What can lava planets, rocky exoplanets that are tidally locked and orbit so close to their stars that the intense heat melts ...

Lava planets don’t play by the rules of our solar system. These scorching-hot worlds, some no bigger than Earth, orbit so ...

A new paper led by a York University professor and published today in Nature Astronomy introduces a simple theoretical ...

Kamokuna ocean entry on the southeast side of the Big Island. The lava is gushing from a tube that was exposed when a huge, 26-acre lava delta collapsed into the ocean at the site on New Year’s Eve.

Modelling suggests that data collected by JWST will be able to distinguish between planets that are molten to the core and ...

A river of lava that is trickling out of a volcano on the Spanish island of La Palma has reached the Atlantic Ocean, sending plumes of white smoke high into the air.

Since the late 1970s, scientists have believed that Io could have an ocean of lava hidden beneath its surface, causing much of the Jovian moon’s surface-level volcanic activity.

The lava haze, or "laze," from the plume spread as far as 15 miles (24 kilometers) west of where the lava met the ocean on the Big Island's southern coast.

Geophysics professor Jeffrey Johnson and geoscience postdoctoral research fellow Janine Andrys tackle three questions asked by kids, all about volcanoes ...

A plume of steam rises as lava enters the ocean near Pahoa, Hawaii, Sunday, May 20, 2018. Kilauea volcano that is oozing, spewing and exploding on Hawaii’s Big Island has ...

The lava is gushing from a tube that was exposed when a huge, 26-acre lava delta collapsed into the ocean at the site on New Year’s Eve. The collapse of the newly formed land triggered massive ...

A recent experiment conducted by MIT researchers has led some experts to believe an ocean of lava may have been flowing on Mercury's surface some four billion years ago. The finding came as ...
