Boil, freeze, bubble, crack, repeat! Scientists simulate the solar system's 'ice volcanoes' in the lab

Scientists have been able to recreate the extreme conditions found on icy moons in deep space—and revealed the unstable behavior of water.

Saturn’s largest moon, #Titan, is particularly captivating for scientists.

It is known to host an #atmosphere about 1.5 times denser than Earth’s and bodies of liquid on its surface.

But even such a large #moon lacks the mass to keep a tight hold on its atmosphere.

Now, new experimental research shows that the chemical compounds in Titan’s atmosphere could emerge from processes in its interior.

#Cryovolcanism replenishes its thick atmosphere.

Cryovolcanism on Titan may replenish its thick atmosphere

Experiments suggest that processes in the interior of the moon could keep it swathed in an atmosphere that should otherwise have been lost.

The organic material found in a few areas on the surface of dwarf #planet #Ceres is probably of exogenic origin.

Impacting asteroids from the outer asteroid belt may have brought it with them.

Instead, the dwarf planet's #cryovolcanism, in which salty brine rises from the body's interior to the surface, is not responsible for the organic deposits.

These findings help to understand where and how #habitable conditions could have arisen in the solar system.

Dwarf planet Ceres may have received organic material from space objects

The organic material found in a few areas on the surface of dwarf planet Ceres is probably of exogenic origin. Impacting asteroids from the outer asteroid belt may have brought it with them.

Dwarf planet #Ceres may have its origin in the #asteroidbelt, #mpsgoettingen scientists argue in a new paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research Planets. Yellowish bright material in #ConsusCrater is rich in ammonium and connected to Ceres’ curios #cryovolcanism, they find. More here: https://www.mps.mpg.de/dwarf-planet-ceres-origin-in-the-asteroid-belt?c=6775 Original paper: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023JE008150
Dwarf planet Ceres: Origin in the asteroid belt?

Dwarf planet Ceres may have originated in the asteroid belt - and did not necessarily “migrate” there from the outer edge of the Solar System. This is indicated by bright, ammonium-rich deposits in Consus Crater, as a research team led by the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Göttingen argues today in the Journal of Geophysical Research Planets. The researchers analyzed observational data from NASA's Dawn space probe. Dawn had already discovered widespread ammonium deposits on the surface of Ceres years ago. According to some scientists, this suggests that frozen ammonium played a role in the dwarf planet’s formation. Ammonium is only stable in the outer Solar System. The new study finds another possibility: like other bright deposits on Ceres, the ammonium-rich material in Consus Crater could have been transported to the surface from within by Ceres' curious cryovolcanism.
