Although it makes up 70 per cent of our planet's surface, scientists still don't all agree on where Earth's water actually ...

The early universe, fresh from the Big Bang, was a hot, dense soup of simple elements: hydrogen, helium, and trace amounts of lithium. But within a cosmic blink—just 100 to 200 million years after the ...

A new study in Nature Astronomy found that water came into being in the universe earlier than researchers in the field thought to be possible. In fact, study authors believe that water might have been ...

Katy is Managing Editor at IFLScience where she oversees editorial content from News articles to Features, and even occasionally writes some. A team of astrophysicists running numerical simulations ...

Without water, life on Earth could not exist as it does today. Understanding the history of water in the universe is critical to understanding how planets like Earth come to be. Astronomers typically ...

When did life as we know it first emerge in the universe? We don’t know for sure, but the answer is inextricably linked to the moment when water first materialized in the cosmos — and new simulations ...

If you’re a scientist studying the surface of Mars, few discoveries could be more exciting than seeing recent gullies apparently formed by running water. And that’s what scientists believed they saw ...

It’s one of those scientific questions that’s so simple, so fundamental, it’s hard to believe we didn’t have an answer—until now: What does water look like when it’s forming? From oceans to puddles, ...

You might assume that there has always been water on Earth — that water was there from the very beginning when our planet formed. But scientists increasingly think that water on Earth may have ...

Water solidifies into ice when the temperature drops below the freezing point, and turn into vapor gas at 100 Celsius. However, according to the latest findings by researchers at the University of ...

The question of where Earth's large amount of water came from may find its answer by looking to the Moon. According to research by planetologists at the University of Münster, a collision with a ...
