Take a Stroll Through the Solar System – on the UArizona Campus Sept. 12, 2023 Zarah Brown, a doctoral student at the UArizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, led the installation of 11 plaques depicting various objects of the solar system across the UArizona campus. Read more Image Icy Moonquakes: Surface Shaking Could Trigger Landslides April 14, 2023 Quakes could be the source of the mysteriously smooth terrain on the moons circling Jupiter and Saturn, according to a new study led by PTYS Graduate Student Mackenzie Mills. Read more Image LPL Students Observe and Track “Near-Miss” Asteroid March 24, 2023 As a sizable asteroid makes a close pass by Earth, PTYS Graduate students David Cantillo and Adam Battle were ready to observe the action to practice and test procedures that could be useful in mitigating an impending asteroid impact in the future. Read more Image Mapping Rock Glaciers to Understand Their Future on Earth and Mars Nov. 16, 2022 LPL Graduate Student Tyler Meng and his advisor Jack Holt developed a new method for analyzing rock glaciers, which could help scientists better understand these "hidden giants" on Earth and Mars. Read more Image Scientists Identify Potential Source of 'Shock-darkened' Meteorites, with Implications for Hazardous Asteroid Deflection Oct. 4, 2022 Study led by PTYS graduate student Adam Battle identified a potential source of a special kind of meteorite. Its characteristics could explain certain discrepancies in how near-Earth asteroids are classified.

Read more Image Near-Earth Asteroid Might be a Lost Fragment of the Moon Nov. 11, 2021 A research team led by LPL graduate student Ben Sharkey thinks that the near-Earth asteroid Kamo`oalewa might actually be a miniature moon. Read more Image Plumes on Icy Worlds Hold Clues About What Lies Beneath Dec. 16, 2020 A new model shows how brine on Jupiter’s moon Europa can migrate within the icy shell to form pockets of salty water that erupt to the surface when freezing. The findings are important for the upcoming Europa Clipper mission and may explain cryovolcanic eruptions across icy bodies in the solar system.
