The resulting interpretation of the moon's surface is supported by the Ranger pictures With the technique of stratigraphy the geologist can ascertain the relative age of lunar features.

Scientists from the University of Arizona (USA) have discovered that computer simulations combined with data from space probes have helped solve the mystery of the Moon's "inverted" geology.

The geology of the moon (aka. selenology) is quite different from that of Earth. Since the moon lacks a significant atmosphere, it does not experience weather – hence there is no wind erosion.

Surface features of Uranus' icy moon Miranda point to the existence of a once deep ocean, one that still may exist today.

A reassessment of data from NASA's Voyager 2 has revealed that Uranus' moon Miranda may contain a subsurface ocean, challenging assumptions about its potential for life.

"You can think of the moon's surface as being dry, grounded gravel and dust," said coauthor and University of Maryland associate professor of geology Nicholas Schmerr in the statement. "Over ...
