EARTH

A recent research by NASA scientists has revealed and confirmed that planet Earth is not expanding, putting all previous speculations since Darwin’s time to rest.

Even as scientists are working on improving solar storm predictions, a NASA spacecraft with the latest data processing techniques has tracked a solar storm engulfing the planet for the first time.

In response to rising temperatures, many species of plants and animals are migrating to higher altitudes and latitudes, according to a new study by the Department of Biology at the University of York.

A 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck off Japan's northeastern coast on Friday. This triggered a 50 cm (20 inch) tsunami warning for the coastal areas of Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures, which was lifted about 35 minutes later.

It may sound like a plot of a sci-fi movie, but aliens might attack Earth to destroy humanity for the greater good of the rest of the Milky Way galaxy.

NASA-funded researchers created the first complete map of the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica, showing glaciers flowing thousands of miles from the continent's deep interior to its coast.

Plant and animal species have reacted to global warming by moving towards the north, away from the equator at a faster rate to avoid Earth's rising temperature, reveals a survey of nearly 1,400 species.

NASA has teamed up with researchers from the University of California and various space agencies to map the Antarctica ice flow.

Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas and a candidate for the 2012 Republican nomination for president, said Wednesday he doubts man-made climate change is occurring, and also asserted that some scientists have manipulated the climate change research data to keep the issue alive.

New techniques to study rocks have led researchers to believe that the Earth's moon is actually much younger than previously predicted. The study also has ramifications for the Earth itself, thought to be made of the same material.

Earth's moon might not be as old as widely believed, as emerging new techniques date moon rocks to a more recent time.

NASA is discounting rampant Internet rumors that comet Elenin will strike Earth or disrupt its gravitational pull in October.

An international team of scientists suggest that Earth's moon is either 200 million years younger than widely believed or it has evolved differently over time based on test done on moon rocks.

Tests performed on a moon rock sample have led an international team of scientists to suggest that Earth's moon is either 200 million years younger than widely believed or it has evolved differently over time.

New techniques to study rocks have led researchers to believe that the Earth's moon is actually much younger than previously predicted.

NASA said that 3-5 kilometer-wide comet Elenin will not wreak havoc upon our Earth. The space agency said that it is too small and that its "closest approach" to Earth will bring it 90 times the Earth-moon distance. NASA decided to hold a Q & A session headed by Don Yeomans of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and David Morrison of the NASA Astrobiology Institute at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Ca...

New research indicates that Arctic sea ice may temporarily stabilize or expand over the next few decades after its rapid retreat that saw a historical peak in July. Arctic ice has been declining since the start of satellite monitoring in 1979, and half of the trend is attributed to human activity, the study also revealed.

New research suggests that oxygen may have been present in Earth's ancient oceans millions of years before it was breathed into the atmosphere.

Scientists at the European Space Agency is planning a test mission to blow up an asteroid to see if it's possible to change its course from heading towards the Earth. The mission, called Don Quixote, launches in 2015.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT, discovered that oxygen may have been laying low in undersea "oxygen oases" before making contact with the atmosphere.

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has announced a possible first-ever cosmic detection of flat carbon flakes called graphene in two small galaxies outside the solar system. Upon confirmation, researchers believe that it might hold vital clues on how life developed on Earth.
