Thanks to one of the most precise simulations that have been made of the formation process of the planets in our Solar System, the mystery surrounding the formation of our satellite, the Moon, has been revealed. How was it really formed?

A team of geophysicists coordinated by Andrew Glikson, an expert in paleoclimate and Earth Sciences at the Faculty of Archeology and Anthropology at the Australian National University, has found in the center of the island the trail left by a large asteroid that hit Earth. hundreds of millions of years ago.

The atlas of the world has a freckle. Specifically, the new landmass is located 45 kilometers from Nuku'alofa, the capital of Tonga, an island country of Polynesia.

Do not miss these curious images of our planet, and outside of it, where nature fortuitously represents the universal symbol of love.

Thanks to a new technique for reading seismic waves, a team of geologists from the universities of Illinois (USA) and Nanjing (China) has discovered that there is a second core within the core of the Earth. The finding has been published in the journal Nature Geosciences.

An asteroid of a considerable size, since it is estimated to be half a kilometer in diameter, will pass quite close to Earth on January 26. In fact, it is the first space rock of this size to come closest to our planet since it has been recorded. The asteroid has been christened 2004 BL86 and will pass three times the distance from Earth to the Moon. It will be a unique event that will not be repeated for at least 200 years.

We show you the best images of the planet seen from outside our atmosphere. At night, cloudy, at dawn ... do not miss the fantastic snapshots that astronauts take and show us who are fortunate enough to view our world from an absolutely enviable perspective.

As if it were the Star Trek movie saga, a team of scientists from the University of Colorado (USA) has discovered an invisible shield located about 11,500 kilometers above the Earth and whose function is none other than to block the so-called “electrons killers ”, particles that circulate at high speed around our planet and that pose a serious threat to both satellites, space systems or astronauts. The finding has been published in the journal Nature.
