From bringing down your plastic waste output to conserving water, every little bit helps. When small actions are taken by many and millions sign on there's powerful impact.
Researchers have found that Earth and Mars formed in different ways despite originating from the same solar nebula. Earth's mass primarily came from protoplanets accreting pebbles, while Mars's mass largely originated from planetesimals. This study, published in Nature Astronomy, used volatile elements as chemical fingerprints to reconstruct their formation 4.5 billion years ago, supporting a hybrid model of planet formation.
You may not know that nearly every year a handful of asteroids skim past Earth at distances that are startlingly close in astronomical terms.

A new study reveals that past emissions from major oil, gas, coal, and cement producers will continue to impact Earth's environment for centuries, even if emissions cease today. The research highlights that the planet will remain significantly warmer than pre-industrial levels, leading to persistent climate damages and increasing the likelihood of future extreme weather events, forming the basis for accountability lawsuits against these "carbon majors."
New research suggests that Venus's slow spin rate and strong gravity likely caused any hypothetical moon it once had to crash into the planet. This study, led by astrophysicist Stephen Kane, models planetary interactions and indicates that Venus did not require a catastrophic event to lose a moon, but rather its inherent physical properties led to its absorption. This finding has implications for understanding moon retention in other slowly rotating terrestrial planets.
Planet Earth welcomed its 8th billion inhabitant on Tuesday, a remarkable milestone for humanity that is set to propel India to become the world's most populous country next year, surpassing China amid rising global challenges.
Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, and few models have taken to Instagram to share their environmental point of view.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has characterised the strategic alignment between India and the United States as "extraordinary", emphasising that both nations have an opportunity to shape the course of the 21st century through partnership.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Seychelles, engaging in biodiversity conservation efforts with President Patrick Herminie. The visit included observing Aldabra Giant Tortoises and planting the unique Coco de Mer, symbolising India and Seychelles' commitment to environmental protection and strengthening bilateral ties.
NASA's Artemis II mission, launched on April 1, 2026, marks humanity's return journey to the Moon with four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft. Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen are on an approximately 10-day mission around the Moon. Stunning images from Orion's windows capture breathtaking views of Earth after the historic translunar injection burn.

Canadian deep-sea fossils push the origin of animal sex and movement back 567 million years, rewriting early evolutionary timelines.
A new study suggests that moons orbiting free-floating planets, with dense hydrogen atmospheres and tidal heating, could maintain liquid oceans for billions of years, potentially supporting the development of complex life.
A new study reveals that solar winds gradually strip atmospheric particles from Mars, similar to how wind creates waves on water. Researchers used data from NASA's MAVEN and China's Tianwen-1 missions to identify Kelvin-Helmholtz waves as a key mechanism driving this atmospheric escape, explaining how Mars transformed from a potentially habitable planet to its current cold, dry state.
'When a glacier collapse or a major flood event does occur, the water will simply reclaim its original path, and anything built in that path will be swept away.'

After 54 years, the human race will set out for an encounter with planet earth's closest neighbour, the Moon. The Artemis II Moon mission was initially scheduled to launch in February as a 10-day lunar flight, carrying four astronauts -- NASA's Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch and Victor Glover, along with Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen.
Scientists discover tiny whirlpool-like swirls on the Sun that could explain solar activity, improve space weather research and solve a decades-old solar mystery.

'If planets are, as many of your own geophysicists argue, bodies shaped by their own gravity and expressing internal processes, then by that measure, I am not an exception.'
It is very unfortunate that China has decided to proceed with the controversial mega hydropower plants(despite the apparent opposition of many scientists in China). Why is Delhi silent about the development? asks Claude Arpi.
Buzz Lightyear's 'to infinity and beyond' in Toy Story was meant as an impossible boast. Voyager, however, has given it unexpected meaning -- not because it will ever reach infinity, but because for it the beyond is already in progress
