NASA's Perseverance May Have Discovered a Long-Dormant Volcano on Mars
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has been feeding us with several discoveries from the Red Planet ever since it landed on it in February this year. After nearly 10 months of driving around the Jezero Crater, researchers are beginning to understand that the region had been formed from red-hot magma, possibly from a long-dormant Martian volcano.

Dwarf Planet Ceres May Hold A Towering Ice Volcano
Lots of folks may still be salty over Pluto's "demotion" from planet to dwarf planet, but it's becoming apparent that the little worlds with this designation are anything but boring. In a set of six studies published Thursday in Science, researchers report that Ceres - a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter - plays host to man...
