This HiRISE image shows light-toned layered deposits within Iani Chaos. Many of the same deposits occur within the ...

Studies suggest that protoplanetary disks around stars with high carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratios can produce terrestrial planets ...

GA] Sulfur is the tenth most abundant element in space, yet it is strongly depleted in the gas phase of dense interstellar ...

ACS Earth Space Chemistry] Although energetic and nonenergetic processing of interstellar dust grain surfaces and ice is thought to be one of the dominant mechanisms for the extraterrestrial synthesis ...

Pre-stellar cores are the sites of the earliest stages of star formation. Dust continuum observations are often used to identify and characterise their properties yet only a small fraction of them ...

AAAS] Ancient sea-level changes provide new evidence that during the Jurassic and Cretaceous, Earth underwent episodes of rapid “true polar wander” (TPW). “These findings refute the view of TPW as ...

Mars-sized object called Theia smashed into the infant Earth, vapourising massive amounts of rock and blasting it into space ...

Time-variable stellar heating may create new climate states, such as permanently hot or cold hemispheres, on asynchronous planets.

From a human perspective, Enceladus is anything but a comfortable place to live: Icy cold, hardly any oxygen, and – below its ...

Titan, a unique body in the solar system, resembles a life-size Miller-Urey experiment where pockets of liquid water might interact with abundant organic matter.

Far-red light (FRL) cyanobacteria occupy spectrally filtered habitats where visible wavelengths are depleted but far-red ...

Biorelevant nitrogen heterocycles, including the five canonical nucleobases found in RNA and DNA, have recently been ...
