Twelve new moons orbiting Jupiter have been found—11 "normal" outer moons, and one that they're calling an "oddball." This brings Jupiter's total number of known moons to a whopping 79—the most of any planet in our Solar System. A team led by Carnegie's Scott S. Sheppard first spotted the moons in the spring of 2017 while they were looking for very distant Solar System objects as part of the hunt for a possible massive planet far beyond Pluto. Read more.
In a scene dominated by volcanism and erosion, Hélène Le Mével (left) and a colleague set up a precision GPS station to measure altitude of a portion of the ancient shoreline of Laguna del Maule, which has been inflating since 2007 and is currently one of the fastest uplifting volcanic areas on Earth.

Combining geomorphology, geochronology, and geodesy, a team of researchers including Hélène Le Mével found evidence of vertical ground deformation up to 62 meters over the last 9400 years at the restless volcanic field of Laguna del Maule in Chile.
