The findings from the first-ever archaeological survey in space have been published in the journal PLOS ONE, by the research team behind the International Space Station Archaeological Project (ISSAP).
Modern commercial aircraft are delivering a 'double whammy' warming of the climate through their long-lived contrails, finds new research.
While not as big as T. rex, the middle-weight tyrannosaur unearthed in Southern China is the first deep-snouted variety to occur in this region.
In a self-perpetuating cycle, global warming leads to permafrost thaw, which leads to erosion, which contributes to climate change. In a warming climate, Alaskan permafrost is unable to reform fast enough to replace what has thawed in warmer months.
There are more and more climate shelter initiatives in cities, as well as migratory movements of the population forced by climate extremes.
Rock art from the Colombian Amazon has provided archaeologists with a new insight into the complex relationships the people had with the animals they encountered and shared their lives with.
This August we will have the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular Sturgeon Supermoon, which will appear 16% larger and 30% brighter in the night sky.
Only 21 of these strange pairs of stars are known. Although born at the same time and therefore twins, one will still live for billions of years, the other has aged prematurely and has long since passed away.
Combining the expertise of Google and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the study reveals NeuralGCM: a revolutionary AI-based approach that could outperform traditional climate models.
In April 2023, a powerful solar flare temporarily tore off the tail of the solar magnetosphere. During those two hours, the Earth's bow shock temporarily disappeared.
Shocking new scientific discoveries thanks to the Parker Solar Probe! The mysterious temperatures in the solar corona do not appear to be caused by S-shaped bends in the magnetic field.
