For nearly half a century, we have been unable to find a single crater on Io, the moon of Jupiter that constantly erupts lava.

That is, until now. A guy named Jesper from Sweden looked at old spacecraft images from the 1990s and noticed a crater that every scientist missed.

NEW: In 2019, scientists went ghost hunting above the Mediterranean. Sometimes, above red lightning storms, there were green phantoms—and scientists managed to capture one and reveal its origins.

Turns out...it was a space ghost. 👻

popular science journalism is just dissolving before our eyes. This, recent Nat Geo layoffs, Popular Science shrinking, Buzzfeed news had one of the best science teams .... A lot still remains but hard not to feel very pessimistic

Thoroughly enjoyed Super Volcanoes by Dr Robin George Andrews 🌋☄️ - infectious enthusiasm, great storytelling, and a whole host of familiar planetary scientists in chapters on the Moon, Venus, Mars and Io. I recommended to my undergrads, but I'd also urge adding it to your Santa letters.

NEW: for this week’s column I dug into the curious case of British attitudes to immigration

Before the EU ref, concern about immigration tracked levels of arrivals. Since then, immigration has kept rising but concerns have evaporated

What’s going on?

Hey everyone! I'm *thrilled* to announce that I've been made a columnist for Atlas Obscura. I'll be writing a monthly column—GOOD NEWS FROM PLANET EARTH—that will tell geoscience tales that will make your day a tad brighter.

Apologies for not posting anything on the lethal eruption of Marapi in Indonesia; I’ve been needing to attend to other things for the past two weeks. (Almost back though!)
