The stars as seen from Earth would have looked dimmer 14 million years ago, as the solar system was in the middle of passing ...

Millions of years ago, our Solar System sailed through the Orion Complex, part of the vast Radcliffe Wave structure. This ...

A team of scientists led by Dr. Matthew McCurry from the Australian Museum and UNSW Sydney unveiled the discovery of a ...

Earth may have cooled during a close encounter with dense star clouds. Interstellar dust from the Orion region might have shaped our ancient climate.

the scientists behind this discovery also think there's a chance that the Radcliffe wave played a role in the climate cooling that occurred in the Middle Miocene epoch, when temperatures plunged ...

“And as we are currently not in the best case scenario, but also not the worst case scenario, we’re sort of on a middle trajectory, and that is what the Miocene best represents,” Reichgelt sai ...

This timeframe aligns well with the Middle Miocene Climate Transition, a significant shift from a warm variable climate to a cooler climate, leading to the establishment of a continental-scale ...
