New research shows impacts from comets or asteroids could have created Europa's chaos terrain Impactors, such as comets or asteroids, can penetrate the frozen surface of Jupiter's moon Europa, finds a new paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.

New research identifies areas of global ocean most vulnerable to ocean acidification

The distribution of aragonite saturation state in both surface and subsurface waters of the global ocean provides further evidence that ocean acidification is happening on a global scale, shows a new paper in Global Biogeochemical Cycles.
