For years, NASA has monitored a strange anomaly in Earth’s magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest Africa. This vast, developing phenomenon, called the South Atlantic Anomaly, has intrigued and concerned scientists for years, and perhaps none more so than NASA researchers. The space agency’s …

The Earth has been spinning unusually fast recently. Last year on July 4, our planet set a record by completing a full spin 1.66 milliseconds (0.00166 seconds) faster than usual, according to timeanddate.com. One year later, on July 10, 2025, Earth completed a daily rotation that scientists estimate was 1.36 milliseconds faster than usual, giving us another particularly short day. …

Scientists have made a startling discovery that may debunk global warming at Earth’s ‘most dangerous glacier,’ sending climate change deniers into celebration. Based on a surprising photo taken by the International Space Station (ISS) in 2023, researchers from around the world have concluded that three glaciers in Asia‘s Karakoram mountain range have been gaining ice and merging. The NASA image …

A remarkable image taken by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS) offers a breathtaking view of three glaciers merging into one massive ice mass in the Karakoram mountain range. These glaciers, located in one of Earth’s most remote and contested regions, are gaining ice volume despite the warming temperatures that are threatening glaciers worldwide. A Rare Glacial Phenomenon …

When time lost to shortened days begins to add up, timekeepers add an extra second to the running clock, bringing astronomical time back in sync with the atomic time it had lagged behind. This is called a leap second, and it’s been implemented about every year and a half since 1972—most people don’t notice that either. Will a faster-spinning Earth affect …

“The skies 41,000 years ago may have been both spectacular and threatening. When we realized this, we wanted to know whether this could have affected people living at the time,” the study authors said. How did the skies influence early human lifestyle? The study began with a simple but interesting question. What happens to life on Earth when the magnetic …
