Mars’s vanished northern ocean may have left two independent fingerprints: China’s Zhurong rover detected buried, sloping sand-and-gravel deposits resembling an ancient beach, while University of Arkansas researchers identified nine river deltas bearing the backwater geometry of rivers entering a vast standing body of water.
2+ week, 3+ day ago (1034+ words) Zhurong radar layers and backwater geometry in nine Aeolis Dorsa channel belts provide separate evidence for a large ancient body of water in Mars’s northern lowlands....
A dark rock picked off the gravel plains of Oman turned out to be a piece of Mars, blasted off the planet by an impact. It now rides aboard Perseverance as a calibration target, back on the world it came from
1+ mon, 2+ day ago (467+ words) A meteorite that fell to Earth from Mars now helps calibrate instruments on a rover exploring the Red Planet—a cosmic round trip that took 300,000 years. By Space Daily Editorial Team Published August 11, 2026 · How we edit In 1999, out on the…...
In 1994, a park ranger abseiling into a canyon 150 kilometres northwest of Sydney found a stand of trees with knobbly bark that matched 90-million-year-old fossils, and the Wollemi pine's exact location is still classified
1+ mon, 4+ week ago (127+ words) In September 1994, off-duty NSW park ranger David Noble abseiled into a slot canyon 150 kilometres from Sydney and found a stand of trees that matched 90-million-year-old fossils. Fewer than 90 wild Wollemi pines remain, and the Australian government still keeps the grove's…...
A grain of stardust extracted from the Murchison meteorite that landed in Victoria in 1969 was dated to roughly 7 billion years old, meaning it condensed in the atmosphere of a dying star more than 2 billion years before the Sun existed
1+ mon, 2+ day ago (552+ words) A silicon carbide grain extracted from the Murchison meteorite, which fell on a Victorian dairy farm in 1969, was dated in 2020 to about seven billion years old — condensed in the atmosphere of a dying star more than two billion years before…...
For years scientists argued whether the pale band along Jezero crater's western inner rim was lakeshore sediment or altered igneous rock. A study published in January 2026 suggests both sides were partly right — one stretch of it looks like a beach
1+ mon, 2+ day ago (573+ words) Mars's most disputed geological feature may finally reveal what it is: a shoreline where ancient water met stone. Published August 10, 2026 · How we edit Look at Jezero crater from orbit and one feature stands out: a pale band along the inside…...
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…...
Saturn's moon Mimas looks like a dead, cratered rock — its surface is so inert that scientists assumed it was frozen solid — but in 2024 astronomers confirmed a global ocean hidden beneath the ice, formed just 5 to 15 million years ago
1+ mon, 5+ day ago (696+ words) Mimas looks frozen and geologically quiet, yet Cassini's measurements point to a young global ocean beneath 20 to 30 kilometres of ice. Published August 7, 2026 · How we edit Mimas does not look like an ocean world. It is small, cold and covered in…...
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, 15+ 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…...
In 2025, Antarctic drillers reached bedrock and recovered ice that fell as snow 1.2 million years ago — with the air of that vanished world still sealed inside it
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (782+ words) A time capsule of ancient air reveals how Earth's climate operated in a world before humans existed....
We have mapped the surface of Mars, the Moon and Venus in sharper detail than the floor of our own ocean, most of which no human instrument has ever seen up close
2+ mon, 4+ day ago (569+ words) Published July 8, 2026 Here is a claim that sounds like an exaggeration and is not: the best global maps of Mars, the Moon and Venus resolve finer detail than the best global map of the floor of our own ocean. The…...
