composition of the cores of the Earth and MoonNew approaches, which expand the ideas about the compositions and structures of the mantle of the Earth and terrestrial planets, are considered. New data indicate a more fractional structure of the deep layers of the Earth and the Moon. The ...

Data from the Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) showed that bright dust deposits on opposite sides of the planets had similar compositions, suggesting that the Martian dust comprises a global unit, and is not strongly influenced by the composition of local rocks37. Here we show that a large ...

Figure 2. These folded rock layers have bent over time. Studying rock layers helps scientists to explain these layers and the geologic history of the area. Volcanologists brave molten lava to study volcanoes. Scientists who compare the geology of other planets to Earth are planetary geologists. ...

Volcanoes and impact craters are major features of Martiangeology. A.Plate motion on Mars, once considered to have played no role in shaping the planet’s surface, is now seen as being directly associated with the planet’s earliest volcanoes. ...
In the next five years, China will integrate space science, technology and applications while pursuing the new development philosophy, building a new development model and meeting the requirements for high-quality development. It will start a new journey towards a space power. The space industry wil...
The Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) spacecraft landed successfully on Mars and imaged the surface to characterize the surficial geology. Here we report on the geology and subsurface structure of the
