By studying seismic and orbital data from two major meteorite impacts in late 2021, the international teams of NASA’s InSight and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter missions…
Astronomers have discovered that planet formation in our young Solar System began far earlier than previously thought, with planet building blocks growing at the same…
The quake lasted four hours and identified layering in the crust that could indicate a meteoroid impact. The 4.7 magnitude temblor happened in May 2022…
What Is Saturn? Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun. It is a gas giant, and the second largest and second most massive planet…
Comet strikes on Jupiter’s moon Europa could help transport critical ingredients for life found on the moon’s surface to its hidden ocean of liquid water…
Cube-shaped snow, icy landscapes, and frost are all part of the Red Planet’s coldest season. When winter comes to Mars, the surface is transformed into…
Oxygen is the key substance for life and one of the most abundant elements on Earth. However, it’s still unknown whether oxygen is present and…
Based partly on data from generations of NASA missions, including NASA’s Voyager and Cassini, a 40-year study could help scientists determine how to predict weather…
New research publishes first data on the Red Planet’s magnitude 4.7 quake that occurred earlier this year. Late on the Earth night of May 4,…
Team of astronomers led by the University of Montreal (UdeM) find that two exoplanets may be mostly water. Astronomers have discovered evidence that two exoplanets…
Planets are surrounded by rings because they are made up of particles that orbit the planet. These particles can be made up of a variety…
New ultra-precise measurements reveal the orbital path of exoplanet 55 Cancri e (55 Cnc e), a scorchingly hot super-Earth closely circling a distant star. New…
Giant Mantle Plume Reveals Mars Is More Active Than Previously Thought Orbital observations unveil the presence of an enormous mantle plume pushing the surface of…
Mars Megatsunami May Have Been Caused by Chicxulub-Like Asteroid Impact A Martian megatsunami may have been caused by an asteroid collision similar to the Chicxulub…
Venus may have been transformed from a temperate and wet world to the acidic hothouse it is today with help from vast volcanic activity lasting…
Early crust on Mars may be more complex than researchers previously thought—and it may even be similar to Earth’s original crust. The Martian surface is…
A new method to scan the deep interior of planets in our solar system to confirm whether they have a core at the heart of…
Until now, Mars has generally been considered a geologically dead planet. An international team of scientists now reports that seismic signals indicate vulcanism still plays…
