Asteroids have always worried humanity.

Did life arise this way on Earth?

A team of scientists from the University of North Carolina (USA) has discovered new clues about the origin of life 4,000 million years ago thanks to a "primal genetic code" with specific enzymes, which could have given rise to complex life. The results of the study have been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The Nepal earthquake changed the shape of the Earth

On April 25, what has undoubtedly been the worst natural disaster in Nepal since 1934, has had a direct effect on the shape of the Earth. According to research by NASA's Earth Observatory, the earthquake measuring 7.9 degrees on the Richter scale has caused a fault located at the edges of the tectonic plates of India and Eurasia and 90x30 kilometers long, to have slipped up to six meters from its starting position.

What is the gravitational potato?

In this case we are not talking about a tuber, but about the three-dimensional reconstruction of the Earth by means of a new model that represents the variations of gravity.

The Nepal earthquake altered the Earth's atmosphere

A software developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena, California (USA) has discovered that the earthquake of magnitude 7.9 on the Richter scale that surprised and devastated Nepal on 25 April created waves of energy that penetrated the Earth's upper atmosphere, disrupting the distribution of electrons in the ionosphere or thermosphere, the area of the Earth's atmosphere permanently ionized due to photoionization of solar radiation.

They locate the three planets closest to the solar system

A team of astronomers from the University of Hawaii at Manoa (Hawaii), the University of California at Berkeley, the University of California and Tennessee State University (USA) has discovered a planetary system made up of three planets that it is only 54 light years distant from Earth. They would, therefore, be the three planets closest to ours.

Earth, more in danger than ever

There is growing evidence that our planet is melting.

An asteroid will pass close to Earth in 2017

An asteroid baptized as 2012 TC4 and that could measure between 12 and 40 meters in diameter, that is, a considerable size, will pass dangerously close to our planet on October 12, 2017. The conclusions of the observations made by the experts have been published in the magazine astrowatch.net.
