Water On Earth

NASA's Mars Perseverance rover has unveiled intriguing findings at Serpentine Rapids, a location characterised by its striking red rocks interspersed with distinctive green spots. These features, observed in a nighttime mosaic captured by the rover's SHERLOC WATSON camera, may provide insights into Mars' geological history. The green spots are thou...

Scientists have discovered phosphorus-rich grains in samples from the asteroid Ryugu, brought back by Japan’s Hayabusa2 mission. These grains, thought to have come from the outer Solar System, may have interacted with early Earth’s water, releasing essential nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen. This interaction could have played a role in th...

NASA's latest study proposes that meltwater beneath Mars' icy surface could sustain microbial life. Researchers utilised advanced computer modelling to demonstrate that sunlight can penetrate water ice enough to allow photosynthesis in shallow meltwater pools. These pools, which may form in the Martian tropics, could provide a protective environmen...

An immense reservoir of liquid water may reside deep under the surface of Mars within fractured igneous rocks, holding enough to fill an ocean that would cover the entire surface of Earth's planetary neighbor.

The greenhouse gases are impacting Earth's water bodies, NASA's scary visualisation of the oceans revealed.

Since its formation billions of years ago, Earth's tectonic plates have been transporting water to lower mantle through subduction zones.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has captured images of Pluto, revealing a 44-kilometer-wide crater that displays indications of recent volcanic activity.

Scientists analysing the remote sensing data from India's Chandrayaan-1 lunar mission have found that high energy electrons from the Earth may be forming water on the Moon.

For years, it was believed that Moon is dry but space missions in the last few decades found water trapped inside the surface.

Scientists said the study suggests that other planetary systems should have received large amounts of water too.

A SpaceX rocket blasted off early on Friday carrying a U.S.-French satellite designed to conduct an unprecedented global survey of Earth's surface waters.

A satellite lifted off Friday from California on a mission to survey nearly all bodies of water on Earth, offering key insights on how they influence or are impacted by climate change.

SWOT will blast off from southern California on December 15 and will map the planet's surface water resources better than ever before.

A new study has claimed that Mars once had a global ocean up to 300 metres (almost 1,000 feet) deep, 4.5 billion years ago, if not more.

A water drop discovered on specks of dust from Ryugu, an asteroid close to Earth, has offered new support for the theory that life on the planet was seeded from outer space. The sample of the asteroid retrieved by the Hayabusa-2 probe has already showed that some of the building blocks of life on Earth, amino acids, may have been formed in space. T...
