Geologists from the U.S. and China have discovered that the surface of Earth’s inner core is not solid, as previously thought, but rather soft and susceptible to deformation. These changes are driven by processes in the liquid outer core and mantle, which may explain fluctuations in the inner core’s rotation speed. Until now, there was […]
Following a powerful solar storm in May 2024, Earth temporarily developed two new radiation belts, in addition to the two already existing ones. This discovery was made by the CIRBE satellite, which studies the planet’s magnetic field. The new belts formed in the space between the permanent radiation belts, located at altitudes of approximately 4,000 […
Scientists have discovered a unique ecosystem beneath the ice of Antarctica’s Enigma Lake, existing in complete isolation from the outside world. Research published in Communications Earth & Environment reveals that the lake is over 12 meters deep, while air temperatures in the region rarely rise above -14°C, dropping to -40.7°C during the coldest periods. These […
Researchers exploring King George Island via Google Earth have discovered a mysterious dark passage resembling the entrance to a cave. The object has sparked curiosity among internet users, leading to numerous theories about its origin. Some speculate that it could be an entrance to a secret base or laboratory, while others suggest it might be […]
Experts are warning of a potential powerful geomagnetic storm that could impact Earth in July 2025. This phenomenon is tied to the cyclical nature of solar activity, which peaks approximately every 11 years. Currently, we are nearing the height of the 25th solar cycle, known as the solar maximum, a period marked by particularly intense […]
More than three billion years ago, a giant asteroid the size of Mount Everest collided with Earth, causing catastrophic global changes. The impact triggered massive tsunamis, a heatwave in the atmosphere, halted photosynthesis, and blocked sunlight. Despite the destructive consequences for ecosystems, this event marked a turning point for life on the planet. Research shows […
