pantaloons sailed around the planet, ordering up silk and spices. Yet drones and robots are ushering in a new era of investigation, enabling mankind to go farther out in space,dive deeperdown into the ocean, and even uncover new facts in places where researchers have looked many times before...
“Magma oceans were common among the terrestrial planets — Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and the moon — soon after the planets formed,” IVO principal investigator Alfred McEwen said in astatement, “and are an integral piece of planet formation and evolution. They are responsible for the for...
