Earth’s Magnetic Field ‘Preserved Habitability’ at Two Key Points in Planet’s History

Earth’s magnetic field preserved the planet’s habitability at two key points in its history, scientists have said.

Dark Matter: Is It Right In Front Of Us?

Dark Matter. We know, pretty simply, how stars work. We know how much light they give off, and that’s very closely related to their mass. Brighter stars are more massive; dimmer stars are less so.
