What magnetic fields can tell us about life on other planets?
Earth has a magnetic field – it’s what makes compasses align north-south and lets us navigate the oceans. It also protects the atmosphere, and...
Exoplanet stepping stones
Astronomers at the Caltech have obtained some of the best and the more robust data yet on the composition of a planet known as HR...
Astronomers discovered a famous exoplanet’s Doppelgänger
In a new discovery, astronomers have imaged another planet, and it shows up about identical to a standout amongst other studied gas-giant planets. However, this...
Scientists Produced Best Estimate of Earth’s Elemental Composition
The Solar System is emerged due to the collision between a molecular cloud of hydrogen gas and dust under its own gravity. Thus, it...
![This illustration shows the percentage of marine animals that went extinct at the end of the Permian era by latitude, from the model (black line) and from the fossil record (blue dots). A greater percentage of marine animals survived in the tropics than at the poles. The color of the water shows the temperature change, with red being most severe warming and yellow less warming. At the top is the supercontinent Pangaea, with massive volcanic eruptions emitting carbon dioxide. The images below the line represent some of the 96 percent of marine species that died during the event.
