A geologic map of the Pilbara Craton in Western Australia. The rocks exposed here range from 2.5 to 3.5 billion years ago, offering a uniquely well-preserved window into Earth's deep past. The ...

For instance, unlike other planetary geologic maps, Io’s surface features were characterized using four separate global image mosaics, combining the very best images collected from NASA’s ...

For example, the map reveals that the surface of Mars is older than previously thought. Three times as much surface area formed during the Early Noachian Epoch — the first major geologic time ...

More than 400 years after its discovery by Galileo, the largest moon in the solar system has finally claimed a spot on the map. A team of scientists has produced the first global geologic map of ...

Geologic maps are incredibly beautiful. I will never have enough walls in my house for all the geologic maps I'd love to hang. But these maps are also full of information about the surface of the ...

The map is to a scale of 1:2500000 and includes 12,341 impact craters, 81 impact basins, 17 rock types and 14 types of structures. The colours on the image represent different periods on the lunar ...

Scientists spent 15 years making the first geologic map of Europa. The map will help NASA pick places to explore on the icy, ocean-hiding moon of Jupiter.

The first global geologic map of Titan is based on radar and visible-light images from NASA’s Cassini mission, which orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017. Labels point to several of the named ...

Geologic map of the asteroid belt. Circles identify the asteroid families from which our meteorites originate and letters mark the corresponding meteorite type. The horizontal axis ranges from short ...

The U.S. Geology Survey (USGS) has announced that it will conduct low-level helicopter flights over parts of southern ...
