Given enough ejecta, these areas could possibly become clouded with dust. In fact, there are reports of such dust patches naturally occurring near the L4 and L5 points.

Modelling the electromagnetic emission of kilonovae enables the mass, velocity and composition (with some heavy elements) of the ejecta from a neutron-star merger to be derived from the ...

With our satellite half-lit, several features stand out for easy observing tonight, including dark seas and bright craters.

Ejecta distribution studies for large-sized (>10 km) lunar craters have been carried out earlier, but similar studies on smaller craters are lacking mainly due to data resolution limitations. Here we ...

NASA's DART mission successfully altered Dimorphos' orbit, but the impact unleashed over 100 boulders, significantly boosting momentum transfer. These ejected rocks, captured by LICIACube, carried ...
