New observations from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter indicate that the crust and upper mantle of Mars are stiffer and colder than previously thought.


Europa's surface may have been shaped by true polar wander.

Interesting choice of words in that second url...

Hi James, There just might be news (or, at least, a hint of news) from Alpha Centauri as well. See http://oklo.org/?p=279#comments and http://scienceblogs.com/catdynamics/2008/05/wandering_anagram_stars.php

I particularly liked when the second article said "The troughs and depressions are up to 500 meters (almost 1 mile) deep".

And Titan's surface is decoupled from the interior as well:
