Film Night July – The Planets – 25 years Later

Terra Firma

Last month, members of the society were interested in the difference between a volcano crater and meteor crater, as both of these are structures we can see on the surfaces of the earth, and the moon using even the smallest of telescopes. Space travel has let us find vulcanism everywhere in the Solar System, and we are starting to find evidence of it on exoplanets.

Vulcanism on the Earth and Moon
The mighty volcanoes of Mars, and the formation of Mariner Valley
The lava plains of Venus, and its mapping
Vulcanism of the Galilean Moons of Jupiter
The geysers of Triton

Developments since 1999 :

Vulcanism of Venus – observed eruptions
The changing face of Io
Evidence of geological processes of the Exoplanets
