Coastal cities around the world are sinking, satellite data show
Of 99 coastal cities studied, nearly one-third are sinking. This leaves coastal communities increasingly vulnerable to rising seas.

Tracking these subatomic particles can uncover surprising hidden structures.
Two black holes merged into one, and then sped off at around 5 million kilometers (3.1 million miles) per hour.
New observations from the Event Horizon Telescope reveal the chaotic region around the Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*, in extreme detail.
A new cache of confirmed exoplanet discoveries marks a milestone in planets found beyond our solar system.
Light from coastal cities and offshore development may shine deep enough to disrupt tiny critters living dozens of meters (yards) below the surface.
The Doppler effect is a perceived change in the frequency of light or sound waves due to the wave source moving relative to an observer.
Such mountain sway data can help planners map high-risk zones for peaks, bridges or any large structures.
Eyelash-like radio filaments accent the brightest feature in this image — a supermassive black hole.
Different kinds of telescopes on Earth and in space help us to see all wavelengths of light. Some can even peer billions of years back in time.
