  2. Lava planet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lava_planet

    Artist's impression of CoRoT-7b, likely a lava exoplanet. A lava planet is a type of terrestrial planet, with a surface mostly or entirely covered by molten lava.Situations where such planets could exist include a young terrestrial planet just after its formation, a planet that has recently suffered a large collision event, or a planet orbiting very close to its star, causing intense ...

  3. Martian lava tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martian_lava_tube

    The flow eventually ceases and drains out of the tube, leaving a conduit-shaped void space which is usually several meters below the surface. Lava tubes are typically associated with extremely fluid pahoehoe lava. Gravity on mars is about 38% that of Earth's, allowing Martian lava tubes to be much larger in comparison.

  4. Lunar lava tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_lava_tube

    Lunar lava tubes are lava tubes on the Moon formed during the eruption of basaltic lava flows. When the surface of a lava flow cools, it hardens and the lava can channel beneath the surface in a tube-shaped passage. Once the flow of lava diminishes, the tube may drain, forming a hollow void. Lunar lava tubes are formed on sloped surfaces that ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K2-141b

    K2-141b (also designated EPIC 246393474.01) is a massive rocky exoplanet orbiting extremely close to a K Type orange main-sequence star K2-141. The planet was first discovered by the Kepler space telescope during its K2 “Second Light” mission and later observed by the HARPS-N spectrograph. It is classified as an Ultra-short Period (USP) and ...

    Olympus Mons ( / əˌlɪmpəs ˈmɒnz, oʊ -/; [4] Latin for ' Mount Olympus ') is a large shield volcano on Mars. It is over 21.9 km (13.6 mi; 72,000 ft) high as measured by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA), [5] about 2.5 times the elevation of Mount Everest above sea level. It is Mars's tallest volcano, its tallest planetary mountain ...

  7. Syrtis Major Planum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrtis_Major_Planum

    Syrtis Major Planum (formerly Syrtis Major Planitia) is a massive shield volcano in the eastern hemisphere of Mars.A "dark spot" (an albedo feature), Syrtis Major Planum is located in the boundary between the northern lowlands and southern highlands of Mars just west of the impact basin Isidis in the Syrtis Major quadrangle.

  8. Volcanism on the Moon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanism_on_the_Moon

    Volcanism on the Moon is represented by the presence of volcanoes, pyroclastic deposits and vast lava plains on the lunar surface. The volcanoes are typically in the form of small domes and cones that form large volcanic complexes and isolated edifices. Calderas, large-scale collapse features generally formed late in a volcanic eruptive episode ...

  9. TRAPPIST-1g - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRAPPIST-1g

    TRAPPIST-1g, also designated as 2MASS J23062928-0502285 g and K2-112 g, is an exoplanet orbiting around the ultra-cool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, located 40.7 light-years (12.5 parsecs) away from Earth in the constellation Aquarius. It was one of four new exoplanets to be discovered orbiting the star in 2017 using observations from the Spitzer ...
