Streaks on Mars Satellite Data Confirms First Ship-Based Detection of Landslide-Triggered Tsunami
For the first time, scientists have detected a tsunami generated by a landslide using satellite data from a ship's navigation system, marking a significant step forward in early warning technology for coastal communities. The breakthrough, led by researchers from CIRES and the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder), was published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Landslide- NASA Studies Uncover New Insights into Interiors of Moon and Vesta
NASA researchers have made significant strides in understanding the internal structures of the Moon and the asteroid Vesta through advanced gravity mapping, offering new insights into the formation and composition of these celestial bodies.
The first study, published May 14 in Nature, introduced a sophisticated gravity model of the Moon that captures tiny variations in its gravitational fi A Tough Drill at Witch Hazel Hill
After a busy few months exploring the outer slopes of the Jezero crater rim at an area named "Witch Hazel Hill," the Perseverance Science Team was eyeing another sample of these truly ancient rocks, which likely predate Jezero crater itself.
The target? A rock containing spherules, which could shed a light on volcanic- or impact-related processes occurring in Mars' most ancient past. After What a German Start-Up's First Test Could Mean for the Space Industry
On April 22nd, SpaceX's Bandwagon-3 rideshare mission took off from Cape Canaveral. Alongside the normal payload of satellites, there was a capsule from a German space start-up - Phoenix 1. This was the inaugural payload of ATMOS Space GmbH, and the first orbital test of its inflatable aerodynamic decelerator (IAD).
To re-enter from low-Earth orbit, most spacecraft either use a tile-based
