The natural world is constantly surprising us, and now new research has suggested that ’fountains of diamonds’ could be sent shooting up to the surface of the Earth as part of a major geological event.Supercontinents breaking up could send them spewing up from deep within the Earth’s core, according to research undertaken by Thomas Gernon, who is a professor of Earth and climate science at the University of Southampton.Diamonds are formed around 150 kilometres below our feet and sent firing upwards by kimberlite eruptions which can travel up to 133 kilometres per hour and create enormous explosions on the surface,...

Major explosion causes 'fountains of diamonds' to erupt from Earth's crust

Supplies of dissolved oxygen in bodies of water across the globe are dwindling rapidly, and scientists say it's one of the greatest risks to Earth's life support system. Just as atmospheric oxygen is vital for animals like ourselves, dissolved oxygen (DO) in water is essential for healthy aquatic ecosystems, whether freshwater or marine. With billions of people relying on marine and freshwater habitats for food and income, it's concerning these ecosystems' oxygen has been substantially and rapidly declining.

Earth's Water Is Rapidly Losing Oxygen, And The Danger Is Huge

An accidental scientific discovery made at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean could change the way we understand life on Earth. Researchers at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) have found oxygen-producing electric rocks 13,000 feet below the ocean's surface, challenging the long-held belief that photosynthetic organisms are the planet's only oxygen "manufacturers."

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.

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...

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 rover makes surprising discovery that hints at life on Mars

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...

Someone alert Elon Musk.

NASA’s Curiosity rover made a “mind-blowing” discovery on Mars — yellowish-green crystals of pure sulfur, never before seen on Earth’s mysterious red neighbor, according to scientists.

The literal ground-breaking find was made after the one-ton Curiosity drove over a pile of rocks and cracked one open while probing the deep and winding Gediz Vallis channel, believed to have been formed by water 3 billion years ago.

“I think it’s the strangest find of the whole mission and the most unexpected,” Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory [JPL] in Pasadena, California, told CNN. “I have to...

MERCURY might be hiding a miles-thick hoard of solid diamonds beneath its surface. Our solar system's innermost planet has puzzled scientists for decades. It has a weak magnetic field, just 1% the strength of Earth's. It has a massive core in relation to its puny size. And despite being the smallest planet in the solar system, it is the second densest.

	The Atacama Desert is a bit of an oxymoron.Calik Denim Talks Regenerative Cotton, Biodegradable Solutions at UN Meeting




	The driest desert in the world is home to the largest natural supply of sodium nitrate and has soil similar to that of Mars. A rare blossoming of flowers encouraged Chile to name the region its 44th natural park in 2022. The 15-million-year-old plateau is renowned for stargazing, considering its high altitude, near-constant clear skies and freedom from light pollution.

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover inadvertently crushed a rock while exploring a sulfates-rich area — and revealed a treasure of glinting, yellow crystals. And according to the space agency, it's unlike anything the rover has come across so far. Instead of sulfur-based minerals, which have been discovered several times already in the area, the cracked-open rock turned out to be pure, elemental sulfur.
