A timeline of the distant, disturbing future
If humans still exist millions or billions of years from now, they’ll have to deal with supervolcanoes, supernovas and other civilization-threatening calamities.

By Charles Q. Choi | Live Science Earthquakes can permanently crack the Earth, an investigation of quakes that have rocked Chile over the past million years suggests. Although earthquakes can wreak havoc on the planet’s surface, more than a century of research has suggested the Earth actually mostly rebounds after quakes, with blocks of the world’s [...]

By Elizabeth Howell | Live Science Earth’s internal engine is running about 1,000 degrees Celsius (about 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit) hotter than previously measured, providing a better explanation for how the planet generates a magnetic field, a new study has found. A team of scientists has measured the melting point of iron at high precision in [...]

By Mark Hoffman | Science World Report Because oceanic crust sinks at certain points deep into Earth’s mantle, scientists have long assumed that lava erupting from some oceanic volcanoes should contain materials from the early Earth’s crust. But any prove of this phenomenon was missing — until now. New research from a team including Carnegie’s Erik [...]

By Jack Phillips | The Epoch Times The Lyrid meteor shower, which takes place every year in April, will peak on Sunday night and early Monday morning. However, as Space.com notes, the bright light of the moon will likely obfuscate the meteor shower’s full brilliance. For those in North America who want to see it, the [...]

By Klaus Schmidt | Space Fellowship As Earth moves around the sun, it travels surrounded by a giant bubble created by its own magnetic fields, called the magnetosphere. As the magnetosphere plows through space, it sets up a standing bow wave or bow shock, much like that in front of a moving ship. Just in front [...]

io9 Did you know that as our climate warms, we are actually returning to a more typical weather pattern for the Earth? That’s right — we are living in an ice age, which means the temperatures and ice caps we think of as “normal” are actually extreme aberrations in the history of our planet. Over [...]

ANI German scientists had seriously planned to build a “sun gun”, a big mirror in space which would focus the sun’s rays to a scorching point at the earth’s surface. The giant mirror could be used to focus the sun on a target, just like the magnifying glasses used by children to create fire. According [...]

By Martha Harbison | Australian PopSci Some 66 million years ago, a giant space object of some kind slammed into Earth right around the Yucatan peninsula. The resultant explosion sent debris high into the atmosphere; the dust resettled to earth newly enriched with the elements iridium and osmium – elements that are much more abundant in [...]
