Garnet had never been confirmed in a Martian meteorite until researchers examining NWA 8171 at the Royal Ontario Museum found andradite inside a fragment smaller than one millimetre. Some surrounding minerals carry Martian chemistry, but scientists cannot yet tell whether it records an unknown magma, ancient fluid alteration, metamorphism—or debris from an asteroid that struck Mars.
10+ hour, 42+ min ago (766+ words) Andradite in the NWA 8171 Martian breccia is secure, but its tiny host clast could record Martian magma, alteration, metamorphism or material delivered by an impactor.

Olympus Mons grew so massive that parts of its lower flanks catastrophically collapsed, sending broken rock sliding hundreds of kilometres across the Martian plains—possibly lubricated when hot lava melted buried ice.
4+ day, 18+ hour ago (718+ words) Orbital evidence links Olympus Mons's aureole to immense flank failures. Water or ice may explain the long runout, but lava-driven melting remains one proposed mechanism....
Researchers placed 650 geophones along Yellowstone's roads and sent a vibrating truck to 110 different spots to deliberately shake America's most-visited supervolcano, and the echoes revealed a layer 2.4 miles down that is roughly 86 percent solid rock.
4+ day, 19+ hour ago (177+ words) What lies beneath Yellowstone's surface—and how close is the molten rock to breaking through? By Life Signs · Edited by Nato Lagidze Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit That imaging revealed a distinct, laterally continuous reflector less than about 100 meters thick…...
A fossil pincer more than 159 millimetres long has been identified as a scorpion's, after a century in which the animal was most often filed among the crustaceans, and the scorpion reading was still being rejected in 2024
6+ day, 5+ hour ago (690+ words) Announcements from Manchester and the Natural History Museum call Praearcturus gigas the largest scorpion ever to exist, about a metre long. The revision they are announcing states no total body length for it, and no specimen preserves a sting. By…...
A cave in New Zealand preserved a lost world from a million years ago — ancient parrots, giant flightless rails and a bird community reshaped by supereruptions and Ice Age climate swings long before humans ever reached the islands
1+ week, 8+ hour ago (165+ words) New Zealand's fossil record rewrites itself: a cave revealed birds that vanished millions of years before humans set foot on the islands, reshaped by forces far more violent than any spear....
Deep in the Amazon, researchers found birds and monkeys passing predator warnings from one species to another — a single alarm can ripple through the canopy as other animals hear it, react and pass the danger on
1+ week, 3+ day ago (198+ words) Across the canopy, a single alarm call becomes an emergency broadcast system as creatures who never saw the danger relay warnings to neighbors they'll never meet....
Scientists found a 3.7-billion-year-old chemical fingerprint in Australia’s oldest rocks that lines up with Apollo samples when traced back through time — strengthening evidence that Earth and the Moon were mixed together in a giant ancient impact
1+ week, 3+ day ago (381+ words) A distant lunar sample and Earth's most ancient rocks are telling the same isotopic story—one that only makes sense if a catastrophic collision once scrambled our planet and its future Moon together....
Models of the flood that refilled the Mediterranean put its peak flow through Gibraltar at roughly 100 million cubic metres a second — around 1,000 times the Amazon's average discharge — with erosion at the Camarinal Sill reaching roughly 0.4 metres a day
2+ week, 6+ day ago (105+ words) When an ancient sea vanished, its return was so catastrophic that it reshaped geology itself—yet scientists still debate exactly how violent the deluge truly was....
Researchers have documented mugger crocodiles and American alligators positioning sticks and twigs on or around their snouts during birds’ nesting season — apparently using the sought-after nesting material as bait to lure birds within striking distance.
3+ week, 1+ day ago (789+ words) Crocodiles may be smarter than we thought—or we may be reading too much into their stick-gathering habits near nesting birds. By Life Signs · Edited by Mal James Published August 22, 2026 · How we edit A crocodile lies still in shallow water…...
Jupiter pulls so hard on Io that the moon’s solid ground rises and falls by as much as 100 metres every orbit — a tide in rock the height of a 30-storey building, and the repeated flexing powers the most volcanically active world in the Solar System
3+ week, 2+ day ago (1555+ words) Io's ground can move by as much as 100 metres as Jupiter's changing tide flexes the moon, converting orbital energy into the heat that drives its volcanoes. By Lachlan Brown · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published August 21, 2026 · How we edit Io looks…...
