Survivability of Amino Acids in Lunar Soil

The Planetary Science Journal
We present a laboratory investigation on the survivability of amino acids in lunar simulant soil under conditions similar to the lunar surface. Survival rates of various amino acids are quantified using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography in ...

Using Visual Assessments and Tutorials to Teach Solar System Concepts in Introductory Astronomy

Astronomy Education Review, 2010
Visual assessments and tutorials are instruments that rely on student construction and/or examination of pictures and/or diagrams rather than multiple choice and/or short answer questions. Being a very visual subject, astronomy lends itself to assessments and tutorials of this type.

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Atomic absorption spectrometry—AAS

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page 2206-2224, May 2026.
Abstract Elements absorb electromagnetic radiation (light) of a specific wavelength in proportion to the number of atoms in its path. As the atoms absorb this light energy, electrons rise from the ground state to an excited state. In atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), high temperatures produce clouds of atoms from the sample (atomization) and ...

Springtime Formation of Laminated Soil Carbonate Rinds and Changes in Fluvial Terrace Soils on Orbital Timescales at Rio Mesa, Utah, USA

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Laminated soil carbonate rinds are a Quaternary paleoclimate archive whose isotope composition is linked to soil formation conditions. At Rio Mesa, Utah (USA), we investigated the fidelity of rind records in a river terrace setting by determining the seasonal timing of rind formation and testing for inter‐record replication.

Cryptic Paleomagnetic Complexity in the Ediacaran Egersund Dikes

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The Ediacaran Period (∼635–539 Ma) represents a critical interval in Earth's evolution, yet its paleomagnetic record remains complex and contentious. One of the few Ediacaran paleomagnetic results from Baltica considered robust is a pole from the ca.

Martian Dust Storm Spatial‐Temporal Analysis of Tentative Landing Areas for China's Tianwen‐3 Mars Mission

Earth and Space Science
China's first Mars sampling return mission (Tianwen‐3) is designed to launch and retrieve samples around 2030. Three tentative landing areas (TLAs) (Amazonis, Chryse and Utopia Planitiae, i.e., TLA‐A, TLA‐C and TLA‐U) are selected based on elevation

Detection of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles Using the COSMIC‐2 Rate of TEC Index

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) are large‐scale plasma depletion structures that can disrupt Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and other space‐based technologies. Several instruments have been employed to study EPB dynamics, with Total Electron Content (TEC) and Rate of TEC change Index (ROTI) data standing out as valuable parameters

Constraining Electron‐Impact Ionization of O2 Through UV Aurora Observations at Ganymede

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract While photoionization rates of Ganymede's O2 ${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ dominated atmosphere are well constrained, the contribution of electron‐impact ionization is rather uncertain. Previous quantitative estimates have relied on assumptions about densities and energy distributions of precipitating electrons, or on rare spacecraft measurements that ...

Thermal Segregation and Reddening in Europa's Double Ridges

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Europa's double ridges often display lower albedo and redder color than their surroundings. Their unique topography may cause sublimation‐driven darkening due to illumination and self‐heating—the process of thermal segregation. We apply an advanced 3D thermophysical model, including shadowing and self‐heating through mutual exchange of ...
