‘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...

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 ...

Microsoft Announces Magma Foundation Model That Can Complete Multimodal Agentic Tasks
Microsoft researchers announced a new foundation model on Wednesday that can perform agentic functions. Dubbed Magma, the artificial intelligence (AI) model is pre-trained on a large volume of datasets across text, images, videos, as well as spatial formats. The Redmond-based tech giant said that Magma is an extension of vision-language (VL) models...

NASA's Juno Detects Io's Most Powerful Volcanic Eruption Yet
NASA’s Juno spacecraft has recorded the most powerful volcanic eruption on Io, Jupiter’s most volcanic moon. The eruption site, detected on 27 December 2024, is fueled by a massive magma chamber spanning 105,000 square kilometers. The heat energy released is estimated at 80 trillion watts, exceeding Earth’s total power output. The volcanic ac...

Antarctic Ice Sheet Melting May Intensify Volcanic Eruptions, Study Finds
The melting of Antarctic ice sheets is linked to more intense and frequent volcanic eruptions, as found by recent research. Reduced ice mass alleviates pressure on magma chambers beneath the surface, causing them to expand and release volatile gases, which can lead to eruptions. A study has drawn connections between this process and increased volca...

Antarctica’s Melting Ice Could Awaken Hidden Volcanoes, Impact Climate Change
As Antarctica’s ice sheet continues to melt, scientists warn it could awaken over 100 hidden volcanoes beneath the surface. The loss of ice reduces pressure on magma chambers, allowing the magma to expand and potentially trigger eruptions. This could lead to increased volcanic activity, releasing gases and heat that may accelerate ice melt, weake...

Jupiter’s Moon Io Shows No Magma Ocean as New Findings Explain Volcanic Eruptions
NASA's latest findings indicate that Jupiter's volcanic moon Io does not have a global magma ocean beneath its surface, debunking previous theories. This conclusion comes from analysis of data from NASA's Juno spacecraft and archival observations from the Galileo mission. The study suggests that Io's interior is more solid than expected, with volca...

Study Finds Continents In Milky Way That Are Older Than Earth's
The research found that first continents formed around nearby Sun-like stars at least 5 billion years earlier than Earth's plate tectonics began.

Traces of Indigenous Gas Found in Meteorite to Shed Light on Moon’s Origin
A recent study has suggested that the Moon may have inherited some noble gases, such as neon and helium, deep from the Earth's mantle. The discovery was made by analysing lunar meteorites found in Antarctica. Upon analysing the glass particles, the team found chemical fingerprints or isotopic signatures of the solar gases in them.
