Our planet does not give up its age easily. Scientists studied the oldest rocks from our planet and solar system to figure out Earth's age.

Satellite data reveal that warmer Atlantic waters are intruding on Arctic sea ice. The warm waters are impeding sea ice regrowth in winter.

The world's biggest Iceberg - named A-76- cracked off of Antarctica in late May.

The complex interplay among many factors - African monsoons, ocean temperatures, wind shear, El Niño and La Niña – that go into predicting hurricane season.

New research shows that a small dinosaur called Shuvuuia deserti, which lived in the deserts of what's now Mongolia, had exceptional night vision and hearing, similar to modern day owls and other night predators.

Scientists have found a surprising modern-day symbiosis between 2 undersea animals, which had been gone from the fossil record for 270 million years.

We think of earthly life as evolving from the sea. But newly discovered microscopic "ball" fossils - found in ancient lake sediments in Scotland - suggest that evolution from single-celled to multicellular organisms might have occurred in lakes.

Climatologists at NOAA have released updated climate "normals." They explain what "normal" means, how our U.S. climate normals have changed, and how to best make sense of them.
