Tree cacti called Key Largo have been completely extinct in the United States, and researchers believe this may be the first local extinction caused by rising sea levels.
Air from the stratosphere often sinks into the troposphere due to meandering jet streams and can generate a high concentration of hydroxyl radicals with important consequences.
The exoplanet HD 189733 b has very similar characteristics to Jupiter. New research reveals that it contains hydrogen sulfide, something rare outside the solar system. How important is this?
EU’s climate change monitoring service highlights ‘large and continuing shift’ in earth’s climate. The trend is ‘more than a statistical oddity’ it says.
The new dinosaur species Fona herzogae may have been small but certainly not boring. The dog-sized dino displays characteristics shared with other animals that would have helped with stability while digging, suggesting it would have spent time underground.

It was selected as "image of the month", the most special obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope. You photographed an object with an incredible ring shape with trilogy. Let's see what it's about.
Was it climate change or humans that caused the unfortunate extinction of large mammals, reptiles and birds over the last 50,000 years?
Researchers have repurposed an antenna on a Mars orbiter to help them better understand the Martian atmosphere at different times of the day, and year.
High levels of fibreglass have been found in the soft tissues of oysters and mussels, which raises concerns about the health of the oceans.
The European Space Agency’s Mars Express Orbiter has unveiled striking new insights into the Martian landscape with its latest images of Aganippe Fossa, a colossal canyon stretching across the Martian surface.
