A major focal point in this search is Europa's surface plumes, which are the result of cryovolcanism. By positioning a lander near an active cryovolcano or sending a probe to fly through one ...

Photos show that comet C/2025 F2 (SWAN) experienced a "major eruption," causing it to become temporarily brighter. However, ...

This includes a recent study that analyzed potential cryovolcanism on Umbriel and Oberon based on similar geological features on the dwarf planet Ceres. Additionally, the moon Miranda looks like ...

Triton, a possible ocean world with a retrograde orbit, shows signs of cryovolcanism, where fluids such as water, ammonia and methane erupt instead of molten rock. While not officially approved ...

This year's Lunar Planetary Science Conference (2025 LPSC) saw some truly astounding presentations and proposals. These covered a wide range of science and exploration missions that address the ...

Abstract: Scientists have long suspected that there is some form of cryovolcanism on Saturn's giant moon, Titan. Now data from Cassini flybys have produced the first evidence, reports Peter Bond.

Miranda, the deformed and most undersized of Uranus' large moons, features a patchwork of ridges, valleys, and great cliffs. Scientists consider its mixed-up surface to be the product of intense ...
