NASA’s Dawn Mission Unveils Insights into Vesta’s Mysterious Gullies Using Lab Simulations

NASA’s Dawn mission to the asteroid Vesta revealed mysterious gullies on its surface. New lab experiments, simulating Vesta’s harsh vacuum conditions, suggest that liquid water, possibly briny, could have flowed briefly and carved these channels. These findings challenge existing theories about liquid stability on airless bodies and provide insight into processes on…
