  Scientists Observe Rare Plastic Ice, A Hybrid Form of Ice and Water, Under Extreme Pressure and Heat

  Researchers have observed plastic ice, a phase where water molecules rotate while staying in a solid structure. The discovery, made under extreme pressure and heat, could provide new insights into the composition of icy exoplanets and moons. The findings suggest plastic ice VII may have existed in Europa and Titan's interiors and could influence nu...

  Moon's Geological Activity: New Evidence Suggests Surface Changes Persist

  New research suggests the Moon may still be geologically active, as 266 newly discovered wrinkle ridges indicate recent surface changes. The study estimates these ridges formed within the last 160 million years, challenging the belief that lunar activity ended billions of years ago. Scientists believe continued contraction could cause moonquakes, p...

  New Study Finds Active Lunar Tectonics, Challenges Moon’s Dormancy

  A recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal reveals that the moon is still experiencing tectonic activity. Scientists identified 266 small ridges on the far side of the moon, formed within the last 160 to 200 million years. The study suggests these ridges result from geological forces like lunar shrinking and orbital shifts. The findi...

  Study Reveals Earth's Small Asteroid Likely Originated from the Moon

  Asteroid 2024 PT5, discovered near Earth in 2024, is suspected to be a fragment from the Moon’s surface. Researchers found its composition matches lunar rock samples, specifically silicate-rich materials, unlike any known asteroid. Analysis from NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies confirmed it is a natural object, not human-made debris,...

  Did Earth Create the Moon? Research Uncovers Clues About Lunar Formation

  Recent findings from the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute challenge previous theories about the moon's formation. The study reveals that the moon was largely created from material ejected from Earth's mantle, not from the protoplanet Theia. Additionally, it offers new perspectives on the origin of water on Earth, suggesting tha...

  New "Kiss-and-Capture" Theory Explains Pluto's Formation of Largest Moon, Charon

  A new theory proposes that Pluto’s largest moon, Charon, was formed billions of years ago through a rare "kiss-and-capture" collision in the Kuiper Belt. This process involves two icy bodies briefly merging and then separating, leaving Charon in a stable orbit around Pluto. Unlike traditional collision models, this event challenges previous theor...
