A new study reveals that Earth's biomes changed dramatically in the wake of mass volcanic eruptions 252 million years ago.
Specifically, the findings support the hypothesis that supernovae could have triggered two of the so-called "big five" mass ...
About 252 million years ago, 80 to 90 percent of life on Earth was wiped out. In the Turpan-Hami Basin, life persisted and ...
Some scientists have now branded the “Great Dying” as a “crisis on land, not an extinction” after new fossil discoveries led ...
At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the "devastating" effects of nearby supernova ...
Some of the most massive and influential stars in the universe are OB stars. These blue giants, many times more massive than ...
Scientists have found a rare life "oasis" where plants and animals thrived during Earth's deadliest mass extinction 252 ...
