The study began in February and has since been dedicated to conducting the first high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys over the island and its surrounding waters.
A series of studies funded with more than $1 million in U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) funds will map the local geology and update Puerto Rico's seismic hazard map, which has not been updated in 20 years.

Submitted by Ariadna S. Rubio Lebrón on

Saturn’s moon Titan is the only moon in our solar system with a dense atmosphere, which supports an Earth-like hydrological cycle of methane clouds, rain, lakes and seas. Complex organic surface materials preserve, in a deep freeze, the types of organic chemicals that were present on Earth before life developed. Titan's icy crust floats atop an interior liquid water ocean. Dragonfly is a rotorcraft lander (an octocopter) that will explore a variety of locations on Titan.
