Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...

Solar activity can be dangerous to astronauts in space. As Artemis II prepares to launch on April 1, NASA will be monitoring the Sun's eruptions to help keep the Artemis crew safe from excess ...

The Moon may preserve a chemical record of Earth’s ancient atmosphere, and those same materials could one day support future lunar missions.

Seismology has revealed much of the basics about earthquakes: Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. As for ...

The object, the latest “quasi-moon” detected by astronomers, could be with us for almost another 60 years. By Robin George Andrews The Earth stands alone in the solar system as a habitable world, as ...

The last total lunar eclipse visible from the U.S. happened less than a year ago, on March 13, 2025. That night, it was cloudy in Duluth, but satellite photos showed clear skies about 75 miles to the ...

A solar eclipse recorded in ancient China more than 2,700 years ago is helping scientists refine measurements of Earth’s rotation and investigate the Sun’s past behavior.
