Pine Island Glacier is one of the fastest-retreating glaciers in Antarctica. Watch the glacier’s ice front retreat and shed some notable icebergs over the past 2 decades.

Physicists at MIT analyzed data from earlier experiments in particle accelerators, in order to probe the workings of the strong nuclear force that operates inside atoms. Their work sheds light on this force - one of the 4 fundamental forces of nature - and also illuminates the structure of a neutron star’s core.

Bird-banding data in North America shows a spring migration pattern that's become progressively earlier with each of the last 5 decades, and a fall migration that's lasting longer than 50 years ago.

Isn't this cool? Scientists at the famous Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico made this rare find just days after resuming post-earthquake operations. It's a moon orbiting the near-Earth asteroid 2020 BX12.

The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope is in northern Chile. Astronomers used it to capture the unprecedented dimming of Betelgeuse, a red supergiant star in the constellation of Orion. The new images show how the apparent shape of this star is changing.

Human beings altered one of the highest peaks in the Himalayas hundreds of years before a person ever set foot there, new research has found.

Every February 2, a weather-prognosticating groundhog in Pennsylvania tells us if we should expect 6 more weeks of winter or an early spring. Should we believe him? Phil's track record here.

Byrd received the prize from the American Astronomical Society, the largest organization of U.S. astronomers. The prizes are given for outstanding achievements in scientific research, education, scholarly writing, and service to the astronomical community.

According to the UK's Met Office, each decade from the 1980s has been successively warmer than all the decades that came before. 2019 concludes the warmest ‘cardinal’ decade (those spanning years ending 0-9) in records that stretch back to the mid-19th century.
