Scientists have shown how the freezing of a 'slushy' ocean of magma may be responsible for the composition of the Moon's crust. Scientists have shown how the freezing of a 'slushy' ocean of magma may ...

In the beginning, when planets were newborn, they glowed like furnaces, vast oceans of molten rock wrapped in heavy blankets of gas. For a long time, scientists believed those fiery worlds were too ...

Washington, DC— Our galaxy’s most abundant type of planet could be rich in liquid water due to formative interactions between ...

For more than a century, scientists have squabbled over how the Earth’s moon formed. But researchers at Yale and in Japan say they may have the answer. Many theorists believe a Mars-sized object ...

Ancient impacts brought gold and other precious metals to our planet, and a magma ocean produced with these impacts' heat trapped those metals and kept them safe. When you purchase through links on ...

Earth held a deep ocean of magma beneath its surface in its early history, new research finds, potentially explaining odd anomalies seen in the mantle today. This basal magma ocean has been hotly ...
