What could possibly planet #Mercury & #Cyprus have in common? Rocks found in CY may hold answers. "They weren't just similar; they were identical."

From its "absurd" core to the baffling chemical composition of its surface, Mercury is full of surprises – not least the planet's origins. But some answers could be held in rocks found in Cyprus.

Wohoo, @theAGU poster by @PlanetaryRocks, @GabeEggers et al. (including @planets2explore, @NikScience, @GianLuigiLeone & me as coauthors) about Mt Etna as terrestrial analogue for the recent volcanism on #Venus is finally out. #AGU21 #AGU2021 @unveilvenus @univUda @2ndFromOurStar

Recently I wrote a book chapter on Martian lava tubes, and how these could be used as future human bases on Mars!

Is Mars still volcanically active? New study says maybe 🔴🌋
At first glance, Mars wouldn't seem geologically active, since no eruptions have ever been observed from any of its numerous volcanoes. Read more: bit.ly/2ZDlDwL 👓
