Kilauea’s Latest Lava Fountain Fades After Nearly Six Hours, Marking Another Pulse in an Unsettled Summit Eruption

Kilauea’s Halemaumau crater lava fountain shut down after nearly six hours on Saturday morning, ending Episode 55 of the volcano’s ongoing eruption at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The event underscores how the summit system continues to cycle through short, intense bursts of activity after a rare two-month pause, offering fresh evidence of a highly dynamic magma supply beneath one of the world’s most closely watched volcanoes.

Oklahoma Crater Recast as Far Younger, Sharpening Its Link to a Mass Extinction Era

New research suggests a buried meteor crater in Oklahoma may be about 100 million years younger than scientists previously believed, potentially moving its formation into a period associated with a major extinction event. The revised dating does not by itself prove a causal link, but it significantly changes the crater’s scientific importance and could reshape how researchers interpret impact history in North America.

Dinosaur-Killing Impact Crater May Have Sustained Life for Millions of Years

A new scientific analysis suggests the Chicxulub impact crater, formed by the asteroid strike that helped end the age of dinosaurs, may have remained a hot, nutrient-rich habitat for more than five million years after the collision. The findings strengthen the view that catastrophic impacts can also create long-lived environments favorable to microbial life. Researchers say the crater’s post-impact hydrothermal system could have circulated heated water through fractured rock for an extended period, offering a sustained energy source in the aftermath of one of Earth’s most violent events.

Oklahoma Crater Re-dated to a Mass-Extinction Era, Rewriting a Deep-Time Impact Story

A long-buried impact crater in Oklahoma has been re-dated far later than scientists previously believed, placing the strike in a period associated with one of Earth’s major mass extinctions. The revised timeline strengthens the crater’s scientific value as a record of catastrophic planetary change and underscores how improved dating can reshape climate and extinction history.

Lunar Orbiter Spots Fresh Moon Crater, Offering Rare Window Into Subsurface and Future Bases

A lunar orbiter has detected a newly formed crater on the Moon, a rare event scientists describe as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study how impacts expose material from beneath the surface. The discovery could help researchers better understand the Moon's shallow subsurface and inform future plans for lunar bases and infrastructure.

Perseverance Finds Jezero Crater Was Shaped by More Than an Ancient Lake — It Held Hot Water, Too

NASA's Perseverance rover has uncovered evidence that Mars' Jezero Crater was not simply home to a long-vanished lake, but also experienced complex interactions with hot water and groundwater. The findings, published in Nature and highlighted by NASA, deepen the scientific case that early Mars had a far more dynamic and potentially habitable water system than researchers previously understood.
