For eons, Earth has experienced dramatic shifts, punctuated by five catastrophic mass extinction events that wiped out vast swathes of life. Now, a growing chorus of scientists is sounding the ...

Regardless of Musk's ambitions, leaving Planet Simple demands more than a rocket: We need a paradigm shift in how we understand our relationship with complex systems.

Planet K2-18b – more than eight times the mass of Earth and over twice as big – was discovered 10 years ago, but it was only in 2019 that the presence of water vapour in K2-18b's atmosphere ...

Kepler-725c's mass is quite significant — 10 times greater than the mass of Earth. This places it in the upper echelons of a type of planet called super-Earths — giant, probably rocky worlds.

Patrick Dempsey shared a rare photo of his and his wife Jillian Fink's 18-year-old twins, Sullivan and Darby, at their high school graduation.

The asteroid will make its closest approach to Earth at 7.59 p.m. ET (2359 GMT) on June 5, at which time it will pass 2,170,309 miles (3,492,787 kilometers) from our planet, over nine times the ...

Think Earth is just a static rock? Dive deep, and you'll find a dynamic world where metals leak, water seeps, and its insides ...

The exoplanet, Kepler-725c, has 10 times the mass of Earth and is located in the habitable zone of the sun-like star Kepler-725. The discovery is published in Nature Astronomy.

The Sombrero galaxy has long had a place in astronomical history as an intriguing object. The first written record of this galaxy was noted in 1781, almost 250 years ago, by Pierre Méchain, a ...

Astronomers had detected just a hint, a glimmer of two molecules swirling in the atmosphere of a distant planet called K2-18b — molecules that on Earth are produced only by living things.

As astronomers study an exoplanet called K2-18b, conflicting research reveals how difficult it is to find evidence of life beyond Earth.

The dwarf planet candidate’s closest point to the sun is about 7 billion kilometers, roughly 45 times that of Earth’s distance. One trip around the sun takes more than 24,000 years.
