22 years of science! NASA’s Roman Space Telescope doubles its lifetime with super-precise engine burn
NASA’s newly launched Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to extend its lifespan and double its exciting…
A giant collision dumps enormous energy into an icy moon, but new simulations show that shattered fragments shed the heat rapidly—so smaller moons can lose existing oceans or fail to form oceans that would otherwise have developed.
A collision powerful enough to break an icy moon into a cloud of debris appears, at first glance,…

Mercury’s surface may contain only about 37% silicon dioxide by mass—up to 25% less than previous estimates—suggesting its ancient lavas came from a hotter, more extensively melted mantle.
Mercury’s volcanic surface may contain substantially less silicon dioxide than the values long used to describe its crust.…
