Two of Jupiter’s four Galilean moons, Io and Ganymede, were recently featured in science news stories—stories that remind us that these moons are problematic for those who believe the solar system is billions of years old.1,2
The four largest of Jupiter’s more than 100 moons are called the Galilean moons, in honor of their discovery by Galileo Galilei. In order of increasing distance from Jupiter, the... More...
Saturn is famous for its beautiful rings, which are composed mostly of water ice particles. A team of scientists recently proposed that the rings were formed from the breakup of a hypothetical moon about 100 million years ago, a moon they have dubbed Chrysalis.1
Because the force of gravity between two objects rapidly increases as the objects move closer together, a planet’s gravity pulls on the near side of a mo... More...
A possible Earth-like planet 146 light-years away has recently been discovered by citizen scientists.1 The evolutionary community is cautiously optimistic that this planet could host life. What are the chances that this could very well be Earth 2.0?
Astronomers are excited about this potential find because, as NASA chief scientist Thomas Zurbuchen said back in 2017, “The discovery gives us a hint that finding a s... More...
A galaxy with the designation MoM-z14 has recently been confirmed as the most distant galaxy ever detected.1,2 By Big Bang reckoning, we are seeing this galaxy as it was just 280 million years after the supposed Big Bang. This shocked conventional scientists, because slow, gradual, evolutionary processes should not have been able to form such a “remarkably luminous”2 galaxy in such a short time.

A team of researchers led by University of North Dakota planetary scientist Dr. Caleb Strom concluded that the two Uranian moons Ariel and Miranda (directly left and right of pale blue Uranus in the above image, respectively) once had water oceans within their interiors.1,2 They obtained their conclusions, published in the journals Icarus and The Planetary Science Journal, by studying cracks, or stress fractures, on...
