New research suggests the violent explosions of dying stars may have caused two of Earth’s biggest mass extinctions millions ...

What is the Ozone Layer? The ozone layer is a crucial component of Earth's stratosphere, located between 19 and 30 km above ...

The Antarctic ozone layer is currently healing, as a result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances.

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the 'devastating' effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests. Researchers say these super-powerful blasts ...

As part of this, the research team calculated the supernova rate within 20 parsecs of the Sun, or approximately 65 ...

The rate of stars going supernova near Earth appears to match two mass extinctions -- 372 million years ago and 445 million ...

Scientists from Keele University have found strong evidence that some of Earth’s past mass extinctions could have been caused by nearby supernova explosions—massive star explosions in the Milky Way.

March 22 marks the 40th anniversary of the Vienna Convention for the protection of the ozone layer. This international agreement laid the foundation for the global protection of the stratospheric ...
