A team of scientists led by Australian Museum and UNSW Sydney palaeontologist, Dr Matthew McCurry, have described a new ...

At first glance, the night sky appears still. But in reality, everything moves, our Solar System being no exception. As it ...

Our Solar System is in motion and cruises at about 200 kilometres per second relative to the center of the Milky Way.

Earth may have cooled during a close encounter with dense star clouds. Interstellar dust from the Orion region might have shaped our ancient climate.

But that was then. "We are currently not in the best case scenario, but also not the worst case scenario, we’re sort of on a middle trajectory, and that is what the Miocene best represents." ...

Millions of years ago, our Solar System traveled through a densely populated galactic region and was exposed to increased interstellar dust.

This timeframe aligns well with the Middle Miocene Climate Transition, a significant shift from a warm variable climate to a cooler climate, leading to the establishment of a continental-scale ...

“And as we are currently not in the best case scenario, but also not the worst case scenario, we’re sort of on a middle trajectory, and that is what the Miocene best represents,” Reichgelt sai ...

This ecosystem was significantly different from the present, as Earth was experiencing the Middle Miocene Climate Optimum, a period characterized by higher temperatures and greater forest coverage.
