Mashup Score: 145Isotopic evidence of long-lived volcanism on Io - 28 day(s) ago
Jupiter’s moon Io hosts extensive volcanism, driven by tidal heating. The isotopic composition of Io’s inventory of volatile chemical elements, including sulfur and chlorine, reflects its outgassing and mass loss history, and thus records information …

Mashup Score: 135Dating the Solar System’s giant planet orbital instability using enstatite meteorites - 1 month(s) ago
The giant planets of the Solar System formed on initially compact orbits, which transitioned to the current wider configuration by means of an orbital instability. The timing of that instability is poorly constrained. In this work, we use dynamical …

Sulfur and chlorine isotopes in the atmosphere of Jupiter’s moon Io indicate that it has been volcanically active for the entire 4.57 billion-year history of the #SolarSystem, a new Science study finds. The results offer new insights into Io’s history. https://t.co/jrrziyOjnr https://t.co/rIDCt53CNQ

Mashup Score: 1
Earth’s potassium arrived by meteoritic delivery service finds new research led by Carnegie’s Earth and planetary scientists. Their work shows that some primitive meteorites contain a different mix of potassium isotopes than those found in other, more-chemically processed meteorites. These results can help elucidate the processes that shaped our Solar System and determined the composition of its…

Mashup Score: 19A measurement of the wind speed on a brown dwarf - 4 year(s) ago
Brown dwarfs are objects intermediate in mass between large planets and small stars, and their atmospheres share many characteristics with gas giant planets. Wind speeds in Solar System gas giant atmospheres can be derived by comparing the planet’s rotational periods in the infrared (tracing the upper atmosphere) and radio (tied to the interior). Allers et al. observed a nearby brown dwarf, 2MASS…

Mashup Score: 8
The Cold Classical Kuiper Belt, a class of small bodies in undisturbed orbits beyond Neptune, are primitive objects preserving information about Solar System formation. In January 2019, the New Horizons spacecraft flew past one of these objects, the 36-km long contact binary (486958) Arrokoth (provisional designation 2014 MU69). Images from the flyby show that Arrokoth has no detectable rings,…
