What can craters on Mars teach scientists about the Red Planet’s climate history? This is what a recent study published in Geology hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated ice buildup ...

ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft has provided evidence for a daily water-ice cycle on and near the surface of comets. Comets are celestial bodies comprising a mixture of dust and ices, which they periodically ...

At the end of Taylor Glacier in Antarctica, a hypersaline brine known as “Blood Falls” flows onto the surface. The red color is from iron oxide. Mineral deposits formed in the past from such fluids ...

Approximately 700,000 years ago, a 'warm ice age' permanently changed the climate cycles on Earth. During this exceptionally warm and moist period, the polar glaciers greatly expanded. A research team ...

Earth's climate has swung between ice ages and warmer periods for millions of years, driven by subtle changes in our planet's ...

Nearly 10,000 years ago, Earth came out of its most recent ice age. Vast, icy swaths of land around the poles thawed, melting the glaciers that had covered them for nearly 100,000 years. Why, after ...

A traditional ice cube tray can technically do the job, but it requires patience. An automatic ice maker, on the other hand, can make uniform ice cubes fast, leaving you with several pounds of ice by ...
