Iran Launches Geomatics Observatory for Surveying

TEHRAN (ANA)- A geomatics observatory has been set up in Iran with the aim of surveying different fields in the country.
Planetary System's Second Earth-Size World Discovered

Planetary System's Second Earth-Size World Discovered

TEHRAN (ANA)- Using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, scientists identified an Earth-size world, called TOI 700 e, orbiting within the habitable zone of its star -- the range of distances where liquid water could occur on a planet's surface.
Astronomers Think Two Exoplanets May Be Mostly Water

Astronomers Think Two Exoplanets May Be Mostly Water

TEHRAN (ANA)- A team led by UdeM astronomers found evidence that two exoplanets orbiting a red dwarf star are ‘water worlds’ planets where water makes up a large fraction of the volume.

Study Explains Strange Magnetic Anomalies on Moon

TEHRAN (ANA)- A new study led by geoscientist Zhuang Guo of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Geochemistry could help us better understand unusually strong magnetic field readings that don't fit with other characteristics of the Moon.
Scientists Unearth Cause of Our Planet’s First Mass Extinction Event

Scientists Unearth Cause of Our Planet’s First Mass Extinction Event

TEHRAN (ANA)- Geologists at Virginia Tech potentially uncovered what initiated the Earth’s first-ever mass extinction event, which occurred around 550 million years ago.
Study of 'Polluted' White Dwarfs Finds Stars, Planets Grow Together

Study of 'Polluted' White Dwarfs Finds Stars, Planets Grow Together

TEHRAN (ANA)- A team of astronomers from the University of Cambridge found that planet formation in our young Solar System started much earlier than previously thought, with the building blocks of planets growing at the same time as their parent star.
Scientists Figure Out When, How Our Sun Will Die

Scientists Figure Out When, How Our Sun Will Die

TEHRAN (ANA)- Scientists at the University of Manchester have made predictions about what the final days of our Solar System will look like, and when it will happen, saying that we humans won't be around to see the Sun's curtain call.
Marsquakes Hint Planet Might Be Volcanically Active after All

Marsquakes Hint Planet Might Be Volcanically Active after All

TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers at Harvard University analyzed a slew of recent temblors on the Red Planet and shown that these Marsquakes are probably caused by magma moving deep under the Martian surface, an evidence that Mars is still volcanically active.
Moon Soil Catalyzes Reactions Needed to Sustain Lunar Settlement

Moon Soil Catalyzes Reactions Needed to Sustain Lunar Settlement

TEHRAN (ANA)- Scientists at Nanjing University were able to carry out reactions needed to sustain human life on the Moon by using solar energy, water, and lunar soil.
Mars’s Surface May Be Similar to Earth’s Original Crust

Mars’s Surface May Be Similar to Earth’s Original Crust
