There's a weird, snakeskin-looking terrain found on Pluto, and scientists have found that it actually has a counterpart on Earth, a new study shows. These "scales," imaged by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft during its July 2015 flyby, are icy ridges that are about 1,650 feet tall, forming a bladed terrain on Pluto's Tartarus Dorsa region. They are quite similar to Earth's "penitentes," which are bowl-shaped depressions featuring spires around their edge and emerge a few meters above the ground in its cold mountain regions due to erosion.

A 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck 176 miles south of Fiji early Jan. 4, 6.2 miles below the Earth's surface in the South Pacific, triggering a tsunami warning, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. A 5.7-magnitude aftershock also was reported. The Tsunami Warning Center said tsunami waves were possible within 186 miles of the quake's epicenter but canceled the warning within an hour.

Yellowstone National Park is renowned for more than just its hot springs and Old Faithful. The area is famous in the volcanology community for being the site of three explosive supereruptions, the last of which was 631,000 years ago. During that eruption, approximately 1,000 cubic kilometers of rock, dust and volcanic ash blasted into the sky. A group of geologists wanted to understand what triggers these eruptions.

The first comprehensive analysis of the Great Barrier Reef at a time of rapid sea-level rise during the beginning of the Last Interglacial found it almost died. The research shows the reef can be resilient but questions remain about cumulative impacts. The research also provides an accurate identification of the age of the fossil reef that grew before the modern Great Barrier Reef, some 121,000-129,000 years ago.

When summer temperatures rise in Greenland and the melt season begins, water pools on the surface, and sometimes disappears down holes in the ice. That water may eventually reach bedrock, creating a more slippery, fast slide for glaciers. But where does it go once it gets there, and what happens to it in the winter? A new study helps answer these questions.

While the mineral exploration season in Interior Alaska typically runs from the time the ground dries in the spring, usually mid-May, until snow and cold weather make logistics too cumbersome and expensive in October, an increasing number of explorers are carrying out successful winter programs in this especially frigid region of the Far North State.

Mars may appear red when viewed from Earth, but NASA's Curiosity rover has captured an up-close photo of the planet's mountainous landscape, with purple-colored rocks littered across the foreground. A remarkable new photo was captured near the base of Mars' Mount Sharp. The variations in color of the rocks hint at the diversity of their composition on lower Mount Sharp.

National Public Radio interviewed Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego climate scientist Marty Ralph on the topic of atmospheric rivers and on a specific atmospheric river now bearing down on California. Historically, atmospheric rivers have helped the state end droughts but have also caused catastrophic flooding. Ralph and other Scripps scientists are working with county, state and federal agencies to monitor this storm.

When Evan Smith talks about the deep Earth, he makes it clear he is talking about the deep Earth — way underground, beneath the tectonic plates, below where any human has traveled, as "far under our feet as the International Space Station is above our head," in the words of NPR. Which is why Smith has spent the last few years studying diamonds — they are one of the few objects we have up here that have also been down there.
