Earth

The five planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn—will all be visible at once throughout the month of June in the same order as they orbit the sun.

Black holes are regions of spacetime where gravity is so extreme that nothing, not even light, can escape.

The June solstice marks the beginning of the Northern Hemisphere's summer in astronomical terms.

Photographers captured images of last night's full moon above the Manhattan skyline, the Hagia Sophia mosque, and the Mauna Loa volcano, among other locations.

In 2022, the Strawberry Moon, the traditional name for June's full moon, will turn full on June 14, appearing just after sunset.

As it zooms past our planet, the asteroid will be traveling at a staggering speed of almost 18,800 miles per hour.

The discovery indicates Earth's magnetic field is not set to flip anytime soon. If it did this, the North and South poles would swap places.

During a full moon, the side that faces towards our planet is fully illuminated, appearing like a perfect circle.

The Earth consists of four main layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core.

Space weather can interfere with life on Earth as well as technological infrastructure in space and on the ground.

Space weather can have an impact on our planet, interfering with life and our technological infrastructure. But can we predict it?

"Manhattanhenge" is a name coined by Neil deGrasse Tyson for the days of the year when the sunset is perfectly aligned with the street grid of Manhattan.

While the Earth's magnetic field largely protects us from radiation and charged particles from the sun, space weather phenomena can impact our planet.

The asteroid—known as 7335 (1989 JA)—will come as close as 2.5 million miles to the Earth while traveling at 47,200 miles per hour.

"I had a chance to speak to someone that wasn't on Earth and screwed it up," wrote the Redditor when explaining the story.

The asteroid is one of more than 29,000 near-Earth objects, or NEOs, that scientists have been discovered to date.

The asteroid is scheduled to make its close approach on May 27, when it will come within around 2.5 million miles of the Earth.

The Earth will pass between the sun and the moon this weekend, casting a red shadow over the full moon.

In a new documentary, paleontologists find that animals experienced a "wall of death" caused by a water surge after the asteroid hit, as "hell" rained down.

The upcoming total lunar eclipse will be visible across most of the Americas, in addition to parts of Europe and Africa.

Observers in the United States will be among the best placed to view the upcoming total lunar eclipse, which takes place over the night on May 15-16.

The Eta Aquariids meteor shower is caused by debris left behind by the famous Halley's Comet entering and burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.

The flare erupted from the sun on Wednesday night, and scientists are working to determine if a coronal mass ejection (CME) is headed towards us as a result.

The flights, at a cost of $125,000, are expected to begin in late 2024 and are fully booked until 2025.

This year, the April full moon is also the Paschal Full Moon, which is used to determine the date of Easter.

If the upper estimate of the asteroid's size is true, the space rock would be almost double the height of the Empire State Building or nearly the same height as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

Scientists say about 4.4lbs of helium-3 escapes from Earth's interior every year.

The asteroid is thought to measure about 656 feet across, which would make it taller than the Space Needle in Seattle.
