Planetary researchers using data from the Shallow Radar (SHARAD) instrument on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have discovered rich deposits of water...
In the lab, scientists have pinpointed a specific wavelength of infrared light absorbed when molecules of carbon monoxide and nitrogen join together and...
A team of planetary researchers from the United States, Canada and Italy has detected an ice-rich linear feature of bedrock in the tropical region of Saturn’s...
Evidence of an enormous solar storm that struck the Earth around 2,610 years ago has been found in ice cores from Greenland.
An artist’s illustration...
Future manned trips to Mars will require on-site resources, including water, and planetary scientists from a project called ‘Subsurface Water Ice Mapping...
Pure ice is blue because ice absorbs more red light than blue light. Most icebergs appear white or blue when floating in seawater, but since the early...
Recent radar observations from ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft were interpreted as evidence for melting beneath the south polar ice cap of Mars. Now, a...
While exploring Namibia, the desert country in southern Africa, a team of geologists from West Virginia University stumbled upon a peculiar land formation...
By analyzing several years of weather radar observations in Finland, a research team led by University of Helsinki scientists has discovered that planes...
A team of archaeologists from Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) has rediscovered a large, well-preserved subterranean ice-well dating from 1780.
Located...
New images from the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft show an impact crater in the northern lowlands of Mars. Known...
Fields of sharp ice growing to almost 50 feet (15 m) tall could be scattered across the equatorial regions of Jupiter’s moon Europa, according to a new...
A team of researchers led by Dr. Shuai Li of the University of Hawaii and Brown University has directly observed definitive evidence of surface-exposed...
Planetary researchers working with data from NASA’s New Horizons and ESA’s Rosetta missions have developed a new theory for the formation of the dwarf...
Annual lead emissions in Europe closely varied with historical events, including imperial expansion, wars, and major plagues, according to new research...
An international team of geophysicists has discovered two hypersaline lakes beneath the Devon Ice Cap, one of the largest ice caps in the Canadian Arctic.
A...
An international team of scientists has developed a numerical 3D model for the melting of single snowflakes. A better understanding of how snow melts can...
After many years of experiments, physicists have observed that under extreme temperatures and pressures, water takes on a new form called superionic ice....
