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…...
Curiosity Blog, Sols 4788-4797: Welcome Back from Conjunction
7+ mon, 5+ day ago (331+ words) Pasadena CA (SPX) Feb 08, 2026 - Mars has emerged from its holiday behind the Sun, and we here on Earth have been able to reconnect with Curiosity and get back to work on Mars. Our first planning day last Friday gave Curiosity…...
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…...
An asteroid struck somewhere north of Australia 11 million years ago, scattering molten glass across a 900-kilometre ellipse in South Australia — yet scientists still cannot find the crater it left behind
2+ mon, 17+ hour ago (419+ words) The glass is small enough to sit in a museum drawer, but the event it points to was not small. A set of unusual Australian tektites, now called ananguites,...
Scientists found a 3.7-billion-year-old chemical fingerprint in Australia’s oldest rocks that lines up with Apollo samples when traced back through time — strengthening evidence that Earth and the Moon were mixed together in a giant ancient impact
1+ week, 1+ day ago (381+ words) A distant lunar sample and Earth's most ancient rocks are telling the same isotopic story—one that only makes sense if a catastrophic collision once scrambled our planet and its future Moon together....
Cosmic krypton timestamps reveal Australia landscape evolution and resources
7+ mon, 4+ week ago (363+ words) Lead author and Adjunct Curtin Research Fellow Dr Maximilian Drollner, who is also based at the University of Gottingen, said the new approach makes it possible to study landscapes much older than those accessible with conventional techniques. He noted that…...
Olympus Mons grew so massive that parts of its lower flanks catastrophically collapsed, sending broken rock sliding hundreds of kilometres across the Martian plains—possibly lubricated when hot lava melted buried ice.
3+ day, 8+ hour ago (718+ words) Orbital evidence links Olympus Mons's aureole to immense flank failures. Water or ice may explain the long runout, but lava-driven melting remains one proposed mechanism....
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…...
CSES satellite tracks shifting South Atlantic anomaly and impact on solar cycle twenty five
9+ mon, 4+ week ago (366+ words) Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Nov 14, 2025 The South Atlantic anomaly represents the region of Earth's radiation belts with the highest particle concentrations and weakest geomagnetic shielding. This area poses risks to the electronics aboard low-Earth orbit satellites and to the health of…...
