The spectacular aftermath of a supernova was just seen at its earliest stage ever
This image made by the Hubble Space Telescope shows the tattered remains of a supernova explosion known as Cassiopeia A. Life in this universe begins and ends with supernovae. In a spectacular eruption powerful enough to outshine a galaxy, a star is killed – and new elements are forged.

OURS is a restless planet. While we walk unawares over the remnants of massive eruptions, it is easier than ever to train a camera on Mount Etna’s latest effusions.
What do Martian meteorites tell us about volcanism on the Red Planet?
A rock that fits in the palm of a scientist’s hand and weighs less than a pound is helping paint a picture of the history of volcanism on Mars. That’s because the little igneous rock broke off the Red Planet when something slammed into the Martian surface about 1.1 million years ago.

A Proposal For Juno To Observe The Volcanoes Of Io
To accomplish its science objectives, NASA’s Juno spacecraft orbits over Jupiter’s poles and passes repeatedly through repeatedly hazardous radiation belts. Two Boston University researchers propose using Juno to probe the ever-changing flux of volcanic gases-turned-ions spewed by Io’s volcanoes.
