Canadians are sharing before and after images of Maligne Lodge at Jasper National Park in Alberta after wildfires engulfed the region.
Experts working in the Tomb of Cerberus in Naples unsealed a 2,000-year-old sarcophagus—and the mummy inside was shockingly well-preserved.
Trapped Gases NASA has released a new visualization that shows copious amounts of carbon dioxide swirling around the Earth's atmosphere. The video shows how concentrations of the gas move across the planet, driven by wind and atmospheric circulation, from January through March 2020. The level of detail is truly astonishing, allowing us to "zoom in […]
Mighty Likely NASA's Perseverance Rover has found a rock on Mars that scientists believe may contain signs of ancient life on the Red Planet. As the New York Times reports, NASA researchers aren't quite ready to declare that they've found definitive biosignatures — the scientific term for "signs of life" — in the piece of ancient […]
A B.C. cyclist is recovering after a run-in with a grizzly and two cubs that ended with the bear getting punched in the face. According to conservation officer Matthew Corbett, a man was riding his bike along a forested trail next to Anderson Flats Provincial Park in northwest B.C. when he surprised a female grizzly and her two cubs in a clearing. "The bear just immediately charged him, knocked him down," Corbett said. But the man put his bike between himself and the bear, which prevented him fr
The blazes are still out of control as firefighters try to save as many buildings as possible.
Pinpoint Stars In 2003, when the International Space Station was a mere three years old, NASA astronaut Donald Pettit took a gorgeous picture of the Earth's atmosphere, with countless stars frozen in time in the background. But as Pettit revealed in a Reddit post earlier this week, the same photo "cannot be taken anymore" — […]
Tuataras are one of the world’s oldest surviving species and lived on Earth before the dinosaurs.
Wood pellet production skyrocketed across the U.S. South to feed the European Union’s recent push for renewable energy but residents near manufacturing plants -- often those in poor, rural swaths -- believe the process is making people sick. (AP video by Stephen Smith)
Microbes living in tree bark are absorbing methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere on a massive scale, a study found.
GLOSTER, Miss. (AP) — This southern Mississippi town's expansive wood pellet plant was so close to Shelia Mae Dobbins' home that she sometimes heard company loudspeakers. She says industrial residues coated her truck and she no longer enjoys spending time in the air outdoors.
Several confirmed tornadoes hit Ontario and Quebec during severe thunderstorms on Wednesday
Communities in the U.S. West and Canada were under siege from raging wildfires on Friday, as a fast-moving blaze sparked by lightning sent people fleeing on fire-ringed roads in rural Idaho and a human-caused inferno forced the evacuation of hundreds of homes in northern California.
Spots found on a reddish Mars rock found by NASA's Perseverance rover have led scientists to believe the chemical reactions in the rock could have supported microbial life on the red planet billions of years ago.
The Saharan dust that tamped down tropical disturbances is settling. What could happen in August?
Freshwater blue-green algae blooms are a global phenomenon that can affect humans, pets, the environment and the economy. And as weather patterns shift, the blooms — which prefer warm, nutrient-rich water — are appearing in areas where they wouldn't commonly occur, according to one researcher.Though blooms typically show up in shallow bodies of water with temperatures above 20 C in areas of higher agricultural activity, blooms in colder and more nutrient-poor lakes have been observed more freque
Severe thunderstorm risk to hit Alberta as heat finally decreases in the province
In what some have dubbed an "internet apocalypse," activity originating on the sun's surface could cause a massive communications outage on Earth.
The Perseverance rover found a rock in a Martian river valley that could show evidence of tiny, microbial life on Mars.
Last week, NASA made a shocking announcement. It would not be sending its $450 million rover, called the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER), to the Moon, where its state of the art capabilities were anticipated to uncover secrets about water ice just beneath the lunar surface. The reason, according to NASA officials, is that […]
