NASA Mission Points to Origin of ‘Ocean of Storms’ on Earth’s Moon
Using data from NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL), mission scientists have solved a lunar mystery almost as old as the Moon itself. Early theories suggested the craggy outline […]
A Hellacious Two Weeks on Jupiter’s Moon Io
Three massive volcanic eruptions occurred on Jupiter’s moon Io within a two-week period in August of last year. This led astronomers to speculate that such “outbursts,” which can send material […]

Supervolcanoes within an ancient volcanic province in Arabia Terra, Mars
Some of Mars’ deep craters were actually ancient supervolcanoes that spewed ash over the Red Planet and probably changed its climate, researchers suggest in a controversial new study. In last […]
