Scientists announced earlier this week that they have discovered water inside tiny beads of glass scattered across the moon, suggesting that one day it could be extracted and used by the ...

A study published in the Nature indicated that waves of electrons arriving to the moon indirectly from the Earth and sun are playing a significant role in the formation of frozen water on the moon’s ...

Now, a theory proposed in a new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy hopes to explain this. In the study, researchers claim that electrons from Earth and the Sun are helping to create ...

Electrons from Earth may be forming water on the Moon Date: September 14, 2023 Source: University of Hawaii at Manoa Summary: Planetary scientists have discovered that high energy electrons in ...

A team of researchers in Japan has discovered microplastics inside rain clouds — the latest sign that the tiny particles are contaminating nearly every part of nature, from the things we eat and ...

Data from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest that CO2 ice on Jupiter’s moon Europa is coming from its underground ...

Frigid areas on the moon where the sun never shines are younger than the craters they reside in and, according to new research, likely host less water ice than previously thought. These areas ...

Sep. 18, 2023 — A team recently calculated that most of the Moon's permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) are at most around 3.4 billion years old and can contain relatively young deposits of water ...

On March 9, 1979, Linda Morabito discovered a volcanic plume on Io, a moon of Jupiter, in one of the photos from Voyager 1.

A shadowy harbour: Because the Sun strikes the Moon at such a low angle at its poles, sunlight never reaches the floors of some deep craters. These permanently shadowed regions trap volatile chemicals ...

When scientists on board the research vessel (RV) Investigator pulled a large sponge from the ocean in 2017, they noticed a tail fin poking out. They expected to find an eel had wriggled into the ...

An envelope. It indicates the ability to send an email. An curved arrow pointing right. The Earth may have helped give rise to water on the moon, scientists have found. A cosmic tail of invisible ...
