Tiny bits of Earth’s atmosphere have been drifting to the moon for billions of years, guided by Earth’s magnetic field.

A new study suggests lunar soil contains elements that solar wind transported to the moon from Earth’s atmosphere, solving a ...

Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

Scientists say Earth’s magnetic field may have funneled atmospheric particles to the moon for billions of years. Lunar soil could preserve a record of Earth’s past while providing resources for future ...

Lunar rocks are famously dry. They contain almost none of the volatile elements that easily escape into space, such as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and light noble gases. Yet those same elements appear ...

The process, which existed for billions of years, would eventually turn lunar soil into a long-running archive of Earth's ...

The solar wind flows around Earth's magnetic field. A new NASA study suggests that the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere and strength of the magnetic field have been correlated for more than half a ...

How do solar storms impact Earth? ISRO's Aditya-L1 mission finds major breakthroughs in space weather, from magnetic field ...

Two enormous, supercontinent-sized 'islands' buried deep within the mantle have been revealed to have fundamental differences—contrary to previous assumptions—and they may even lead to Earth's ...

External sources, such as the early solar wind or Earth’s magnetic field, were too weak or faded too early. Internal sources like a magma ocean or mantle-core precession might have helped, but ...

In the blink of an eye in geological time, Canada has lost one north pole but gained another, a new and different claim to be ...
