OurAmazingPlanet was founded in 2010 by TechMediaNetwork, which owned Space.com at the time. OurAmazingPlanet was dedicated to celebrating Earth and the mysteries still to be answered in its ecosystems, from the top of the world to the bottom of the sea. The website published stories until 2017, and was incorporated into LiveScience's Earth section.
