  Los Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 15, 2024 Cornell University researchers are constructing a library of basalt-based spectral signatures, examining chemical processes from Earth's hot mantle. This compilation aims to shed light on the composition of planets outside our solar system and potentially reveal water's presence on those exoplanets. "When the Earth's mantle melts, it produces basalts," explained Esteban Gazel, professor of engineering. Basalt, a prevalent volcanic rock in our solar system, serves as an essential recorder of geolog ... read more |
