Scientists who work on long-term climate patterns usually stay close to Earth. The data is here, the records are clearer, and ...

At half the size of Earth and one-tenth its mass, Mars is a featherweight as far as planets go. Yet new research reveals the ...

Climate can change fast, even when the planet looks stable. Earth has flipped into new patterns within decades in the past.

"Without Mars, Earth's orbit would be missing major climate cycles. What would humans and other animals even look like if Mars weren't there?" ...

Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.

New simulations show Mars plays a key role in shaping Earth’s long-term climate by influencing its orbit and axial tilt over hundreds of thousands to millions of years.

Floods and droughts across the globe are moving in sync, and a powerful Pacific climate cycle is pulling the strings.

Researchers discovered Mars subtly affects Earth’s orbit and axial tilt. These small changes help trigger ice ages and ...

Researchers uncover how Mars affects Earth’s orbit, offering new insight into the planetary forces behind ice ages.

Earth’s slow axial wobbles—known as precession cycles—do not just shape long-term climate trends. A new study led by ...

Today, science can narrow down potential oil reserves with surprising accuracy — especially when it comes to shale oil, found ...
