Two black holes merged into one, and then sped off at around 5 million kilometers (3.1 million miles) per hour.
An atmosphere is an envelope of gas around a planet, dwarf planet or moon.
Scientists hope that capturing carbon dioxide this way will limit both further warming of our planet and an escalation of extreme weather events.
Such mountain sway data can help planners map high-risk zones for peaks, bridges or any large structures.
Groundwater provides drinking water to billions of people and is used to water crops worldwide.
Tornadoes are often spawned by thunderstorms — but can also emerge from hurricanes and wildfires.
The ice shelf that had kept it in place could fail within five years. That would speed the glacier’s slip into the ocean, boosting a rise in sea levels.
Smoke drifts. Fish eggs float downstream. Where such drifting things end up may seem a mystery. But research can predict where they’ll end up.
