Corn Syrup Reveals How Bubbles Affect Lava’s Flow
Scientists studying the 2018 eruption of Kīlauea were surprised to find that the flow of the volcano slowed over time, and the cause is bubbles in the lava.
Secrets of Australia’s East Coast Volcanoes Revealed
Geoscientists at the University of Sydney have determined why Australia’s east coast has a chain of volcanoes from North Queensland to Tasmania.
New Volcano, Old Caldera
Investigations by French scientists revealed a new submarine volcano had developed about 50 kilometers off the coast of the tiny island of Mayotte, between Africa and Madagascar.
Eruption at Kīlauea Volcano summit
At 9:30 pm Sunday, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory detected a glow within the summit crater of Kīlauea, and by morning, a new eruption had begun.
Festive features spotted near Mars’ south pole
Because it’s that time of year, the European Space Agency (ESA) has provided us with a seasonal image of Mars — an angel and a heart. These formations were spotted by ESA’s Mars Express near Mars’ south pole back in November.
Powerful electrical events quickly alter surface chemistry on Mars and other planetary bodies
According to new research from Washington University in St. Louis (WUSL) and published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, electrical effects can affect the chemical composition of a planetary body’s surface and atmosphere in a relatively short time.
A Fresh Perspective on Intricate Volcanic Plumbing Systems
In order to build a new and better understanding of volcanoes, an 85-person workshop was convened in Argentina that combined two days of scientific meetings and a three-day field workshop that looked at rock formations altered through magma intrusions and other volcanic features.
Can white dwarfs help solve the cosmological lithium problem?
A team led by scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill may have taken the first steps to solve the cosmological lithium problem in new work published in the journal Science.
Gravitational Waves Probe Exotic Matter inside Neutron Stars
In a new paper in Science, a team of astronomers examines how merging neutron stars may be used as standard candles, and what we can learn about the interiors of these weird stars from so many forms of data.
Artificial Intelligence Classifies Supernova Explosions with Unprecedented Accuracy
In new work coming from the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard, scientists have taught an AI to identify and classify supernovae, using a data set of 500 novae with spectra from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Sky Survey.
