Water frozen in the depths of space has long been considered a shapeless, frozen fog. For decades, scientists believed it ...

"Space ice" contains tiny crystals and is not a completely disordered material like liquid water, as previously assumed, ...

Without human interference, Earth would likely be heading into an ice age within the next 11,000 years. But in our current anthropogenic climate era, the future is anything but certain. What This ...

The cool conditions which have allowed ice caps to form on Earth are rare events in the planet's history and require many complex processes working at once, according to new research. February 14 ...

Earth Earth wouldn’t have ice caps without eroding rocks and quiet volcanoes. Throughout Earth's history, ice caps have been very rare, but a model of the past 420 million years suggests an ...

In the end, the researchers not only discovered when every ice age occurred over the past 900,000 years, but they predict the Earth will have approximately 10,000 years until the next ice age, noting ...

"The prediction is that the next ice age will begin within the next 10,000 years," Barker, a professor of Earth science at Cardiff University in the U.K., told Live Science.

We’re living in a weird time on Earth: a period when our planet has ice. Amid persistent and frequent record heat, it may be surprising to hear that Earth is currently relatively cool — at ...

Earth’s major climate goal is too warm for the polar ice sheets, study says. If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice ...
