Earth's temperatures will likely stabilize for a period as deep oceans can absorb enough heat to conceal the effects of global warming for up to a decade, a new study indicates.
The recently released 2011 Times Atlas grossly exaggerates the amount of ice loss in Greenland, according to researchers at the Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge University.
NASA may have retired its Space Shuttle Program, but astronauts are still finding creative ways of bringing images from space down to earth.
For weeks NASA's defunct 7-ton research satellite has been falling towards Earth with the potential of shattering on the earth's surface and raining debris on densely populated areas, but the Space agency has confirmed the impeding threat saying it is set to crash by the end of the week.
Temperatures will be seasonal this week with some areas having a chance of rain and slight odds of falling NASA satellite debris.
Global warming is temporarily on hold as the deep ocean currents and circulations absorb the sun's heat before releasing it finally, scientists said on Sunday.
Deep oceans may absorb enough heat to mask the effects of global warming for decades as per a new study.
Residents of a village in east China accused riot police of heavy-handed tactics after a three-day protest against a solar panel factory accused of dumping toxic waste was brought to an end on Sunday.
Protesters have camped outside an east China-based solar panel manufacturer accusing it of dumping toxic waste into a river, China's official Xinhua news agency reported on Sunday.
Earth's temperatures will likely stabilize for a period as a new study suggests that deep oceans may absorb enough heat to flatten the rate of global warming for periods as long as a decade.
Science teacher James Drake compiled 600 images to create a time-elapsed 60 second video of what it feels like to fly around the world from space from the perspective of an astronaut.
Ever wonder what astronauts see when flying over the Earth daily? Thanks to a scientist, now you can see what it feels like to fly over the planet in a newly released video.
In a preparation for future space exploration, a group of NASA's diving crew will live in Aquarius underwater research laboratory located near Key Largo, Florida during October.
A dead NASA satellite will be plunging back to the Earth in about a week, around September 23, though there is absolutely no idea as to where it is going to fall.
NASA's 6.5-ton Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite would fall to Earth next week after the end of a productive scientific life.

Researchers in Jordan are using new technology to learn more about the mysterious Nazca Lines found in the deserts of the Middle East.
Three of the six astronauts who were stationed at the International Space Station, began their return to Earth on Friday aboard a Soviet-era capsule.
The Arctic sea ice extent fell to 1.67 million square miles, or 4.33 million square kilometers on Sept. 9. That minimum is more than one million square miles below the 1979 to 2000 monthly average extent for September, which experts say is an area larger than Texas and California combined.
A new study from San Francisco State University finds that rising sea levels and stronger storms caused by global warming may cost the state of California hundreds of millions of dollars in lost tourism and tax revenues as beaches shrink and buildings require additional protection.
The drought, which started in the fall of 2010 and hit eight provinces, has already touched more than 44 million people and cost the agriculture industry $4.5 billion,
A research team from NASA has created high-resolution maps of freshwater aquifers buried deep beneath a desert in Northern Kuwait by using radar sounding technology that provides more accurate idea of underground water levels.
