The franchise wrote that Jackson had been spoken to about his posts, and that he should not only apologize but use his accounts to “promote unity, equality, and respect.” Also in its statement, the organization criticized Jackson’s decision to share the quote and said it was “disappointed” in him for doing so. “Regardless of his intentions, the messages he shared were offensive, harmful, and absolutely appalling.

This article will look at the early and later symptoms of bladder cancer, as well as important differences in how the disease affects the different sexes, and when you should see your healthcare provider....

The center of the Earth may lie deep below our feet, but the intensely hot metal core of our planet is actually crucial for our survival; its movement produces the magnetic field that protects us from the sun’s harmful radiation. Scientists know that the core of the Earth is made of two parts—a solid inner core of iron and a liquid metal outer core. But they’ve never actually been, and for good reason....

The magnetic field around our planet helps deflect harmful particles coming from the sun—the solar wind. It is thought Mars once had a magnetic field but at some point it was lost. After this happened, the charged particles stripped the planet of its atmosphere and its oceans were lost to space. By maintaining a magnetic field, Earth was able to become and remain habitable. In a study published in PNAS, researchers have now looked at Earth’s early magnetic field, just after the planet formed 4....

“Snowball Earth” is a hypothesis referring to periods in our planet’s long history when almost its entire surface was covered in snow and ice. While scientists have proposed several different processes—such as widespread volcanic eruptions that blocked out the sun’s rays—to explain how the Earth became a snowball, the exact mechanisms are still being debated. Nevertheless, a team of MIT scientists say that whatever triggered the temporary global ice ages most likely would have involved processes that rapidly reduced the amount of solar radiation striking the Earth’s surface, according to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society A....
