A new research studying the impact of climate change on our planet has revealed a shocking discovery – earth’s axis has tilted by 31.5 inches (nearly 80 centimetres). Researchers attribute this change to pumping of Earth’s groundwater by humans, which they say can not only change the planet’s rotation but also impact sea-level rise. The…
Like Saturn, Earth may have also had its ring system circling the planet 466 million years ago. These rings seem to have existed during the Ordovician Period when the Earth’s life forms and plate tectonics witnessed significant changes after a peak in meteorite strikes, a study published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters…
These findings have prompted concerns among scientists about the potential for societal collapse. The world’s top climate experts have warned that humanity’s future hangs in the balance as Earth’s vital signs have reached alarming record extremes. A 2023 report assessed 35 key indicators, with 25 showing worsening trends, including carbon dioxide levels and population growth,…
This finding sheds new light on Earth’s history In a groundbreaking discovery, experts have identified ancient remnants of a long-lost tectonic plate, dubbed Pontus, dating back an astonishing 120 million years. This finding sheds new light on Earth’s history and underscores the ongoing quest for knowledge about our planet. According to Indy100.comresearchers Suzanna van de…
American scientists have issued a warning that a big solar storm is going to hit the Earth, and it may affect electronic communications. What will be its impact on India? NDTV’s Science Editor Pallava Bagla travelled to high in the Ladakh where India observes the Sun, and spoke to Dr Annapurni Subramanian, Director of the…
Researchers harnessed the power of X-rays from a nuclear blast to vaporise the surface of a asteroid Asteroid collisions with Earth are surprisingly common, with NASA estimating 48.5 tonnes of meteoric material entering our atmosphere daily. Most burn up, producing shooting stars. Although devastating asteroid impacts are rare in Earth’s history, humanity has learned a…
Small asteroids like 2022 SW3 often pass near Earth. Officials at NASA confirmed today that a 120-foot asteroid, roughly the size of a small aeroplane, will make a close approach to Earth. But do not worry, as despite close proximity, the asteroid 2022 SW3 poses no threat. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory assured there was no…
Evidence suggests the existence of a ring around Earth, forming around 466 million years ago. The rings of Saturn are some of the most famous and spectacular objects in the Solar System. Earth may once have had something similar. In a paper published last week in Earth & Planetary Science Letters, my colleagues and I…
You may have heard that the earth vibrated for nine days in 2023 and the event puzzled scientists across the globe. If you want to know about it, then you are at the right place. In September 2023, a melting glacier in eastern Greenland triggered a massive landslide, leading to a 650-foot-high mega-tsunami. This occurred…
KOLKATA: A study led by a senior professor of IIT-Kharagpur, in collaboration with international researchers, has dismissed previous claims of a ‘severe ozone hole’ in the tropical stratosphere after analysing data of 42 years. The study, titled ‘No Severe Ozone Depletion in the Tropical Stratosphere in Recent Decades,’ reassures that there is no significant ozone…
