Three tiny glass beads, from a sample of 3,000 taken from the Moon, have revealed evidence of recent volcanic activity. Previous scientific estimates suggested volcanic activity ended more than 2 ...

The Moon has long been treated as a geologically dead world, a frozen relic that finished erupting billions of years ago. A wave of new data is now challenging that assumption, pointing instead to a ...

Jupiter’s volcanic moon has always felt like a place that tests your sense of what a world can be. Its surface glows with hundreds of active hot spots. Its mountains rise higher than Everest. Its lava ...

Analysis of lunar samples from the Chang'e 5 mission revealed three volcanic glass beads, dated to approximately 123 million years old (with a 15-million-year margin of error). This finding challenges ...

Lionel Wilson has in the past received funding from the Leverhulme Trust for work on lunar volcanism. Volcanoes were erupting on the Moon as recently as 120 million years ago, evidence collected by a ...

The acid yellow moon Io that orbits Jupiter may be less than 30% the size of Earth, but is considered the most volcanic body in our solar system. As demonstrated by explosive news from NASA on Tuesday ...

This artist’s concept depicts a potential volcanic moon between the exoplanet WASP-49 b, left, and its parent star. New evidence indicating that a massive sodium cloud observed near WASP-49 b is ...

New data from the orbiter has unveiled some of the treacherous conditions of not only Jupiter, but its moon Io, the most volcanic body in the solar system. The findings, which come after Juno has ...

Astronomers have yet to confirm the existence of exomoons, but a molecular signal around a far away star offers some of the best evidence yet. By Robin George Andrews Astronomers have identified ...
