Before reentering our atmosphere, the telescopes onboard NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have been restarted to take their last observations.

Under 1 million years old, “Elias 2-24b” is now the youngest exoplanet ever observed, and it may force researchers to reevaluate theories about how planets are formed.

No, it’s not aliens, but a phenomenon caused by magnetic activity that astronomers have never before been able to pin on a specific planet.

A global network of detectors are reporting some of the most substantial measurements yet of neutrinos created deep underground by the radioactive elements that power our planet’s tectonic activity.

The data drop includes photographs, audio, video, and astronauts’ notes that will be used to study the moon and prepare for future human missions.

A competition between the gravity of the inner core and other forces in the mantle is altering the Earth’s rotation.

“There’s no reason we can’t think that, at some point in the future, we can have volcano forecasts that are like weather forecasts.”

Scientists left structures up to 100 meters under the surface. Here’s what they found when they retrieved them 10 years later.

Scientists have found a new form of pollution, one where plastic and pieces of coral become irreversibly intertwined.

WIRED has partnered with Neal Agarwal of Neal.fun to create a visualization of Elon Musk’s massive wealth. Here’s how it came together.
