What new methods can be developed to study the Martian subsurface? This is what a recent study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research Planets hopes to address as an international team of ...

Hidden beneath a kilometre of ice in northwestern Greenland, an impact crater that could swallow a city the size of London, Ont. is the subject of much debate about its origins and age. Now, Western ...

The South Pole-Aitken impact basin on the far side of the Moon formed in a southward impact (toward the bottom in the image). The basin has a radioactive “KREEP-rich” ejecta blanket on one side of the ...

As astronauts prepare for south-polar landings, a new look at the Moon’s biggest crater points to a pivotal moment in lunar history—and to the rocks you’ll want sampled next. A study led by Jeffrey ...
