In a fascinating new study, researchers have found that geologic faulting on icy moons can help replenish their water supply. This process is known as “cryovolcanic migration,” and it occurs when the moon’s icy surface is fractured by tectonic activity, leading to the release of water-rich material from the moon’s interior. The water-rich material then migrates to the surface, where it can be released in the form of cryovolcanic eruptions. This process could provide a source of water for the icy moons of the outer solar system, making them more habitable for future exploration.

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a long-lasting impact on college towns across the United States. As universities shift to online learning, many college towns are feeling the ripple effects of decreased student populations. Now, some experts are predicting that the pandemic could permanently change the landscape of college towns. The virus has caused a significant drop in student enrollment at many universities, resulting in fewer students living in college towns. This is causing a decrease in economic activity and an increase in vacancies in rental housing and commercial real estate.
