Scientists have discovered lava tubes just under the surface of the Moon. The team used radar to answer a question scientists have been asking for over 50 years. If we’re lucky, these tubes ...
a 300-mile-wide basin in the northeast quadrant of the moon's near side, that is believed to have been created by early volcanic eruptions and flooded with basaltic lava more than 3 billion years ago.
NASA’s Juno spacecraft identifies over 40 enormous lava lakes on Io, shedding light on the extreme volcanism sculpting Jupiter’s moon.
Jupiter's moon Io erupts lava material into space while Saturn's Enceladus ejects geysers. Both types of material contribute to the two planets' auroras, and that's what could be happening with ...
a plain made from an ancient hardened lava flow. This volcanic feature is not on the far side, but the northeast quadrant on the near side of the moon. The landing site is expected to provide ...
the Moon formed a crust and a mantle below. Giant pools of lava filled impact craters and settled into the lunar lowlands, or maria (Latin for “seas”), while highlands and volcanic domes ...
Just hours after touching down on the surface of the Moon on March 2 aboard Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost 1 lander, the ...
NASA confirmed that a chunk of debris that crashed into a Florida home came from a battery pallet ejected from the ISS, and archaeologists found evidence that humans used a lava tube as a shelter ...
The moon has volcanoes, but they’re not like the ones here on Earth. NASA scientists have been studying the eruptions for years, and now China’s lunar lander, Chang’E-3 has unraveled these ...
