Aug. 25, 2022 One main goal of NASA's Mars 2020 mission is to determine when conditions on the planet were conducive to the formation of liquid water. Hence the target Jezero crater, seemingly a lakebed with ...
Apr. 23, 2021 An unusual belt of igneous rocks stretches for over 2,000 miles from British Columbia, Canada, to Sonora, Mexico, running through Idaho, Montana, Nevada, southeast California and ...
Sep. 7, 2022 Let's pretend it's the Late Cretaceous, roughly 66 to 100 million years ago. We've got dinosaurs roaming the land and odd-looking early species of birds, although the shark as we know ...
Aug. 3, 2022 Researchers have discovered that super-eruptions occur when huge accumulations of magma deep in the Earth's crust, formed over millions of years, move rapidly to the surface disrupting ...
Oct. 8, 2021 Since the Perseverance rover landed in Jezero crater on Mars in February, the rover and its team of scientists back on Earth have been hard at work exploring the floor of the crater that once held an ...
Aug. 25, 2022 NASA's Perseverance landed on Mars in February 2021 and has been gathering data on the planet's geology and climate and searching for signs of ancient life. The rover's subsurface ...
July 7, 2021 Why magma flowed along a curved pathway during the 2018 eruption of a Galapagos volcano is explained by a new ...
Sep. 16, 2022 NASA's Perseverance rover is well into its second science campaign, collecting rock-core samples from features within an area long considered by scientists to be a top prospect for finding signs ...
Sep. 22, 2022 The traditional hypothesis about totally molten magma chambers (key to volcanic activity) may just be correct, despite some recent studies claiming otherwise. Wits researchers have compelling ...
Sep. 9, 2022 Scientists have shed new light on the timing and likely cause of major volcanic events that occurred millions of years ago and caused such climatic and biological upheaval that they drove some of the ...
