New lava flows have inundated much of the crater floor and by 7:30 p.m. about 10 meters (32 feet) depth of new lava had been added to the crater floor. The eruption ended 61 days later on March 7, 2023. [51] Three months after the end of the previous eruption, another eruption began on June 7, 2023. [52]
This is a list of named geological features on Mimas, a moon that orbits the planet Saturn. Mimantean features are named after people and places in Arthurian legend or the legends of the Titans . The sole exception to this is Herschel Crater , named after William Herschel , the astronomer who discovered Mimas in 1789.
The similarity between Mimas's appearance and the Death Star in Star Wars due to the large size of Herschel has often been noted, both in the press and in NASA/JPL press releases. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] This is a coincidence, however, as the crater's similarities were not discovered until 1980 after Voyager 1 gained line of sight, three years after the ...
A high-relief image of Mimas by Cassini on January 30, 2017. The shapes and the texture of its many overlapping craters can clearly be seen. The Mimantean surface is saturated with smaller impact craters, but no others are anywhere near the size of Herschel. Although Mimas is heavily cratered, the cratering is not uniform.
This is Mimas, the smallest of Saturn's major moons. Other than its giant impact crater, scientists thought Mimas was a rather boring piece of cold rock. Now, a new study says Mimas is much more ...
[failed verification] [1] This list documents the most significant volcanoes in the chain, ordered by distance from the hotspot, but there are many others that have yet to be properly studied. The chain can be divided into three subsections. The first, the main windward Hawaiian islands consist of the eight youngest and easternmost Hawaiian ...
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory officials have raised the alert levels for a potential eruption at Kilauea and have closed Chain of Craters Road “due to heightened gas emissions and volcanic unrest.”
Pauahi Crater is a volcanic crater measuring 2,000 ft (610 m) long, up to some 1,300 ft (400 m) across, and 300 ft (91 m) deep in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park at It is about 3 mi (4.8 km) from the top of the Big Island of Hawaii's Chain of Craters Road, which follows a "chain" that also includes the Hiʻiaka, Puʻu Huluhulu, Kānenuiohamo, Makaopuhi and Nāpau craters.
