Extraordinary “Atlas Of The Underworld” Showcases Earth’s 94 Hidden Tectonic Plates

Earth’s tectonic plates make our world unique. Thanks to these colossal continental and oceanic islands floating atop a partly molten hellish mantle, we have oceans and mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes, and even an atmosphere. That’s why a team of Dutch scientists from Utrecht University has conjured up a new database containing everything you’d need to know about every single subduc

Pollution Kills An Astonishing Nine MILLION People Every Year

The whole trip took 12 days and we drove more than 3500km. We slept our nights mostly in a wind beaten tent that was definitely not suitable for winter camping in Norway. One windy night we found shelter from an abandoned camping site and g

Scientists Discover Another Earth!

NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope recently discovered an Earth-like planet orbiting a nearby star within the habitable zone of our galaxy. Kepler-186f is approximately 500 light-years from Earth in the Cygnus constellation. The habitable zone, also known as the Goldilocks zone, is the region around a star within which planetary-mass objects with sufficient atmospheric pressure can support liquid
