Characterization of Mass Wasting Events on Lunar Maria Using Mini‐RF Radar Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Evidence of mass wasting has been observed on the Moon since at least the Apollo era. Surface features indicative of mass wasting processes are traditionally characterized geomorphologically using visible images. In this study, we aim to better understand mass wasting features via their radar properties, which can provide insights into the ...

Saponite Bearing Material Excavated During the Formation of a Recent 25‐m‐Diameter Impact Crater in Southeastern Arabia Terra on Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM), Context Imager (CTX), and High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment observations were analyzed for a 25‐m‐wide impact crater and associated ejecta deposits located in the dust‐covered Arabia Terra region.

An Aeolian Depositional Sequence Shaped by Near‐Surface Water at the Base of the Layered Sulfate Unit, Gale Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The basal strata of the orbitally defined Layered Sulfate unit (LSu) in Gale crater, Mars, marks the end of a major mineralogical transition from clay‐to sulfate‐bearing stratigraphy. This has previously been attributed to a period of significant aridification of Gale's climate. Here, we present ground‐based observations by the Curiosity rover

Aspect Asymmetry in Martian Gullies: A Topographic Signature of Their Formation Process?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract On Mars, erosional‐depositional landforms named gullies provide natural experiments for studying the topographic signature of the processes that act on hillslope evolution. High‐resolution topographic data were used to quantitatively compare the steepness of opposing walls in gully alcoves incised into ice‐rich slopeside mantling deposits.

The Extreme GIC Occurrence During 11 years of Observations in the North‐West of Russia

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract For the first time, events with extreme magnitudes of geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in the power lines during the quasi‐solar cycle (2012–2022) at auroral and subauroral latitudes are analyzed. GIC recordings from auroral Vykhodnoy (Murmansk region) and subauroral Kondopoga (Karelia) sub‐stations together with data from near‐by ...

A High‐Efficiency Multivariable TEC‐SOFTS Model for Ionospheric TEC Prediction: Validation Over China Area During Low and High Solar Activity Periods

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) is a key parameter for characterizing the ionospheric properties. In this study, an efficient multivariable time series prediction model, TEC‐Series Core Fusion and efficient multivariable time series (TEC‐SOFTS), was constructed by combining multiple geomagnetic and solar activity indices ...

Validating a Non‐Conventional Method for Expansion of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and Investigating the Evolution of a CME Substructures Using Solar Orbiter and Wind Observations

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We present a validation of our recently proposed non‐conventional method, Constant Acceleration Accounted Perspective (CAAP), for estimating the instantaneous expansion speed of coronal mass ejection (CMEs), even when only single‐point in situ observations are available. This validation is enabled by the radial alignment of Solar Orbiter (SolO)

Updates, Examples and Validation of the Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study provides an updated description, example simulations, and validation of the Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model (GITM). The updates to GITM include using an exothermic semi‐implicit chemistry scheme that no longer requires an altitude dependent heating efficiency; an ionospheric wind‐driven dynamo; improved neutral, ion, and ...

The Role of Chemistry Across Disciplines From Humanities to Life Sciences in Understanding Complexity and Emergence

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 17, 20 April 2026.
This study explores the origins of life by linking prebiotic chemistry, the emergence of information‐carrying molecules such as RNA and proteins, and philosophical questions about consciousness. The study emphasizes the role of molecular evolution in the Central Dogma and provides insights into the chemical origins of biology and the basis of life's ...

Modeling the Detectability of Energetic Heliospheric Ions at Pluto During the New Horizons Flyby

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We investigate the detectability of heliospheric helium ions at energies up to 100 keV by the New Horizons (NH) spacecraft during its flyby through Pluto's induced magnetosphere. The Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation energetic ion detector observed a reduction in their flux by an order of magnitude as the spacecraft ...
