A thick, insulating crust of methane ice warms Titan's interior, softening the underlying ice and causing impact craters to rapidly flatten and heal over time. https://t.co/s7PkWIxdIL

Computer models show that a planet-induced pressure bump near Jupiter trapped cosmic dust, creating a "factory" that formed the solar system's diverse carbonaceous meteorites. https://t.co/Iiu6uKNZTX

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers discovered that the "hot Jupiter" exoplanet WASP-94A b experiences a daily weather cycle where rock-mineral clouds form in the morning and vaporize by evening. https://t.co/6e06UlcdJm

Using a technique called Shape-from-Shading, scientists created detailed 3D lunar maps to help mission planners select safe landing sites for Artemis astronauts at the Moon's south pole. https://t.co/jqAlk3QvkF

Scientists have developed a new statistical model that predicts winter weather up to six months in advance by forecasting the behavior of the stratospheric polar vortex. https://t.co/uenNtKR1fi

New images of Shalbatana Vallis from ESA's Mars Express orbiter reveal well-preserved geological clues of past water and lava activity on ancient Mars. https://t.co/YxJNcoQte1

Dr. Kurt Retherford: “The new data has made us reconsider the strength of the previous paper’s conclusion regarding water vapor plumes.” https://t.co/ZiZpL6clBE

“We’re trying to figure out how these big gas giants got there. We’re studying the formation and migration pathways of big planets,” said Paul Smith. https://t.co/rAYecRW7eA

“We are now exactly on target for the flyby, and we’ve programmed the flight computer with everything that the spacecraft will do throughout May,” said Sarah Bairstow. https://t.co/VWot4NVEvk

“Up until now, we used a global circulation model (GCM) for Venus that is similar to Earth’s, but this model doesn’t include the hydraulic jump which we have now identified,” said Dr. Takeshi Imamura. https://t.co/T4fKAvjyVy

Dr. Fabian Klenner: “We’re showing that life does not only produce molecules. Life also produces an organizational principle that we can see by applying statistics.” https://t.co/PuPl2CW1lU

“VIPER is a critical off-world resource mapping mission and will operate in the south polar region of the Moon to characterize potential resources and inform subsequent ISRU architectures for sustained human exploration.” https://t.co/fztJ90k4Ex

Dr. Chelsea X. Huang: “This was a one-of-a-kind system. Hot Jupiters are ‘lonely,’ meaning they don’t have companion planets inside their orbits.” https://t.co/9JGJRb5KLy

"There's a rapidly growing variety of interventions out there to mitigate greenhouse gases, and potentially affect public health as well,” said Dr. Jonathan J. Buonocore. https://t.co/7ix7xrml7t

“Marine animals are already being tracked to understand their behavior in relation to environmental conditions, but this study reveals how these data can also be leveraged for forecasting and climate applications,” said Dr. Neil Hammerschlag. https://t.co/8esDgANvDY

“We found that the earlier a region became shadowed, the larger the area that was able to accumulate ice,” said Dr. Oded Aharonson. https://t.co/Qurd6zSdOh

Sebastian Zieba: “Since LHS 3844 b lacks such a silicate crust, one may conclude that Earth-like plate tectonics does not apply to this planet, or it is ineffective. This planet likely only contains little water.” https://t.co/SymN7w71wa

A study found that whale sharks' natural swimming and diving behaviors remain unaffected by drones flown at various altitudes. https://t.co/1QcmzDNVGI
