New NASA research suggests that the oceans beneath the icy surfaces of Europa and Enceladus could support life. Organic molecules, such as amino acids, could survive despite harsh radiation, opening up the possibility of detecting signs of life without the need for deep drilling.
Scientists have discovered the planet TIC 241249530 b, which has the most eccentric orbit ever recorded, orbiting its star in retrograde. This discovery offers new insights into the evolution of hot Jupiter.
Astrophysicists have discovered how dark matter interactions allow supermassive black holes to merge, creating a background buzz of gravitational waves. This discovery gives a new insight into the nature of dark matter and the evolution of galactic structures.
Scientists have made significant progress in predicting space storms, allowing more accurate predictions of the speed and arrival of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) to Earth. These discoveries help protect the critical infrastructure and technology we use every day, making our space weather preparations more efficient.
A new study shows that the climatic conditions on Mars 3 to 4 billion years ago were similar to subarctic Newfoundland. This discovery can help understand the history of Mars and its ability to support life
Up to 60% of near-Earth objects could be dark comets, reveals a new study. These mysterious asteroids likely contain ice and could have been key to delivering water to Earth, providing new insights into the origin of water on our planet
