NASA leads the world in astrobiology research and exploration and is preparing for the discovery of life elsewhere by nurturing multidisciplinary research, by developing exciting space missions to explore habitable […]
The theory of plate tectonics is seminal in the geosciences, providing a testable framework to understand the existence and distribution of mountain belts, rifts, and basins on Earth. However, no […]
The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcanic eruption, which occurred on January 15, 2022, was the largest volcanic eruption of the 21st century. This eruption ejected a water plume that reached the […]
Scientists have discovered evidence of a megatsunami generated by an asteroid impact on Mars early in its history. This discovery dates back to the Viking 1 Lander (V1L), the first […]
Mars may have once been a blue and water-covered planet. According to a new study published by Kaveh Pahlevan and colleagues at Arizona State University, Mars’ earliest atmosphere was denser […]
