Earth From 900 Million Miles
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft captured the color images of Earth and the moon from its perch in the Saturn system nearly 900 million miles (1.5 billion kilometers) away. MESSENGER, the first probe to orbit Mercury, took a black-and-white image from a distance of 61 million miles (98 million kilometers) as part of a campaign to search […]
Global Warming Proof
by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies Ocean measurements taken more than 135 years ago during the scientific expedition of HMS Challenger have provided further confirmation of human-produced global warming over the past century. The researchers also found the thermal expansion of sea water caused by this global warming contributed to around 40 per […]

When the World Burned Less
More On Climate Change In the years after Columbus’ voyage, burning of New World forests and fields diminished significantly – a phenomenon some have attributed to decimation of native populations by European diseases. But a new University of Utah-led study suggests global cooling resulted in fewer fires because both preceded Columbus in many regions worldwide. […]

Global Extinction: Gradual Doom as Bad as Abrupt
At a time not so long ago, there was a vision… of a slow, painful demise. Now, so says the government: The deadliest mass extinction of all took a long time to kill 90 percent of Earth’s marine life–and it killed in stages–according to a newly published report. It shows that mass extinctions need not […]
