**Geology**: Astronomers discover radiation-blasted Earth-size exoplanet for groundbreaking study of planetary **geology**

by

A team of astronomers has made a groundbreaking discovery of an Earth-size planet located about 55 light-years away from Earth. This planet, known as SPECULOOS-3 b, orbits its host star so closely that its days and nights are eternal due to tidal locking. The planet is constantly bombarded by radiation from its star, a red dwarf similar in size to Jupiter, causing its atmosphere to erode away, leaving behind a rocky, airless surface akin to …

Planet-Earth-Fault-Lines-Unveiled: Shocking New Findings on Craton Formation Disrupt Traditional Geology Theories!

by

State College, Pennsylvania – Scientists from Penn State University have unveiled a groundbreaking study that challenges traditional views on the formation of ancient continental crust known as cratons. The researchers propose a new mechanism that sheds light on how cratons stabilized Earth’s continents around 3 billion years ago, offering insights into the planet’s geological history. Published in the journal Nature, the study suggests that cratons did not emerge from Earth’s oceans as stable landmasses with …
