  JWST Reveals Powerful Winds and Dense Atmosphere on Scorching Exoplanet TOI-561b

  Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found compelling evidence that TOI-561b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet orbiting its star every 11 hours, still retains a dense atmosphere. Temperatures measured on both its day and night sides are far lower than expected for a bare rock, implying powerful winds and efficient heat transport. ...

  ‘Ghost’ Plume Found Beneath Oman May Explain India’s Ancient Tectonic Shift

  A buried magma plume beneath Oman’s Salma Plateau may have nudged India’s tectonic path during its collision with Eurasia, scientists report. Named “Dani,” the amagmatic plume caused no eruptions but likely altered continental motion 40 million years ago. This discovery redefines how silent, deep mantle forces can reshape continents without...

  NASA Satellite Detects Tree Leaf Changes as Early Volcano Eruption Warning Signal

  NASA and Smithsonian scientists find that greener trees seen in satellite images may warn of upcoming volcanic eruptions. The change is linked to rising carbon dioxide emissions from magma, which trees absorb and display through greener leaves. This method could enhance early warning systems and improve public safety near active volcanoes.

  Juno Mission Sheds Light on Jupiter’s Storms and Volcanic Activity on Io

  NASA’s Juno probe has uncovered colliding cyclones circling Jupiter’s north pole and flowing magma beneath the crust of its volcanic moon Io. Using thermal and microwave instruments, scientists have tracked atmospheric chaos and subsurface lava flows, offering new insights into the Jovian system’s extreme weather and volcanic activity. These ...

  Earth’s Mantle Could Be Harbouring Ocean of Magma Formed Billions of Years Ago, Claims Study

  The study conducted by Boukaré and published on March 26 in the Journal Nature suggests that this molten layer at the core-mantle boundary of the Earth formed the internal thermal structure of the planet and tectonic plates. This may still influence the geochemical process of the Earth today. Further, it suggests a similar magma ocean existence on...

  Mount Spurr Volcano in Alaska Shows Signs of Possible Eruption

  Mount Spurr, a stratovolcano west of Anchorage, has shown rising seismic activity, gas emissions, and melting snow, suggesting magma movement beneath the surface. Scientists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory believe an eruption is becoming more likely, with historical eruptions in 1953 and 1992 at Crater Peak having sent ash plumes over Anchorage. ...
