Monitoring the composition of magma gasses could help predict dangerous volcanic eruptions. Scientists want to take the knowledge from this discovery and build a 24/7…
Illustration of a satellite being destroyed by space debris. The reduced atmosphere in the upper atmosphere will increase satellites’ risk of collision with space pollution.…
This oblique perspective view of Tithonium Chasmata, which forms part of Mars’ Valles Marineris canyon structure, was generated from the digital terrain model and the…
Stitched together from 28 images, this view from NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover was captured after the rover ascended the steep slope of a geologic feature…
An interior cutaway of the early Earth highlighting its major geodynamic processes. Magnetic field lines are drawn in blue and red emanating from the liquid…
The new research indicates that the impactor would have to be about 20 to 25 kilometers (12.4 to 15.5 miles) in size and move at…
Researchers have discovered detectable changes in the local magnetic field that occur 2-3 days before an earthquake. Magnetometers detected faint signals that may improve our…
