Environmental Protection Agency circumvented a more robust review process when it produced a key scientific document underpinning its decision to regulate climate-changing pollution according to an internal government watchdog.

A recent study suggests that continued global warming could, some day, result in some animals becoming smaller. The new research from Queen Mary, University of London reveals how this warming might cause world’s animals to shrink.

From Earth's moon to supernovas in other galaxies, astounding images of space have been released recently from NASA expeditions.

The dead NASA satellite plunged into the remote South Pacific Ocean, when it crashed to Earth last Saturday, said NASA on Tuesday.

Noble or inert gases, like helium, argon and neon inside the earth's thickest layer (mantle) have given clues about the planet's birth.

The strong solar storm that reached the Earth on Monday has shrouded our planet with cosmic rays and high-energy particles that can prove to be hazardous to astronauts and airline passengers in coming days, space scientists have warned.

Just days after NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite plunged into the Pacific Ocean, another satellite -- this one German -- is beginning its descent to Earth. And once again, nobody knows where it will land.

NASA's provides new ocean salinity maps from data collected by satellite Aquarius.

Particles that were blasted by the sun during a powerful solar flare on Saturday have reached Earth, which will illuminate the Northern Lights in some regions and may also interrupt radio and GPS signals.

A massive solar flare that erupted on the Sun over the weekend have crossed the solar system and hit the Earth's magnetic field at approximately 8:15 a.m. EDT (12:15 UT) on Sept. 26, according to NASA.

A dead NASA Upper Atmosphere Research satellite fell on Earth on Saturday,k but it is not known where the crashed remains are.

NASA said 26 components of its Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), weighing a total of 1,200 pounds, could have survived the fiery fall and landed on the surface of the Earth. The space agency said the UARS fell back to Earth between 11:23 p.m. EDT on Friday and 1:09 a.m. Saturday.

Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon and commander of Apollo 11, said the United States risks squandering 5 decades of space research, work, and accomplishments, if the nation does not find ways to restore hope and confidence in NASA, as part of a unified sense of purpose on space exploration.

A 6-ton defunct NASA satellite has fallen back to Earth Saturday, but officials are not sure of the exact location of the debris that rained into the Pacific Ocean.

A six-ton NASA science satellite pierced the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean and fell back to Earth, the U.S. space agency said on Saturday, but it was not yet known where the remains landed.

As time ticks away toward the plunge of UARS satellite, its falling trajectory still remains unknown. According to NASA, its dead, bus-sized satellite will fall back to earth in the afternoon or early evening of Sept. 23(EDT).

NASA breaking down its suspense on Friday said that it's possible that the huge six and a half ton Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) which is expected to fall on Earth is down by now.

NASA's huge six and a half ton Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite(UARS) continues to plummet towards the Earth and is expected to fall to the Earth sometime late Friday night or early Saturday morning. The 20-year-old satellite was expected to fall to Earth sometime on Friday afternoon.

A defunct atmosphere-monitoring satellite is expected to enter earth's atmosphere, break into pieces and smack down upon Earth on Friday.

A dead 6.5 ton NASA UARS satellite would make its re-entry in to Earth on Friday, Sept.23, bringing along a chance to watch a spectacular sky show.

Science teacher James Drake compiled 600 images of the Earth that were taken by astronauts from space since the 1960s to create a time-elapsed 60-second video which gives the illusion of how astronauts from the International Space Station see Earth.
