A new instrument type has discovered evidence of a volcanic process on the Moon that had only been seen on Earth. “Before the 1950’s, most scientists thought the craters on the Moon were from ...

Volcanoes are not just destructive forces. They are also incredible builders of new land. From the formation of islands like ...

A giant mound near the Moon’s south pole appears to be a volcanic structure unlike any other found on the lunar surface, according to new research. The formation, known as Mafic Mound, stands about ...

Scientists have shed light on a thermal process in magma that may help explain why similar volcanic systems can produce very different eruptive behaviours.

When a volcano erupts, it can spew ash high into the atmosphere—inserting aerosols right where clouds typically form. How exactly these aerosols impact cloud formation has long been a mystery to ...

Scientists have shed light on a thermal process in magma that may help explain why similar volcanic systems can produce very different eruptive behaviors.

A nearby volcano is showing signs of an imminent eruption. Seismic activity is increasing, magma is rising, and the pressure ...
