Plutón tuvo un arranque en caliente
Aunque la superficie de Plutón está helada en la actualidad, es probable que este cuerpo haya tenido un “origen caliente y violento”, según un nuevo estudio dirigido por Carver Bierson […]

The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) orbiting Mars has made the first detection of greenline dayglow around a planet other than the Earth. A thin, green glow is seen by […]
While the surface of Pluto is frigid today, its formation was likely to have been a hot, violent affair, according to a new study led by Carver Bierson of the […]
El satélite para el estudio de Gases Traza (TGO por sus siglas en inglés) en órbita marciana ha captado por primera vez un resplandor verdoso alrededor de un planeta que […]
En la superficie de Titán, la luna más grande de Saturno y el segundo satélite natural más grande del sistema solar, el metano y otros hidrocarburos se reciclan activamente de […]

The differentiation of silicate mantles in the terrestrial planets can be traced by examining the Sm-Nd (samarium-neodymium) isotopic system in available mantle-derived samples. For example, the decay of 146Sm yields […]
On the surface of Titan—Saturn’s largest moon and the solar system’s second-largest natural satellite—volatiles are actively cycled in a way much like the hydrological cycle on Earth. Apart from Earth, […]
La diferenciación de los mantos de silicato en los planetas terrestres se puede rastrear examinando el sistema isotópico Sm-Nd (samario-neodimio) en muestras disponibles obtenidas del manto. Por ejemplo, la desintegración de 146Sm […]
The Outer Planets Assessment Group (OPAG) is soliciting topics for White Papers to be submitted to the upcoming 2023–2033 Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey. The list of white papers […]
Have you dreamed of flying on another world? Have you imagined a desert world where the sand dunes are made of the building blocks of life, and it rains methane? […]
Two positions, a PhD and a post-doctoral position, are open for candidates interested in pursuing experimental planetary science at the Institute of Planetology, University of Münster, Germany. The goal is […]
The next OPAG meeting will be a virtual meeting to be held from September 1–3, 2020. The meeting agenda and details about how to register and attend this meeting will […]
Los métodos inorgánicos para sintetizar moléculas importantes que forman vida, como los aminoácidos, han sido campos de estudio activos durante décadas. Diferentes “recetas” implican interacciones entre moléculas inorgánicas (p. ej., CH4, […]
Las imágenes de la nave espacial OSIRIS-REx (Exploración del regolito de seguridad de identificación de recursos de interpretación espectral de orígenes) de la NASA muestran que las rocas en la […]
Images from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security-Regolith Explorer) spacecraft show that rocks on the surface of asteroid Bennu may crack and break down due to thermal cycling […]
Inorganic methods for synthesizing important life-forming molecules, such as amino acids, have been active fields of study for decades. Different “recipes” involve interactions between inorganic molecules (e.g., CH4, NH3, H2, […]
Episode 33: June 16th at 10:00am Pacific time. Simulcast live on Facebook, Livestream and SAGANet. Please join us as we welcome Dr. Eddie Schwieterman, an astrobiologist and astronomer interested in […]
We recognize that we are in unforeseen and challenging times that impact the ability of community members to meet the previously defined July 4th deadline for Decadal white papers. These […]
