Ancient Greeks made countless astronomical discoveries, including Eratosthenes' calculation of the Earth's circumference and its shape.

A recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that by pumping and relocating water from underground sources, humans have caused a significant shift in the Earth's orientation. Between the years 1993 and 2010, this activity led to a noteworthy...

While civilized society was just learning to use the wheel on earth, ancient Greeks were aiming at celestial space and the stars.

Earth is set to receive its first "alien" message from Mars on Wednesday in a project called "A Sign in Space". The idea is to prepare scientists for the "profoundly transformational experience for all humankind' if otherworldly beings actually contact...

A recent study reveals that lightning behaves similarly on Jupiter as it does on Earth. NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft discovered lightning on Jupiter more than 40 years ago. These electrical discharges, known as Jovian lightning, occur just as frequently on...
