A Martian volcano once thought to be the result of a single eruption turns out to have a much more complex past. Orbital imaging and mineral data show it developed through multiple eruptive phases, ...

The 2022 eruption of Mauna Loa was an extraordinary eruption in a lot of ways. It was the first eruption from this volcano in 38 years and the first Mauna Loa eruption that occurred during the current ...

How did young volcanoes on Mars form? This is what a recent study published in the journal Geology hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated th | Space ...

When referred to as a gas, it means a volatile has transitioned into the vapor phase. The most common gases (or vapor phase volatiles) emitted at the surface are water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and ...

In many ways, water seems opposite to lava; its role is to support life, not destroy it. Despite their surface-level differences, the two are more similar than we think. The solution to the geophysics ...

With monstrous plumes bursting from the water and shimmery streaks of electric light, Devon Massyn said it was one of the craziest things he has ever experienced.

In volcanoes, fluid inclusions are dominantly composed of CO 2. At magmatic temperatures (1200˚ C or 2192˚ F), the density of the CO 2 strongly depends on pressure, which is influenced by the depth of ...

Most webcams used by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory take a snapshot every few minutes to conserve bandwidth, but three webcams are currently “livestreaming” — meaning they transmit real-time ...

Learn how a young volcano on Mars stayed active for nine million years and what its changing lava reveals about Mars’ interior.

The president didn't share the post in question — and the idea behind it isn't backed by science.

64 million years ago, a Tyrannosaurus rex is hunting in what will one day become Montana. At the exact same time, millions of miles away on Mars, a volcano is erupting, sending rivers of glowing lava ...
