Researchers have detected 85 previously unknown lakes underneath Antarctic glaciers, a development they fear could lead to more ice slipping into the ocean and causing global sea levels to rise even more quickly. What’s happening? These lakes lie many miles below the ice that surrounds the South Pole, Live Science reported. This discovery increases the amount of known subglacial lakes …

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has begun its decade-long survey to scan the entire night sky every three days. To do this, it uses the Simonyi Survey Telescope and the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) camera, the world’s largest digital camera. What is it? Together, the telescope and camera work to make this process as efficient as possible. …

Planet-heating methane is escaping from cracks in the Antarctic seabed as the region warms, with new seeps being discovered at an “astonishing rate,” scientists have found, raising fears that future global warming predictions may have been underestimated. Huge amounts of methane lie in reservoirs that have formed over millennia beneath the seafloor around the world. This invisible, climate-polluting gas can …

A new study used earthquake waves to peer under the Cascade Range, revealing persistent pockets of magma beneath several quiet peaks. These pockets are not full lakes of magma, but zones of partial melt where hot rock contains some liquid. Using distant, or teleseismic, earthquakes and a method called receiver functions, researchers mapped low seismic velocity zones about 3 to …

Recent research, including studies published by Heriot-Watt University and a ScienceDirect report, has uncovered colossal structures buried deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean, shedding new light on the birth of this massive water body. This discovery not only confirms earlier theories about the separation of South America and Africa but also suggests the Atlantic may have begun forming earlier than previously …

scientists have unveiled a colossal underwater crater beneath Chesapeake Bay, three times the size of the Grand Canyon. Formed by an asteroid strike 35 million years ago, this discovery reshapes our understanding of catastrophic events in Earth’s history. It echoes findings from a recent Meteorite & Planetary Science study, which explores how such impacts have dramatically influenced Earth’s climate and …

NASA sounds the alarm: a massive anomaly is spreading across Earth. Scientists believe it is linked to deep forces beneath the Earth’s crust.  Evidence Network Source link

In a groundbreaking discovery, a new species of mollusk, Bathylepeta wadatsumi, was uncovered deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. Situated 19,430 feet (nearly 6 kilometers) below the ocean surface near Japan, this limpet species pushes the boundaries of deep-sea biology. The full study, published in Zoosystematics and Evolution, provides further insights into the species’ anatomy, genetic makeup, and the importance of …

In 2007, something strange happened over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. According to satellites orbiting Earth, our planet’s gravity field developed a continent-scale anomaly before subsiding to its original state. The odd event, undetectable to humans on the surface, has only just been discovered in data collected by gravity-monitoring satellites – and the cause was a tremendous redistribution of mass far …
