Dr Chris MacLeod, from Cardiff University, said the Earth's crust appeared to be completely missing in an area thousands of kilometres across. He said it was an "open wound on the surface of the Earth", where the oceanic crust, usually 6-7km thick (3.7-4.3 miles), was simply not there. picked by Browntrout 2 years ago

By using a specialized microscope that illuminates only a cell’s surface, scientists have become the first to see, in real time and in plain view, hundreds of thousands of molecules coming together in a living cell to form a single particle of the virus that has, in less than 25 years, claimed more than 25 million lives: HIV.

The LALT is able to obtain a range of data on a global scale along the satellite's trajectory including the high latitude region above 75 degrees that has never been measured by an altimeter. The continuous range data of the LALT will enable us for the first time in the world to construct an accurate and precise global topographic map of the Moon. picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago

Powerful magnetic waves have been confirmed for the first time as major players in the process that makes the sun's atmosphere strangely hundreds of times hotter than its already superhot surface. The magnetic waves — called Alfven waves — can carry enough energy from the sun's active surface to heat its atmosphere, or corona. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

On the surface, the ExoMars rover looks similar to NASA's Spirit and Opportunity rovers, with a six-wheeled design and outstretched solar wings. It also has a suite of scientific instruments designed to search for life on the surface of Mars. picked by DrNothing 1 year ago

Could we hack geology? Could we use plate tectonics to re-direct whole island chains, color rocks, print cities out of magma, and build mountains where mountains have no right to be? Here are the Entropist's top five ways to change the surface of the earth. picked by tahafcuk 8 months ago

The sand dunes of Mars are in no rush to move across the Red Planet's surface, new research shows. It can take up to 1,000 years for dunes to move just a few meters on Mars, largely due to the planet's apparent lack of moving surface water, weak winds and thin atmosphere. picked by AutumnLotus 11 months ago
