Magma flowed into the dike beneath Grindavík at a rate almost 100 times higher than what was seen in the eruptions that took place between 2021 and 2023. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Scientists have shown how the freezing of a ‘slushy’ ocean of magma may be responsible for the composition of the Moon’s crust. The scientists, from the University of Cambridge and the Ecole normale ...

In August 2023, India became the fourth nation to successfully soft-land on the Moon, putting a lander close to the lunar South Pole, an area of great interest for future human exploration.

Scientists discovered a magma cap almost 2.5 miles below the surface at Yellowstone National Park. Here’s what that means for the risk of another supervolcano eruption.

Around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth was — probably — one big ocean of magma. Geologists who study this primordial Earth use models, experimental simulations, and even samples from the Moon to figure ...

Scientists have worked out the consistency of the magma under the Yellowstone caldera using seismic waves — and the reservoir is filled with "mush" that doesn't pose an imminent eruption threat. When ...

(NEXSTAR) — There have long been questions about when Yellowstone’s volcanic system could see an eruption, especially after a massive hydrothermal explosion was caught on camera last summer.

The extra magma doesn’t mean it’s more likely to erupt, scientists say. In fact, the better measurement helps them to understand its future. By Robin George Andrews Magma is the explosive lifeblood of ...

Seismic signals collected over the last few years have led scientists to reconsider a previous idea about Mars. The planet is likely to still have magma, and it may plays an active role in changing ...
