinosaur tooth enamel.
CSIC scientists show that European forests have been losing their ability to absorb carbon for years
Europe's forests have lost their ability to absorb carbon in recent years due to various factors, which are analysed and quantified in a recent study by the CSIC (Spanish National Research Council).
Described as "Earth's twin kryptonite," jadarite is a rare and fascinating mineral that quickly caught the attention of scientists and Superman fans alike.
Earth's clouds are rapidly diminishing, and this could partially explain the record-breaking temperatures of recent years on our planet, trends that could continue in the future.
Human mega-constructions can have local, regional, global, and even planetary impacts, as in the case of the Three Gorges Dam in China.
Titan is a unique world. It's Saturn's largest moon, even larger than our own. It's the only rocky world in the entire solar system, apart from Earth, to have a significant atmosphere.
A group of scientists shows that the atmosphere's growing "water thirst" is worsening droughts, even in places where rainfall has remained constant. What's happening?
Substances known as PFAS, forever chemicals known for their environmental persistence and potential links to health problems, are being discovered in beer.
More than 14,000 years ago, there was a solar storm so massive that trees still remember it. Dwarfing modern solar storms, the event would devastate technology if it happened again today. How would it affect us?
A tropical depression named Alvin could form over warm waters off the west coast of Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center.
