Researchers placed 650 geophones along Yellowstone's roads and sent a vibrating truck to 110 different spots to deliberately shake America's most-visited supervolcano, and the echoes revealed a layer 2.4 miles down that is roughly 86 percent solid rock.
3+ day, 10+ hour ago (177+ words) What lies beneath Yellowstone's surface—and how close is the molten rock to breaking through? By Life Signs · Edited by Nato Lagidze Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit That imaging revealed a distinct, laterally continuous reflector less than about 100 meters thick…...
In 2015, University of Florida scientists poured 5 gallons of red Rhodamine dye into Silver River’s main spring vent to track how water moved as the clear spring run turned more algae-green
6+ day, 16+ hour ago (89+ words) Five gallons is not much water. Poured out, it would fill a kitchen stockpot twice over, a volume a person can carry in one hand without leaning. By Deep Field · Edited by Justin Brown Published September 6, 2026 · How we edit Five…...
Antarctica developed a continental-scale ice sheet 34 million years ago while Earth was about 5°C warmer than today — helped by slow-moving mantle waves that had spent more than 100 million years lifting its interior high enough for permanent ice to survive.
1+ week, 6+ day ago (1344+ words) A 2026 modelling study links East Antarctica’s high plateau to mantle processes begun during Jurassic breakup, while retaining falling carbon dioxide as the main trigger for glaciation. By Space Daily Editorial Team · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published August 30, 2026 · How we edit…...
Models of the flood that refilled the Mediterranean put its peak flow through Gibraltar at roughly 100 million cubic metres a second — around 1,000 times the Amazon's average discharge — with erosion at the Camarinal Sill reaching roughly 0.4 metres a day
2+ week, 4+ day ago (105+ words) When an ancient sea vanished, its return was so catastrophic that it reshaped geology itself—yet scientists still debate exactly how violent the deluge truly was....
Jupiter pulls so hard on Io that the moon’s solid ground rises and falls by as much as 100 metres every orbit — a tide in rock the height of a 30-storey building, and the repeated flexing powers the most volcanically active world in the Solar System
3+ week, 1+ day ago (1555+ words) Io's ground can move by as much as 100 metres as Jupiter's changing tide flexes the moon, converting orbital energy into the heat that drives its volcanoes. By Lachlan Brown · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published August 21, 2026 · How we edit Io looks…...
The Moon is rusting even though it has no air and almost no liquid water — and the leading explanation is that oxygen escaping Earth rides our magnetic tail 385,000 kilometres into space during the few days each month when the solar wind is blocked
3+ week, 1+ day ago (687+ words) Chandrayaan-1 found hematite near the lunar poles. Orbital patterns and laboratory tests point to oxygen ions escaping Earth and reaching the Moon through our magnetotail....
The US Navy once sent aquanauts to live on the ocean floor for weeks, hoping SEALAB would prove humans could colonise the deep. Instead, one diver died, the program collapsed, and the underwater future quietly disappeared
3+ week, 4+ day ago (551+ words) What began as humanity's bold dream to conquer the ocean's depths became a cautionary tale about the limits of ambition and the price of pushing too far too fast. Published August 18, 2026 · How we edit Carpenter was the second American to…...
Earth has had eight continents all along — the one missing from every map and school textbook is nearly twice the size of India, 94 percent underwater, and has been quietly sitting beneath the South Pacific for 85 million years
1+ mon, 11+ hour ago (108+ words) Zealandia is a coherent 4.9-million-square-kilometre body of continental crust, about 94 per cent submerged. Its classification depends on geology beneath the coastline, not a newly discovered landmass....
Mars can snow carbon dioxide at its poles, while some of its warmest summer landscapes grow dry-ice frost overnight that vanishes back into gas after sunrise
1+ mon, 1+ day ago (583+ words) Mars can produce snow from carbon dioxide near its winter poles. Far from those seasonal caps, however, the same material can appear in a quieter and more...
The Italians named it Devil's Valley because of the steam pouring straight out of the ground. Turns out the steam was the mild part. A few kilometres below it sits enough molten rock to fill Lake Geneva forty times over
1+ mon, 5+ day ago (689+ words) Beneath Italy's steam vents lies a geothermal powerhouse so vast it could revolutionize how Europe generates clean energy—if engineers can safely tap into it. Published August 8, 2026 · How we edit The steam has been coming out of the ground for…...
