For decades, climate science has treated Earth’s shifting crust as a slow, distant backdrop to the drama of global warming. New research is rewriting that script, showing that the way continents drift ...

A huge region of molten iron deep beneath the Pacific Ocean suddenly changed direction around 2010. The discovery suggests ...

A new Earthset image has been captured by the crew of Artemis II, 58 years since the iconic Earthrise photograph taken by the crew of Apollo 8. Over these past six decades, the climate has changed ...

A recent study has revealed an unexpected shift that happened beneath the Pacific Ocean in 2010. Using decades of satellite and ground-based magnetic field data, researchers tracked a dramatic shift ...

A surprising reversal in molten iron flow beneath the Pacific is giving scientists a sharper view of how Earth’s magnetic ...

When Earth was a molten inferno, water may have been locked safely underground rather than lost to space. Researchers discovered that bridgmanite deep in the mantle can store far more water at high ...

Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, the strength of gravity varies over Earth's surface. And it is weakest ...

NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of ...

While we have sent probes billions of kilometres into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own planet, not even making it through the thin crust. Roughly 3,000km beneath ...

Earthrise. The view of the rising Earth as photographed by the Apollo 8 astronauts on December 24 1968 as they came from behind the Moon after the fourth nearside orbit. Nasa/William Anders A new ...
