A volcanic eruption in southwest Iceland has prompted evacuations, including at nearby tourist sites like the Blue Lagoon.

As early Earth's magma ocean cooled and solidified, different types of minerals crystallized at different rates, so the chemical makeup of the molten rock changed over time. And as the magma ...

Remnants of a liquid layer of magma near Earth's core, formed in the first few hundred million years of the planet's history, may still persist today as odd anomalies in the mantle.

As the magma ocean began to cool, minerals with different densities are thought to have crystallized out of the molten material, with denser minerals like olivine and pyroxene sinking to form the ...

A vast magma ocean may once have existed on the moon's south pole, according to evidence obtained by India's Chandrayaan-3 rover.

The moon was once engulfed by a massive magma ocean, analysis of geological samples collected by India's Chandrayaan-3 mission suggests.

Data from India's recent Chandrayaan-3 mission supports the idea that an ocean of molten rock once covered the moon.

New data gathered by the lunar rover Pragyan strengthens evidence that the moon formed due to an ancient collision with Earth.
