Asteroids Impact On Earth
WASHINGTON — Research by NASA and international scientists concludes giant asteroids, similar or larger than the one believed to have killed the dinosaurs, hit Earth billions of years ago with more frequency than previously thought. To cause the dinosaur extinction, the killer asteroid that impacted Earth 65 million years ago would have been almost 6 […]

Antarctica Ice Loss
Warm Ocean Currents Cause Majority of Ice Loss from Antarctica WASHINGTON, DC (USA) — Warm ocean currents attacking the underside of ice shelves are the dominant cause of recent ice loss from Antarctica, a new study using measurements from NASA’s Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) revealed. An international team of scientists used a […]
