Jacob Haqq-Misra and Eric Wolf, researchers with the charity Blue Marble Space, argue in their recently published paper that Earth could stay green for nearly 1.9 billion years or more, depending on how the future plays out.

One picture taken every day of the year starting September 2023 through to September 2024 provides a pretty fascinating perspective of the twilight zone transit due to the Earth's 23.5-degree axial tilt as it orbits around the Sun.

The unique perspective just a few astronauts have ever seen of Earth from outer space, and the way in which it impacts them, is known as the Overview Effect. Now, specially built theaters and a new film will bring the same experience to the masses.

The upcoming aurora season is set to be particularly beautiful. To inspire people to get out and point their cameras skywards, Capture the Atlas has released a new batch of stunning shots for its Northern Lights Photographer of the Year collection.

Science stands still for no one, and with a new year comes a new calendar of exciting events in spaceflight and exploration. New Atlas rounds up some of the most important milestones to look forward to in 2020.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)​ has released the first batch of images taken by the GOES-16 satellite, including a breath-taking image of Earth's full disk.

Most common world maps are highly size distorted, with anything toward the poles tending to look much bigger than it really is. Which, in some ways, makes this weird-looking projection a lot more accurate. How it's made is a fascinating process – now, what is it actually useful for?

​Earthrace has been criss-crossing the globe in search of illegal fishing and hunting operations since 2006. Now, the team is trying to create a new trimaran capable of assisting law enforcement on long-range, open-water missions.

If it could work with asteroids, why not the Earth? That's the thinking behind space mining company Planetary Resources' plan to adapt its asteroid prospecting satellite design to Earth observation.

NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) has returned a breathtaking image of planet Earth from a distance of roughly one million miles from the homeworld.

The wn-2 watch emulates the rotation of the Earth and a view from space.

MIT students have launched probably the cheapest off-the-shelf photographic mission ever, capturing photos of the earth from space for next to nothing
