NASA spokesperson Lauren Low told PolitiFact that one of the reasons Earth appears duller is because the new photo was taken at night, with only moonlight lighting the planet. The 1972 photo was taken in direct sunlight. The two images were also processed differently, she said.

A new Earthset image has been captured by the crew of Artemis II, 58 years since the iconic Earthrise photograph taken by the crew of Apollo 8. Over these past six decades, the climate has changed dramatically.

Ecologists describe the ability of an environment to sustain a species' population as its "carrying capacity". It's an estimate of the number of individuals from any given species that can survive long-term, based on the resources at hand and the rate at which those resources regenerate.

The Artemis II crew has taken some awe-inspiring images of Earth and the Moon during its trip into deep space, and some of them have left us truly speechless. Comments online echo our feelings, but some have caught our attention for a different reason.

The Artemis II mission is a gender-balanced and Earth-centered mission, but its main claim to fame is taking it just a few hundred miles further than Apollo 13, and getting no closer than 4000 miles to the moon,

For years, planetary scientists have argued that some of the material that built Earth must have drifted in from beyond Jupiter, carrying water and other volatile ingredients with it. Estimates often put that outer Solar System share somewhere between 6 percent and 40 percent.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft reveals Jupiter’s superstorms generate intense lightning, forming a powerful and complex electrical weather system.

Earth may have won a cosmic chemistry lottery. Researchers found that during the planet’s earliest formation, oxygen had to be in an extremely narrow “Goldilocks zone” for two life-essential elements,

Part of Artemis II's mission includes collecting samples of ice from the moon that will be compared to Earth’s oceans.

Exoplanet WASP-189b has revealed a direct chemical link between stars and planets, giving scientists new insight into how worlds form.

What if the Earth were actually for sale? It sounds absurd, but we decided to take the idea at face value. If someone tried to put a price tag on Earth, what would that number even be based on? Land, oceans, ecosystems, raw materials, history, and human ...
