Perseverance Rover to Begin Long Climb Up Martian Crater Rim
Priority regions to study at the top of the crater are nicknamed “Witch Hazel Hill” and “Pico Turquino”, which contains ancient fractures that may have been caused by past hydrothermal activity.

Hydrothermal eruption in Yellowstone National Park sends sightseers fleeing
A surprise #hydrothermal #explosion in #Yellowstone national park has sent sightseers running for safety,
after steam and dark-coloured rock and dirt shot up high into the sky.
The eruption happened around 10am local time on Tuesday
in #Biscuit #Basin, a collection of hot springs a couple miles north of the famous Old Faithful Geyser.
#Hydrothermal eruption sends tourists running in #Yellowstone
Part of #BiscuitBasin, just north of #OldFaithful, is closed after a hydrothermal explosion Tues morning.
Hydrothermal explosions occur when hot water creates bubbles of steam, leading to underground pressure that eventually bursts through the surface. …It’s not unlike the steam that builds up inside a sealed pressure cooker.

Researchers have discovered a deep-sea hydrothermal vent field near Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago within the Arctic Circle. The area was previously assumed to be geologically inactive, Live Science reports:

animalculum@scholar.social - #Scientists Discover Four #NewSpecies of #DeepSea Octopus https://schmidtocean.org/scientists-discover-four-new-species-of-deep-sea-octopus/
"The team found two #octopus nurseries affiliated with #hydrothermal springs during their first expedition in June. Six months later, scientists returned to the nurseries and confirmed they appear to be active year-round. They also observed several other new octopus species away from the hydrothermal springs."
Mixing hydrogen, bicarbonate, and iron-rich magnetite under conditions mimicking #hydrothermal vent results in the formation of a spectrum of #organic molecules.
This is how some key molecules needed to produce life are made from inorganic chemicals, which is essential to understanding a key step in how #life formed on the Earth billions of years ago providung a plausible genesis for the organic molecules that formed ancient cell membranes.

Deep-sea #hydrothermal vents are hot springs on the #ocean floor.
Around these vents, far from any sunlight, vibrant biological communities are found.
Here, #microbes play the role of primary producers through #chemosynthesis—similar to the role that plants play on land through photosynthesis.
Now, a newly discovered bacterial species from a hydrothermal vent throws light on microbial #evolution.

Ocean #moons of the outer solar system hint at ice volcanoes, #hydrothermal vents, and the tantalizing chance of #habitability.
#Jupiter’s moons #Europa and #Ganymede, #Saturn’s moons #Enceladus and #Titan, and more objects in the outer solar system have turned out to be remarkably active ocean worlds.
They are filled with ice and vast seas of water. They may have hydrothermal vents feeding into oceans. All of these characteristics add up to potential #habitability.

#CalciteSprings is a colorful #hydrothermal feature below #BumpusButte just downstream of The Narrows on the #YellowstoneRiver, close to the Tower General Store. The springs are named after the milky-white calcite that dominates the area.
Over the 2017/18 holiday season the #FRidge_GA13 #geotraces voyage sailed past many sites of #hydrothermal venting along the mid Atlantic ridge. This #openaccess paper looks at how both #topography and #chemistry govern the far-field dispersal of #iron.
