Imaging Magma from Afar

by Peter Zeitler 20 December 202419 December 2024

Reservoirs of magma and fluids in the crust create gravity anomalies detectable by altimetry, which can help find submarine volcanoes and provide key insights into their depth, shape and volume.

Core Movements Could Be Causing Tiny Shifts in Earth’s Spin Speed

Sarah Derouin, Science Writer by Sarah Derouin 9 December 20249 December 2024

Researchers use ancient eclipse data and new machine learning techniques to understand what processes changed the length of Earth’s days over the past 3,000 years.

The Relatively Messy Problem with Lunar Clocks

by Matthew R. Francis 14 November 202414 November 2024

Using Einstein’s theory of general relativity, physicists found that clocks on the Moon would run 56 microseconds faster than clocks on Earth. That finding will help future lunar missions navigate.

Timing the Global Expansion on the Moon

by Laurent G. J. Montési 11 October 202411 October 2024

A new analysis of the relation between randomly oriented linear gravity anomalies and two large craters on the Moon implies that the gravity anomalies formed over a long period of time.

The Moon’s Tides Hint at a Melty Lunar Layer

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 30 September 202419 February 2025

New lunar gravity measurements support the idea that a partially molten mantle layer is sandwiched between the rest of the Moon’s mantle and its core.

The Moon’s Mantle Did a Flip—and Scientists May Now Have Evidence

Javier Barbuzano, Science Writer by Javier Barbuzano 8 May 20248 May 2024

For decades, a lunar whodunit has puzzled scientists: Did the Moon’s internal layers flip during its formation? Old data might hold the evidence to solve this cold case.
