'Earth Anthem' penned by Indian diplomat garners global support

A new study led by Professor Gemma Harvey from Queen Mary University of London has revealed how hundreds of species shape the landscapes we depend on, from termite mounds visible from space to beavers creating wetlands and hippos carving drainage systems.

The majority of known asteroids orbit inside the main asteroid belt, which is positioned between Mars and Jupiter at an average distance of around 250 million km from Earth. Since the discovery of the first asteroid in 1801, about 750.000 asteroids have been identified, primarily in the last decade thanks to several optical surveys that examine the sky on clear nights.

A newly developed timeline of early animal fossils suggests a relationship between sea level fluctuations, variations in marine oxygen, and the appearance of the earliest ancestors of present-day animals.

Osteoporosis, a disorder characterised by porous and weak bones, is a major hazard to skeletal health. As the foundation of the human body, bones provide critical structural support. When bone mass decreases, it not only weakens this support but also lowers general function, resulting in a lower quality of life.

A total solar eclipse is slated to take place today when the Moon will pass between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking out the Sun's light.

Coronary heart disease is a serious global health concern, particularly among those with type 2 diabetes.

Since 1975, the number of obese people has nearly tripled, creating a global epidemic. While lifestyle variables such as nutrition and exercise contribute to the development and progression of obesity, scientists have shown that obesity is also linked to intrinsic metabolic abnormalities.

Global warming is causing sea levels to rise, which is altering ecosystems. Scientists assumed that the tidal wetlands present in estuaries could create less methane, a strong greenhouse gas because the increased influx of seawater renders these habitats less hospitable to methane-producing microorganisms.

Bacterial infections are responsible for millions of deaths each year, with the global threat made severe by the increasing resistance of microbes to antibiotic treatments

A team of scientists led by a Tulane University oceanographer discovered that deposits deep beneath the ocean floor provide a means to estimate ocean oxygen levels and their relationship to carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere during the last ice age, which ended more than 11,000 years ago.
