Scientists have found that Earth’s deep mantle may hold pieces of the ancient planet Theia, offering new insights into the Moon’s origin and Earth’s formative…
Simulations produced by a Brown-led research team offer evidence that Venus once had plate tectonics — a finding that opens the door for the possibility…
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope provides a new ultraviolet image of Jupiter during its opposition, revealing details like the Great Red Spot in false-color to highlight…
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered a previously unseen jet stream in Jupiter’s atmosphere. Similar phenomena were observed on Saturn, and both may be linked…
NASA’s Kepler telescope data has unveiled a new system called Kepler-385 with seven hot, large planets that orbit a star slightly larger and hotter than…
New NASA InSight research reveals a liquid silicate ‘blanket’ wrapped around Mars’ core, leading to new clues about the planet’s evolutionary history and the loss…
A Caltech-led study suggests that two massive, iron-rich structures deep within Earth’s mantle are the remains of Theia, an ancient planet that collided with Earth,…
The map could help the agency decide where the first astronauts to the Red Planet should land. The more available water, the less missions will…
Observations of Saturn by University of Leicester planetary scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of the famous ringed planet. A team of planetary…
University of Leicester astronomers confirm the existence of an infrared (IR) aurora on Uranus. The presence of an infrared aurora on the cold, outer planet…
Mars’s liquid iron core is smaller and denser than previously thought. Not only is it smaller, but it is also surrounded by a layer of…
Recent data challenges initial NASA InSight Mars Lander mission findings about Mars’ internal structure. Researchers have discovered a molten silicate layer at the Martian mantle’s…
Narrow jet stream near Jupiter’s equator has winds traveling 320 miles per hour. Jupiter has some of the most conspicuous atmospheric features in our solar…
A global collaboration led by the University of Oxford has determined that the largest-ever seismic event on Mars, known as S1222a, was not caused by…
The Mars Express provides a detailed visualization of Noctis Labyrinthus, a vast valley system on Mars, revealing its unique geological formations and the effects of…
Mercury’s exploration by the Mio spacecraft revealed localized chorus waves in its magnetosphere. International research utilized advanced theories and simulations to understand these waves, emphasizing…
A new study suggests impact-driven mixing of mantle materials could create current mantle composition. Southwest Research Institute’s Dr. Simone Marchi collaborated on a new study…
