There are a whole host of issues that are coming along with the melting ice caps. That said, “slowing the planet’s rotation” was not on my bingo card. Duncan Agnew, a geophysicist and professor at University of California, analyzed data from satellite imagery and concluded that not only is the ice melt slowing Earth’s rotation, …

We’ve seen study after study prove that microplastics are absolutely everywhere, from the air we breath to the amniotic fluid we float in before we’re born. No one figures they’re particularly good for us, but there haven’t been many (or any) studies that prove exactly what negative impacts they’re having. On the other hand, toxic …

We’re basically living a science fiction movie 24/7 these days. Sometimes we’re winning, sometimes we’re losing, but no matter what, our technology is neat enough to make it look good. The footage of this space capsule falling through the Earth’s atmosphere comes courtesy of space startup Varda Space Industries. It’s moving at around 25 times …

Roughly half of earth’s land has minimal human impact. A compilation of four methods for mapping human impact reveals in detail where humanity’s influence on the natural world is considered to be low.
Paratethys was the largest lake in Earth’s history. The world’s largest lake formed 12 million years ago and then disappeared, giving rise to the Caspian and Black Seas.
Everything old is new again – which, it turns out, is true even for the entire planet that we call home. In this case it might take 36 million years, but when it happens, marine ecosystems all over the globe are rejuvenated by massive surges in biodiversity. The cycle is triggered, scientists say, by geological …

Visualising Earth’s mean temperature – How close are you to our Planet’s average temperature?
The better technology gets, the more we’re able to learn about this planet we call home. While some of those things are downright frightening, others – like this one – tend more toward the fascinating end of the scale. Researchers hav discovered that the innermost layer of Earth’s inner core is a 400-mile-wide solid metal …

Earth’s magnetic field by u/KyleHofmann Fun fact, Earth’s magnetic field changes all the time. There’s even a planetary K index that’s updated every 3 hours which is used to quantify this. The current index: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/planetary-k-index
