Venus is an enigma. It is similar in size to Earth and likely has a similar heat budget; therefore, it might be assumed that Venus cools through similar mechanisms. Earth […]
To understand how, when, and where planets form in a star system, we need to first look at planetesimals, the building blocks of the planets. Age dates of meteorites provide […]
For 16 years, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has used its three cameras, multi-spectral imaging spectrometer, shallow radar, and atmospheric sounder to observe the surface, subsurface, and atmosphere of Mars […]
Venus es un enigma. Es similar en tamaño a la Tierra y probablemente tenga un reservorio de calor similar; por lo tanto, podría suponerse que Venus se enfría a través […]
Para comprender cómo, cuándo y dónde se forman los planetas en un sistema estelar, primero debemos observar los planetesimales, los componentes básicos de los planetas. Las fechas de edad de […]
El ozono se encuentra en pequeñas cantidades en la atmósfera de Marte. Es altamente reactivo y su abundancia indica otros compuestos químicos que actualmente no se miden, como el radical […]
Temprano en la mañana del 16 de noviembre, la NASA lanzó su nuevo megacohete Artemis y puso en marcha su programa para llevar humanos a la Luna esta década. La […]
The Extraterrestrial Materials Analysis Group (ExMAG) is a community-based, interdisciplinary group providing a forum for discussion and analysis of matters concerning the collection, curation, and analysis of extraterrestrial samples. ExMAG […]
The Mercury Exploration Assessment Group (MExAG) is circulating Issue 9 of The Mercury Newsletter. The quarterly community newsletter can be accessed online at https://www.lpi.usra.edu/mexag/newsletter/. This newsletter shares Mercury science and […]
Ozone is found in small quantities in the atmosphere of Mars. It is highly reactive, and its abundance indicates other chemical compounds that are not currently measured, such as the […]
Early in the morning on November 16, NASA launched its new Artemis mega rocket and kickstarted its program to return humans to the Moon this decade. The spacecraft includes the […]
The Department of Earth and Space Sciences is excited to announce two tenure-track faculty positions in Earth and planetary surface processes at the University of Washington. Complete applications submitted by […]
Dos exoplanetas, WASP-76b y WASP-121b, tienen nubes de bario en sus atmósferas superiores. El bario es el elemento más pesado jamás registrado en la atmósfera de un exoplaneta hasta el […]
Los meteoritos y los asteroides fascinan a los científicos planetarios porque representan los componentes básicos de los planetas y ofrecen información única sobre los primeros momentos de nuestro sistema solar. […]
Meteorites and asteroids fascinate planetary scientists because they represent the building blocks of the planets and offer unique insights into the earliest moments of our solar system. Meteorites can be […]
Two exoplanets, WASP-76b and WASP-121b, have clouds of barium in their upper atmospheres. Barium is the heaviest element ever recorded in an exoplanet atmosphere thus far. These two exoplanets, which […]
The next Planetary Science Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting will take place December 5 and 6, 2022, as a virtual meeting on WebEx. The agenda is posted online, with WebEx connection […]
The Department of Astronomy and Planetary Science at Northern Arizona University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor starting August 2023. We are seeking applicants […]
Applications are now being accepted for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of astrochemistry to join The Cosmic Ice Laboratory at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, […]
