Lava World Recon: Possible Tectonic Activity On Venus
Using archival data from the mission, launched in 1989, researchers have uncovered new evidence that tectonic activity may be deforming the planet’s surface.
Ice Planet Recon: Antarctica Has A Huge, Completely Hidden Mountain Range
Have you ever imagined what Antarctica looks like beneath its thick blanket of ice? Hidden below are rugged mountains, valleys, hills and plains.
Conditions For Accretion Favoring An Unmelted Callisto And A Differentiated Ganymede
Analysis of Callisto’s moments of inertia, derived from Galileo’s gravity data, suggests that its structure is not fully differentiated.
Viewing Lobate Patterns On Mars And Earth As Climate Modulated Fluid-like Instabilities
Lobate features found on high-latitude slopes on Mars resemble terrestrial cold-climate soil patterns known as solifluction lobes.
Earth’s Composition: Origin, Evolution and Energy Budget
One in every two atoms in the Earth, Mars, and the Moon is oxygen; it is the third most abundant element in the solar system.
Hydrothermal Activity Generated By Impact Melt Emplacement On The Rim Of Ritchey Crater, Mars
Impact-induced hydrothermal systems have the potential to sustain long-lived aqueous environments throughout the history of Mars, yet their nature and distribution are not well-understood.
Solving One Of Earth’s Ancient Volcanic Mysteries
Geologists led by the University of Maryland and the University of Hawaiʻi finally connected the dots between one of the largest volcanic eruptions in Earth’s history and its source deep […]
Atmospheric C/O Ratios Of Sub-Neptunes With Magma Oceans: Homemade Rather Than Inherited
Recently, the James Webb Space Telescope has enabled detailed spectroscopic characterization of sub-Neptune atmospheres.
Mars Mapping: Gullies On The Northern Crater Slope In Terra Sirenum
This approximately 60-kilometer diameter crater is located in Terra Sirenum in the Southern Highlands of Mars. The crater is gullied on its north, west and southwest slopes and numerous deposits […]
