Io, discovered by Galileo Galilei on January 7-13, 1610, is the innermost of the four Galilean satellites of the planet Jupiter. It is the most volcanically active object in the Solar System, as…

Product Information: This synthetic colorized version of the C3-MIDR mosaic was developed to simulate the surface of Venus. This mosaic was created from the Magellan Full resolution Basic Image Data…

This orthorectified image was created by projecting an image from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Context Camera (CTX) onto a Digital Terrain Model (DTM). The DTM is available under the “Derived…

As USGS scientist and planetary cave enthusiast, Glen Cushing, points out, "Caves are important to the future of planetary exploration because they are believed to provide shelter from a range of…

Project Overview The goal of this research project is to advance our understanding of pyroclastic volcanism on the Moon using remote sensing data, primarily the high-spatial-resolution (~100 m/pixel)…

The Crater Database The database tables include the name (where applied), coordinates, diameter, modification state, crater morphologic type, and mean elevation of 967 craters interpreted to be of…

Sub-glacially erupted volcanoes form free-standing flat-topped mesas, known as tuyas. Although there are some silicic edifices (e.g. Tuffen et al., 2002), most terrestrial sub-ice volcanoes are mafic…

Detailed comparisons of laboratory SO2 spectra with the Cassini observations indicate that a mixture of gases contribute to the equatorial emissions: Potassium (K) is suggested by new detections of…
