- Imaging Ganyemede’s Interior using Tides? 🛰️ Here, we propose measuring Ganymede’s response to tidal intercations with Jupiter using JUICE gravity data. In doing so, we can (maybe) tease out shell thickness variations, which would indicate a convecting ocean. Read more at: doi.org/10.1029/2025...

- Reposted by Alexander BerneHydrogen escape contributed to Mars' progressive aridity, but current H-loss rates cannot explain inferred past water abundances. A 3D model shows that during periods of increased axis tilt H-loss rates were up to 10x higher than at present.

- The Moon's nearside mantle is a giant volcano? 🌋 In this study, we infer a 100-200 C temperature anomaly in the Moon's nearside mantle. This anomaly suggests that geologic activity which formed the mare 3-4 billion years ago is still active today. nature.com/articles/s41...
