The Moon was formed when it collided with Earth billions of years ago.
Mercury has shrunk by7 km. Most of this happened long ago, but now we have evidence that it continues.
Five out of the six essential elements required for life on Earth were known to exist on Enceladus. Now the sixth and final one has been found too.
Decades old images reveal that a volcano erupted on Venus in 1991.
The Turkish government was well aware of earthquake-resilient construction techniques.
The first ever sound recording of a dust devil on Mars reminds us that there is a lot to learn about how they sculpt the landscape.
Research on exoplanets over the next couple of decades could help us more accurately estimate how many intelligent alien civilisations there are in our galaxy.
There may be life on Jupiter’s moon Europa or Saturn moon’s Enceladus.
We should not be surprised that some of the innumerable rocks on Mars have weird shapes, because many have been sand-blasted by wind erosion for billions of years.
Pluto has recently active icy volcanoes, that have erupted water ice.

Some people are outraged that human negligence will disfigure the Moon. But that’s not the main issue.
What did Mercury look like as BepiColombo swung by?
Desde el acantilado más alto del sistema solar hasta su mayor cuenca, los procesos geológicos de otros mundos son muy similares a los de nuestro propio planeta.
From the tallest cliff in the solar system to its largest impact basin, geological processes on other worlds are very similar to those on our own planet.
It is becoming increasingly clear that there is plenty of brine on Mars.
New findings boost chances of finding life on Mars, but there are better candidates in the solar system.
Pluto began hot inside, study of its surface fractures suggests
New research expands the pool of habitable worlds to include super-Earths with hydrogen-rich atmospheres.
Earth currently has a second moon - but it won’t stay long.
The InSights mission is producing the first evidence-based picture of Mars’s interior.
Saturn’s largest moon has been fully mapped for the first time.
We have the Apollo missions to thank for a lot of our geological knowledge about the moon.
