In 2008, a Google Earth search led to the discovery of the Kamil Crater, one of the best-preserved meteorite impact sites ever found. Earlier this year, an expedition entered this remote part of the Egyptian desert to collect iron waste and determine the age of the crater and its origins.
A team of planetary geologists has produced a new global catalog of the large craters on the Moon that will help better understand the large-scale bombardment that characterized the early Solar System more than 4 billion years ago.
Recent images obtained by NASA's LRO lunar orbiter have revealed the existence of 14 lobe scarps or thrust faults (elevations with small inclination angle) in the highlands of the Moon.
A vast ocean probably covered a third of the surface of Mars about 3.5 billion years ago, according to a new study by scientists at the University of Colorado. The study is the first to combine the analysis of river deltas and valleys to detect the presence of an ocean supported by a global hydrosphere on ancient Mars.
Until now it was thought that the age of our planet was 4.53 billion years, but German, Swiss and British astronomers have just calculated that it is actually between 4.4 billion and 4.51 billion years old. That is, it is between 20 and 90 million years younger than previously believed.
Lake Tanganyika, in Africa, has registered its greatest warming in the last hundred years, and the maximum temperature, of 26 degrees Celsius, on its surface in the last 1,500 years, according to a study carried out by geologists from Brown University, in USA, and published in the journal 'Nature Geoscience'.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
