NASA's Cassini spacecraft tasted and sampled a surprising organic brew erupting in geyser-like fashion from Saturn's moon Enceladus during a close flyby on March 12.
... several years of drought may have added a minute or two to the eruption cycle of Old Faithful geyser. The geyser used to erupt about every 61 minutes. That cycle lengthened to more than an hour and ...
New research suggests that how often Old Faithful and other Yellowstone geysers erupt may depend on annual rainfall patterns.

The formation of an Idaho canyon thousands of years ago, along with recent discoveries of ancient hot springs and geysers on Mars, has formed a portrait of a wetter, more violent red planet.

When fatty acids are in an aqueous environment, they spontaneously arrange so that their ...
Global-warming-related dry spells are slowing down the eruptions of the park's iconic geysers—and may even put an end to them completely—scientists say.
