Surah Ar-Ra’d (Chapter 13) verse 41
اَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡا اَنَّا نَاۡتِى الۡاَرۡضَ نَـنۡقُصُهَا مِنۡ اَطۡرَافِهَا ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يَحۡكُمُ لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكۡمِهٖؕ وَهُوَ سَرِيۡعُ الۡحِسَابِ ﴿۴۱﴾

“The Earth is losing weight,” said Thomas Moore, a Goddard space physicist who specializes in atmospheric escape. “There have been enough observations to know that anywhere from a hundred to several hundred tons of atmosphere are going into space every day.”

Using satellite data, scientists have estimated the rate of atmospheric escape. "It's something like 82,700 tons (75,000 metric tons)" Gronoff said. That means Earth is losing about 66,100 tons (60,000 metric tons) per year."
The atmosphere — is shrinking, according to Guillaume Gronoff, a senior research scientist who studies atmospheric escape at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia.
Our planet is losing about 17 million kilograms (37 million pounds) of mass per year (mainly from its atmosphere).

Taking into account the gains and the losses, Dr Smith reckons the Earth is getting about 50,000 tonnes lighter a year.
Combined data from three NASA satellites have produced a long-term record that reveals the mesosphere, the layer of the atmosphere 30 to 50 miles above the surface, is cooling and contracting.
21-30. And have the disbelievers not seen that the whole heaven and the earth were joined together as one unit, and then We split them apart? And We originated all the living organism from water. So do they not accept faith?
What exactly is dark energy?
The short answer is: We don't know. But we do know that it exists, it’s making the universe expand at an accelerating rate, and approximately 68.3 to 70% of the universe is dark energy.
Astronomer Edwin Hubble confirmed that the universe was expanding in 1929 using observations made by his associate, astronomer Milton Humason. Humason measured the redshift of spiral galaxies. They compared the distances of these galaxies to their redshift and tracked how the farther away an object is, the bigger its redshift and the faster it is moving away from us.
Indeed at school we were told that the Universe was expanding, but that the gravity of all matter in the Universe would cause that expansion to slow down and reverse. Leading to an end-of-Universe scenario known as the 'big crunch'.
Now we know that the expansion of the Universe isn't slowing down. It's speeding up. We call the unknown force behind this acceleration dark energy.

By scientific standards, the origin of iron is one of the most violent processes imaginable. A type of star known as a red giant begins to turn all of its helium into carbon and oxygen atoms. Those atoms then begin to turn into iron atoms, the heaviest type of atom a star can produce. When most of a star's atoms become iron atoms, it becomes what is known as a supernova. It explodes, showering space with iron, oxygen and carbon atoms far and wide.
From here, gravity takes over, forming the atoms into planets such as Earth.
Surah Nuh (Chapter 71) verse 16
One of the brightest objects in the night sky is the moon. Interestingly enough, the moon does not emit light in the visible spectrum. Instead, the moon emits infrared light and gamma rays

and
If you could see gamma rays - photons with a million or more times the energy of visible light - the Moon would appear brighter than the Sun! The startling notion is demonstrated by this image of the Moon from the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) in orbit on NASA's Compton Gamma Rays Observatory from April 1991 to June 2000

According to Harvard University research paper, moon produces its own light in infrared spectrum.
Scientists believe that 80 percent of the volcanic eruptions on Earth take place in the ocean. Most of these volcanoes are thousands of feet deep, and difficult to find. But in May of 2009, scientists captured the deepest ocean eruption ever found.
Nearly 4000 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean – in an area between Samoa, Fiji and Tonga - the West Mata volcano was discovered. The explosions of molten rock were spectacular. This volcano was producing Boninite lavas – believed to be among the hottest erupting on Earth. Scientists also witnessed molten lava flowing across the deep-ocean sea floor and spotted shrimp living near the volcano’s most active areas.
This research allows us to closely examine how ocean islands and undersea volcanoes are born. It may also shed light on how heat and matter transfer from the interior of the Earth to the surface, and how life adapts to some of the harshest conditions on our planet.
Finding West Mata was a huge break for scientists and for those interested in seeing what takes place in the deepest depths of our ocean.

Behold, God does not disdain to propound a parable of a mosquito, and of what is above it, Now, as for those who have attained to faith, they know that it is the truth from their Sustainer – whereas those who are bent on denying the truth say, “What could God mean by this parable? In this way does He cause many a one to go astray, just as He guides many a one aright: but none does He cause thereby to go astray save the iniquitous.” Surah al Baqra, 2:26
بے شک الله نہیں شرماتا اس بات سے کہ کوئی مثال بیان کرے مچھر کی یا اس چیز کی جو اس کے اوپر ہے سو جو لوگ مومن ہیں وہ اسے اپنے رب کی طرف سے صحیح جانتے ہیں اور جو کافر ہیں سو کہتے ہیں الله کا اس مثال سے کیا مطلب ہے الله اس مثال سے بہتوں کو گمراہ کرتا ہے اور بہتوں کو اس سے ہدایت کرتا ہے اوراس سے گمراہ تو بدکاروں ہی کو کیا کرتا ہے (2-26)

There are approximately 5,000 described species of water mites worldwide.
When feeding, mites grasp their prey and use specialized piercing mouthparts to puncture their food and suck the juices out.
Beyond the lack of knowledge about water mite biodiversity, studies on their life history strategies are also lacking, with virtually all previous reports of water mite diets based on laboratory observations. Water mites have a complex life cycle that has co-evolved with important freshwater insect groups, especially Diptera, including mosquitoes and midges, which have frequently, though not exclusively, been identified as water mite prey.
Miracle of mosquito and its mite
If we further consider the creation of a mosquito, we realize the infinite power of Allah. Consider the anatomy of a mosquito’s eye. A mosquito’s eye is a complex structure that HAS AN INFRARED VISION. Here are some of the key components of a mosquito’s eye:

The boundary between ocean waters is one of the most fascinating and unusual phenomena in nature. It is a place where the waters of two oceans with different properties meet, but do not mix with each other. One of the best-known examples of this phenomenon is the contact zone between the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. In the Gulf of Alaska, the ocean waters meet, but do not cross the line of contact. This is where the real limit exists. This is a completely natural phenomenon, although rare.
The surface of the Pacific Ocean stands about 40 cm higher than the Atlantic Ocean with respect to the 1000-decibar surface, and the North Atlantic and North Pacific stand respectively about 14 and 17 cm higher than the South Atlantic and Pacific. The North Atlantic is warmest and saltiest, the South Atlantic is coldest and densest, and the North Pacific is least dense and least salty. The extreme values in temperature and salinity of the North Atlantic are probably related to the formation of the deep water there, which carries away from the upper layer the cold water of relatively low salinity. If this water spreads into the South Atlantic at depth and is replaced with warm saline surface water from the South Atlantic via the South Equatorial Current and the Gulf Stream, then the South Atlantic should be substantially cooler and less salty. The difference in density and sea level of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans may stem from the difference in latitude of the southern tips of America, Africa, and Australia, and the constriction of the west wind drift at Drake Strait.
