Large structures were detected as anomalies in seismic waves processed by an algorithm

Worried about the magnetic North Pole sprinting towards Russia? Don't be, boffins say, it'll be back sooner or later

Satellite data shows two huge iron blobs tussling under the surface

Russia admits, yup, the Americans are right: One of our rocket's tanks just disintegrated in Earth's orbit

Good luck fishing all that out of the sky

Quick Q: Er, why is the Moon emitting carbon? And does this mean it wasn't formed from Theia hitting Earth?

Decades-old theory may require a rethink thanks to Japanese probe

Kepler telescope is dead but the data lives on: Earth-sized habitable zone planet found after boffins check for errors

300 light years away but hey, why not?

Academic showdown as boffins biff-baff over when Version 1.0 of Earth's magnetic core was released

'They have not reported an objective analysis' – now that's a zinger

Finally, that cruel dust world Mars proves useful: Helping scientists understand Earth's radio-scrambling plasma

Red Planet's sporadic E layers shed light on our world's interference

Boffins find proof that yes, Carl Sagan and Joni Mitchell were right, we really are all made up of star stuff

Sprinkles from extrasolar red giants found here on Earth

Boffins believe it was volcanoes, not just life, that made Earth what it is today – oxygen rich

Photosynthesis alone ain't going to cut it as an explanation

Your FREE end-of-the-world guide: What happens when a sun like ours runs out of fuel

On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

Guess what shrinks when it gets cold and then you shake it around a little? The Moon. We're talking about the Moon

What did you think we meant?
