NASA Captures Stream of Lava Flowing from Iceland’s Volcanic Eruption
NASA’s satellite images have captured the ongoing volcanic eruption near Iceland's Blue Lagoon. The eruption, which started on 20 November, caused lava to flow from a fissure, with the nearby Blue Lagoon spa and Grindavík being evacuated. The infrared visuals reveal lava glowing brighter than Reykjavík. While the eruption is ongoing, lava flow ...

Earth’s Longest Straight Underwater Mountain Chain Might Have Been Formed by a Moving Hotspot
A new study from Curtin University has revealed that the Ninetyeast Ridge, the world's longest straight underwater mountain chain, was formed by a moving volcanic hotspot, not a stationary one as previously believed. Spanning 5,000 km along the Indian Ocean, the ridge was shaped by the Kerguelen hotspot, which shifted several hundred kilometres ove...

Moon Rocks Brought From the Far Side Confirm Ancient Volcanic Activity
Researchers analysing lunar samples from China’s Chang’e-6 mission have uncovered evidence of ancient volcanic activity on the Moon’s far side. The mission, which returned nearly two kilograms of lunar soil in June, landed in the South Pole-Aitken Basin, one of the Moon’s oldest craters. Studies published in Science and Nature revealed volc...

What Studies On Soil Sample From Moon's Far Side Have Found
Volcanic rock in the sample collected by Chang'e-6, the first mission that brought back soil from the far side of the Moon, is about 2.8 billion years old, suggesting the landing site was volcanically active at the time, according to two new studies.

Scientists Confirm Volcanic Eruptions on Moon’s Far Side in New Study
A recent study has confirmed the existence of volcanic eruptions on the Moon’s far side. By analysing lunar soil samples brought back by China’s Chang’e-6 mission, scientists discovered volcanic rock fragments dating to over 2.8 billion years ago. These findings reveal a long history of volcanic activity on the Moon’s far side, mirroring th...

‘Chonkus’ Algae Found Off Italian Coast Holds Promise for Improve Climate Change Situation
The newly identified ‘Chonkus’ strain of cyanobacteria, discovered in Italy's volcanic waters, may be a natural ally in carbon sequestration. With its CO₂-absorbing properties and ability to thrive in extreme environments, Chonkus shows promise in industrial carbon storage and bio-manufacturing, potentially lowering costs while contributing t...

Scientists Identify Seismic Trigger Before 2022 Tonga Eruption; Insight Could Improve Tsunami Warnings
A seismic wave recorded 15 minutes before the massive 2022 Tonga eruption could help scientists improve early-warning systems for remote oceanic volcanoes and mitigate tsunami risks. Researchers found that a rupture beneath the volcano’s caldera allowed seawater to mix with magma, triggering the eruption. This discovery may provide critical lead-...
