Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our deep oceans by helping drive “giant whirlpools,” according to new research. Scientists analyzed sediments, ...

A huge surge of gamma-ray energy from space caused electric currents to flow through the surface of the Earth on October 9, scientists have said. This gamma-ray burst, named GRB221009A, is the ...

NASA launched two sounding rocket missions from Alaska to measure auroral electrical currents and study geomagnetic storm impacts on Earth’s upper atmosphere and space-based systems.

Despite being a planet away, Mars may be triggering “giant whirlpools” in the Earth’s oceans. As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers analyzed samples ...

Earth's magnetic poles flip in a process called a geomagnetic reversal. The planet's magnetic field is generated by chaotic flows of molten metal deep inside Earth's core.

IN NOVEMBER 1929, a huge earthquake in the Grand Banks off the south coast of Newfoundland in Canada sent tremors as far as New York. As the sea floor shook, a vast quantity of sand and mud began to ...

Climate scientists have long tried to explain why ice-age cycles became longer and more intense some 900,000 years ago, switching from 41,000-year cycles to 100,000-year cycles. In a paper published ...
