Researchers modelling the long-term effects of engineered aerosol warming on Mars found that every 20 degrees of global warming increased…
A water-cycle simulation of aerosol-warmed Mars found tenfold vapour increases per 20 kelvin, with clouds warming nights, cooling winter days and preserving effects after shut-off.
Early Earth
About 5.33 million years ago, Atlantic water reconnected with a severely depleted Mediterranean
A 100-million-cubic-metre-per-second Zanclean flood is a modelled explanation for buried erosion, but the Mediterranean's starting depth and refill sequence remain contested.

About Space Daily
Space, science, and the human side of the frontier. Since 1995.
Space Daily is an independent publication covering three connected beats: the space industry, the science behind it, and the psychology of ambition, isolation, and meaning under extremes. Founded in Tokyo in 1995, we’ve built a thirty-year archive of rigorous reporting on the people, missions, and ideas pushing humanity outward — and on the human dynamics shaped by frontier life. The same ambitions, pressures, and patterns of mind that drive humanity to the stars also shape how we live on Earth. We employ modern AI technologies to support our editorial workflows; every published piece is editorially directed and reviewed.
