The Nicest Eruption in the World

Volcanic eruptions can be benign and beautiful, showcasing Earth's natural wonders rather than just its destructive potential.

The Decades-Long Journey to Publishing Michael Crichton and James Patterson'sEruption

The novel 'Eruption' by Michael Crichton, set in Hawaii, is a posthumous release with a plot involving volcanoes, government secrets, and a geologist facing peril.

Mars Appears to Be Missing a Moon, Astronomer Finds

Mars' triaxial shape may indicate a long-lost moon, potentially shaping its geography and geological features.

Early morning frost spotted on some of Mars's huge mountains

Frost is observed on Martian volcanoes' summits and equatorial regions, a first discovery indicating the planet's past climate conditions.

Why countries use volcanic heat to make geothermal energy

Geothermal energy harnesses Earth's heat, providing a renewable and low-pollution power source using volcanic activity.
Using geothermal energy avoids the dangers and unpredictability of directly harnessing volcanic eruptions.

These Volcanic Vodkas Are Literally on the Rocks

Volcanic resources can contribute to the making of vodka, including geothermal energy and volcanic water for a distinct flavor profile.
Volcanic soil and climate play a role in the growth of raw materials used in vodka production, providing nutrients and filtration through lava rocks.

Volcanoes on Venus Might Be Erupting Right Now

Venus is more geologically active than previously thought.

Evidence mounts that Venus has active volcanoes

Venus has more active and widespread volcanoes than previously thought based on data from the 1990s.

NASA Spacecraft Swoops So Close to Io That It Can See Volcanic Eruptions

Jupiter's moon Io is the most volcanically active place in our Solar System.
NASA's Juno probe captured an image of twin eruptions on Io's surface.

Jupiter's Supervolcanic Moon Io Dazzles in Photos from NASA's Close Flybys

The Juno spacecraft completed its second close flyby of Io, providing scientists with valuable data on the moon's volcanoes and potential magma ocean.
Juno's original mission was to explore Jupiter, but it has now expanded to include studying three of Jupiter's moons and its rings.

NASA Spots Signs of Twin Volcanic Plumes on Jupiter's Moon Io

NASA's Juno orbiter made a second close-up flyby of Jupiter's moon Io, capturing more views of its volcanic landscape.
The flyby revealed a double volcanic plume spewing into space, which Juno has never observed before.

Look! NASA Snapped A Rare Closeup of the Solar System's Most Terrifying Moon

NASA's Juno spacecraft flew over the southern hemisphere of Jupiter's moon Io, capturing images of volcanoes and lava lakes.
Io's constant volcanic activity is caused by the gravitational pull of Jupiter and its two other moons, which generate powerful tides and enough heat to power the moon's lava flows.

Life on Earth may have started when lightning hit volcano eruptions

Lightning from volcanic eruptions in ancient times emitted extreme levels of nitrogen, which triggered the earliest lifeforms.
Nitrogen combined with lightning strikes reacts with oxygen and produces nitrogen oxide, creating an environment suitable for life to develop and sustain.

At Volcanic Eruptions in Iceland and Beyond, Efforts to Control Lava Remain Challenging

Lava flows from a volcano in southwest Iceland are threatening a town and a geothermal power plant.
Efforts to divert or stop lava flows have been attempted in the past, but the success rate is uncertain.

Scientists Say There May Be Life Under Mercury's Salt Glaciers

Evidence of salt glaciers on Mercury's surface suggest the possibility of subsurface areas that may be hospitable to life.
NASA's Mercury probe revealed the presence of volatile compounds on the planet, contrary to previous beliefs.
Layers of salt on Mercury's surface were formed from water vapors containing sodium that condensed into temporary pools of water.
