This map shows where Earth’s nighttime lights have increased (in blue) and dimmed (in pink) between 2012 and 2016 based on data from NASA’s Suomi-NPP satellite.

The mission's primary objective is to separate Earth's geomagnetic field from the magnetic field induced in the uppermost magnetosphere by the Sun's charged particles. “One man’s signal is ...

China last month donated to the United Nations the first open-access, high-resolution map of Earth's land cover, as a contribution towards global sustainable development and combating climate ...

Filling a 500 million year gap in Earth's history: Tectonic plate map shows what our planet looked like 1 BILLION years ago. Movement of tectonic plates underpins the positions of continents and ...

A California paleontologist has created an interactive map that allows people to see how far their hometowns have moved over 750 million years of continental drift.

Ever since we discovered Earth was round, mapmakers have struggled to create a map that accurately shows our planet in 2D. Most notably, Africa always ends up appearing far smaller than it ...

For every UK area, the Met Office issues a UV level from one (low) to 11 (extreme). On Wednesday, July 2, the Met Office has ...

These 14 objects identified to create an Earth-finding map are indeed pulsars, and so the plan seemed like a good one. But since the late 1970s, ...

These two "pancakes" represent the most accurate flat map of Earth ever made, the study researchers said. Unlike other flat maps, the new circular map doesn't downsize or supersize the area of ...

The new Earth gravity map, which was unveiled in late March, is the most accurate model of gravity fluctuations around the world. It was recorded by the European Space Agency's GOCE satellite.
