Scientist have concluded water did not arrive as early during Earth's formation as previously thought, an insight that bears directly on the question of when life originated on the planet. The finding ...

Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study found that oxygen-17 isotopes on the moon closely ...

"If this were the case, Theia would be part of Earth's core today, and the moon would have formed from ejected material from Earth's mantle. This would explain the similarity in the composition of ...

While the composition of gas and dust in a molecular cloud is fairly uniform, everything changes once a star begins to form.

Researchers have unveiled new findings that reshape our understanding of the Moon's formation and Earth's early hydration.

The findings provide the strongest evidence yet that asteroids may have planted the seeds of life on Earth and that these ...

New measurements suggest mysterious continent-sized masses in our planet’s lower mantle may be extremely stable features ...
