Parts of ancient Earth may have formed continents and recycled crust through subduction far earlier than previously thought.

Life on Earth may exist thanks to an incredible stroke of luck — a chemical sweet spot that most planets miss during their formation but ours managed to hit.

A distant star system with four super-sized gas giants has revealed a surprise. Thanks to JWST’s powerful vision, astronomers detected sulfur in their atmospheres — a chemical clue that they formed ...

The wonders of life on Earth are endless, but all that may never have come to pass were it not for the planet having the perfect amount of oxygen at birth.

The new plot twist is that in order to keep enough nitrogen and phosphorus near its surface, a planet has to start out with ...
