A satellite has tracked a tsunami in greater detail than ever before, which could help improve models of these giant waves and allow for better prediction and warning systems.
Irish planetary scientists have christened a spider-like feature on Jupiter’s icy moon Europa as “Damhán Alla”, which translates to “spider” or “wall demon”.

A Massive Tsunami Swept the Pacific — And NASA's Satellite Mapped the Giant Wave's Geometry
NASA ’s SWOT system plotted the images of the storm against a tsunami forecast model from the NOAA. The study demonstrated that even tsunamis generated by very large earthquakes can contain a rich ...
A new study reveals how shifting ice shells on icy moons can cause dramatic pressure changes, sometimes enough to boil their hidden oceans. The outer planets of our Solar System are accompanied by ...
The uniquely vulnerable West Antarctic Ice Sheet holds enough water to raise global sea levels by 5 meters. But when that ...
Small icy moons may have hidden oceans that briefly boil under thick ice. Changing pressure inside these moons shapes their ...
When ice freezes and melts, it creates vortices that drag warmer waters from the depths to the surface, where they eat away ...
Recent satellite images from NASA’s Earth Observatory reveal a shocking decline in Antarctic sea ice, hitting its ...
There are several frozen moons in our solar system, orbiting the gas giants. Some of them, despite having temperatures that would make Antarctica feel tropical, have liquid water under the surface.
The outer planets of the Solar System are swarmed by ice-wrapped moons. Some of these, such as Saturn’s moon Enceladus, are ...
This is not good news for the future of our planet.
For the gullible, global warming has become an evangelical theological movement outside of normally accepted skeptical ...
