👉Astronomers have announced an exciting breakthrough: the discovery of a new Earth-sized planet about 40 light-years from our world. Nicknamed “New Earth,” this distant planet may have conditions similar to those on Earth, including the possibility of oceans, clouds, and a steady climate. The finding marks an important advance in the search for habitable planets beyond our solar system and strengthens hopes that life could exist elsewhere in the universe. What makes this planet especially intri

Our planet is getting warmer. Every year, NASA and NOAA calculate the average surface temperature around the globe. These annual temperature data make up the global temperature record – and it’s how scientists know that the planet is warming. Red spirals in this visualization indicate years with warmer-than-average temperatures. The visualization “turns red” after 1975, showing that most of Earth’s warming has occurred in the last several decades. Overall, the average global temperature on Earth
