According to a study in Nature Communications, an ancient earthquake, possibly magnitude 7.5 or 8, dramatically altered the course of the Ganga River 2,500 years ago, as evidenced by seismites near Dhaka, Bangladesh. According to new research, the Ganga River’s course was dramatically altered by a massive earthquake that struck
On May 24, China’s secret spaceplane, Shenlong, ejected a mysterious object into Earth’s orbit, prompting the US Space Force to track it down amid growing concerns about its purpose and implications. China’s top-secret spacecraft launched an enigmatic object approximately 372 miles above Earth into Earth’s orbit. The US Space Force

According to research published in the journal Nature by Professors Geoff Duller and Charles Bristow of Birkbeck University in London, Morocco’s Lala Lallia Sand dune dates back to 13,000 years. Despite their unusual formations, star or pyramid dunes can be found in Africa, Asia, North America, and even Mars. Until

The United Nations Population Division’s population figures were used by Visual Capitalists to imagine Earth with 1000 people. Over the past 50 years, the number of people on the planet has doubled. We will have 8 billion people on Earth by 2022. UN estimates state that by July 2023, there
A study conducted by researchers at Seoul National University has found that the Earth’s rotational pole has shifted due to the extraction of groundwater. Earth is, in many ways, a water world. Around two-thirds of its surface is covered in water, and the oceans that provide that cover make up
Researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) in Krakow, Poland, have found a link between surges of cosmic radiation from space and earthquakes on Earth. Scientists have identified a striking link between earthquakes and changes in the intensity of cosmic radiation measured
A study published in the journal Nature has revealed that water on Earth did not form on its own but was instead acquired from outer space. Scientists have made a surprising discovery that suggests the Earth might have formed more quickly than previously believed. It appears that tiny millimeter-sized pebbles
According to a study published in the journal Nature Geoscience, Earth once had just 19-hour-long days due to the presence of the Moon. Earth once had days that were only 19 hours long, a stark contrast to the current 24-hour cycle, which is the result of the planets rotation on
