A new ‘prescription for the planet’ from health and climate scientists sets specific targets to heal Earth’s vital signs — from CO₂ cuts to ecosystem restoration. Can we follow the doctor’s orders?
A meteorite discovered in the Sahara desert could be the first evidence of a lost planet from the early solar system, offering unprecedented insights into planetary formation.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveals how a Jupiter-like planet survived its star’s death, migrated to a tight orbit around a white dwarf, and what this means for Earth’s future.
Astrophotographer Mark Williams captures a massive ‘Godzilla’ plasma prominence on the Sun’s limb. Learn how it formed, what it means for space weather, and why solar activity is peaking.
A biodegradable polymer spray developed in Western Australia captures moisture from the air and delivers it to crop seeds, offering drought-proofing for farmers facing declining rainfall.
Proposed budget cuts threaten to gut NSF, NASA, and NIH funding. Experts warn of a science ice age that could end U.S. leadership in innovation. Learn how to act.
Dark matter may not be a cosmic loner. New theoretical models suggest a hidden dark force could slow the growth of galaxies and clusters, challenging standard cosmology and the S8 tension.
Explore the impact of Starlink’s 4,500+ satellites: how they bring internet to remote areas, disrupt astronomy, and change our night sky forever.
