Gardening the Moon's Cosmic Archives
When a meteoroid hits the Moon's surface, it does more than just dig up a little dirt. It actually excavates a little bit of cosmic history that recorded a long-ago supernova explo...

The Red Planet’s global geography of low-lying northern plains and rugged southern highlands seems to have surprisingly deep roots, with profound implications for Mars’s ancient ha...
Editor's Note: Today's story is the answer to the September Puzzler. - - Several of the outcrops at Vasquez Rocks Natural Area in Southern California jut from the arid land...
A new geochemical modeling study led by researchers at JAXA and the University of Tokyo addresses Mars' "missing" stores of carbonate rocks.
As the BepiColombo mission prepares to enter the final phase of its journey to Mercury, a series of studies conducted by researchers at the University of LiГЁge and KU Leuven sheds...
Researchers added that identifying terrestrial analogue sites has become a pressing requirement in the era of intense planetary exploration since recent studies demonstrated that o...
New orbital evidence suggests the young Moon may once have generated its own magnetic field from deep within its interior. A buried volcanic structure on the Moon’s far side may pr...
A NASA astronaut captured a stunning 600-million-year-old rock formation in Madagascar that shares a surprising geological connection with the Moon. A striking patch of bright rock...
If we look at Mars today, we’ll see a cold, dusty desert, but peel back the surface geology, and the planet tells quite a different story! Networked river valleys, ancient deltaic...
In the search for extraterrestrial life, it makes sense to first look for rocky planets with an atmosphere, like Earth. Without an atmosphere, a planet can't have surface water. Bu...
Asteroids which strike the Moon and create new craters offer lunar scientists a window onto the workings of our natural satellite’s shallow subsurface.
Göran Ekström tracks incidents like landslides and glacier collapse using tools once used only to monitor earthquakes.
Something deep inside Mars has scientists looking for clues to its internal evolution. A team at the University of Arizona led by Alexander Byrne, used a technique called "tidal to...
"Scientists usually assume that the interiors of planetary bodies are generally spherically symmetric, but this is not necessarily true." The post Scientists Baffled by Bizarre “An...
Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory have teamed up to get a fresh look at the complex makeup of meteorites and glimpse int...
In the early history of our solar system, scientists theorize that a Mars-sized object called Theia smashed into the infant Earth, vaporizing massive amounts of rock and blasting i...
Mars may have built a surprisingly complex crust through large magmatic systems without the plate tectonics long thought necessary. Mars has no moving tectonic plates, yet deep ben...
Cosmic topology is as esoteric as cosmology can get. But a growing number of astrophysicists think it holds keys to understanding the universe on its largest scales.
Study of inclusions in a primordial meteorite suggests that magnetism must be considered in simulations of planet formation, and may even be the dominant factor The post Magnetism...
Lights blink on as I enter the Rover Operations Center at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, at 7:30 a.m. I'm the first to arrive, even though I already feel...
In the deepest region of the Earth's mantle, just above the core, much of the material consists of crystals of magnesium oxide. In larger rocky exoplanets called super-Earths, the...
A strange honeycomb landscape on Mars may preserve the scars of ancient cycles of rain, drought, and cracking mud. The surface of Mars is home to some of the most breathtaking and...
The ASTRID cosmological simulation has run from the Universe's early days up to the present day, z=0. ASTRID is larger than some other simulations, and smaller than others. But wit...
There’s an active debate in the astrobiology community of where to use our best telescopes to look for our best chance of seeing alien life. That debate has been going on for decad...
