NASA scientists have just identified mysterious shapes flying above the Earth but, don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that aliens are about to strike.Using an imaging instrument called the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD), the experts uncovered strange X and C shapes, which have been cropping up in surprising places at surprising times.The researchers found the structures dancing around the ionosphere – the area where Earth’s atmosphere meets space – and say that the discovery could help improve radio communications and space weather forecasts.The ionosphere – which sits around 50 to 400 miles (roughly 80 to 644 kilometres)...

NASA scientists discover strange structures hovering above Earth

It may surprise you to learn how little we know about the Earth’s inner workings. While we have a solid understanding of how the upper layers move, forming mountains and causing earthquakes, the deeper we go, the more mysterious it gets. One area of fierce debate over recent decades...

Something very strange is happening to Earth’s core, and scientists might finally know why

A new study has revealed that the Earth’s core rotation has slowed down so much it has actually reversed.While there’s still plenty about our planet that leaves scientists baffled, what we do know is our planet is made up of different layers: the crust, mantle, and core. Now a new study has suggested that the speed of the Earth’s core has dramatically slowed and is spinning independently from our planet in reverse.The core is the hottest part of the planet with a level of heat equivalent to that of the surface of the Sun. But, at 5,180 kilometres down inside...

The Earth's core has slowed down so much that it's now in reverse, worrying study discovers

The frozen continent of Antarctica is, paradoxically, a hotbed of volcanic activity.The ice-capped region is home to some 138 volcanoes nestled beneath the snow, 91 of which were discovered as recently as 2017.Whilst most of them are considered dormant or possibly extinct, three have erupted in recent history according to the Smithsonian Institution’s Global Volcanism Program: Penguin Island in 1905; Deception Island in 1970, and Mount Erebus in 1972.The latter of these is arguably Antarctica’s most famous – winning the titles of tallest active volcano on the continent – with its summit standing at 12,448 feet (3,794 metres) – and...

A new study published this month has highlighted the growing dangers of changes in ocean currents. According to this new research, weaker circulation in the ocean currents could actually enhance the amount of buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere, speeding up the destruction of the planet by increasing global temperatures.
The changes in the ocean’s overturning circulation are also tied to climate change advances—so it’s kind of like a circle of life type of thing. The slowdown, scientists predict, could mean less pull down of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by the ocean. However, they also predicted that it could mean...

Shortly before 3 AM, people in the Chicago area may have felt their houses shake as a 3.4-magnitude earthquake occurred about 60 miles west of the city. (CHICAGO) The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported a 3.4-magnitude earthquake around Somonauk, IL. Somonauk is in DeKalb and LaSalle Counties, 64 miles west of Chicago.

Experts have predicted the length of days on Earth are going to get longer and longer as time goes on.Thanks to the ever-evolving amount of research, scientists are now able to predict how life on Earth might change. Due to factors like climate change, experts believe there is a chance we are heading for a “triple whammy” extinction event within the next 250 million years.But before that happens, experts have predicted Earth's days are going to become longer and longer due to changes in the planet’s rotation.It’s a well-known fact that every 24 hours, the Earth does one full rotation...

NASA reports 100-foot asteroid zooming toward Earth at astounding speed

In these modern times, we often take the stability of our world for granted. However, an academic revelation suggests we are in the midst of a change so drastic that it feels as if the very ground beneath our feet is shifting. Well, at least the ground 3,220 miles beneath our feet, in Earth’s inner core.

New photos from the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter give us our best look yet at a giant ravine on the Red Planet. The dark "scar" was likely birthed by a gigantic blob of magma hidden beneath a massive nearby volcano millions of years ago.

An asteroid around the size of the Washington Monument is set to flash by Earth this month. The so-named 2024 MK asteroid will come even closer than the orbit of the moon on June 29 and is estimated to be around 394 to 885 feet in diameter. The asteroid could pass some 50,000 miles closer than the moon, according to NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies.

The rotation of the solid iron ball that comprises the Earth‘s inner core has slowed to the point that scientists think it’s spinning in a different rotation. Knewz.com has learned that since seismologists are unable to directly sample it they have arrived at their conclusions by observing the changing patterns of large earthquakes. The Earth’s […]

NASA was reporting late Friday that an asteroid the size of an airplane traveling at an incomprehensible speed is headed Earth's direction, though it is unlikely to make contact, scientists said. The asteroid, named 2024 NB2, will get as close as 2,390,000 miles from Earth as it passes through the...

(The Center Square) Volcanoes in Iceland that are about 70 million years old may still be erupting years from now, researchers from the University of Oregon concluded.
                Volcanoes on the country's Reykjanes Peninsula threaten the densely populated country. Local authorities declared a state of emergency in response to the eight series of volcanic eruptions that have happened since 2021, as 70% of the country lives in the southwest region. Plus, the region is home to the country's lone airport and many of its geothermal power...
