A new study reveals that Jezero Crater’s enigmatic ‘Margin Unit’ was shaped by a complex sequence of ancient lakes, groundwater systems, and hydrothermal fluids.

There are roughly 200 confirmed impact structures on Earth, but geologists estimate that hundreds more lurk undiscovered.

NASA]. It has been known since the 1970s when the Viking orbiters took pictures of Mars that there are large (i.e., several kilometers-thick) mounds of light-toned deposits within the central […] ...

This starry view of the nearby star-forming region IC 348 is one of the largest images from JWST released to the public so far.

Using this model, the maximum depths of the western, central, and eastern basins were 10,926 m, 10,912 m, and 10,927 m, respectively. The study therefore gives 10,927 m as its preferred estimate of ...

Raman spectroscopy has been explored for planetary exploration, particularly through the SHERLOC instrument for Mars habitability ...

The chemical compositions of planets and their hosts stars are intrinsically linked, having formed from the same protostellar material ...

The K2-3 system is one of the most unique planetary systems as it features three transiting sub-Neptunes in decreasing order of radii, ...

Epsilon Eridani b, the nearest known Jupiter analog, has its orbit and mass constrained from radial velocity (RV) and absolute astrometry ...

[astro-ph.EP] Measuring M dwarf ages is a central challenge in stellar astrophysics. These stars evolve so slowly that isochrone fitting gives little constraint, requiring alternative methods based on ...

Cosmic rays can significantly alter the abundances of certain species in the upper layers of planetary atmospheres ...
