Scientists have worked out the consistency of the magma under the Yellowstone caldera using seismic waves — and the reservoir is filled with "mush" that doesn't pose an imminent eruption threat. When ...

Please join the Lowell Center for Space Science & Technology for a virtual seminar by Margaret "Maggie" Thompson, Ph.D. at 11 a.m. on Thursday, February 6. Abstract One of the most characterizable ...

Early in the formation of Earth, an ocean of magma covered the planet’s surface and stretched thousands of miles deep into its core. The rate at which that “magma ocean” cooled affected the formation ...

New experiments provide insight into how Earth-type planets form when giant asteroids or planetesimals collide and how the interiors of such planets develop. Researchers at Hiroshima University, Osaka ...

One of the most explosive volcanoes in U.S. history began its eruption with a trickle, not a blast. Mount St. Helens' gas-laden magma oozed into the cone before the mountain finally erupted in 1980.

An illustration of Earth as it existed during part of its formation billions of years ago, when an ocean of magma covered the surface of the planet and stretched thousands of miles deep into the core.
