Cradles of life? New research says oceans on exoplanets may harbor more life than Earth
A study published in the Astrophysical Journal suggests that oceans on exoplanets may be more hospitable than those on Earth. Scientists traditionally detect which exoplanet is potentially habitable by looking for conditions that closely mimic those on Earth. However, exoplanets that greatly vary from the Earth in terms of conditions such as ocean salinity may, in fact, be more primed […]

Rare meteorites from Mars bring scientists closer to unlocking its secrets
An international team of researchers is trying to unravel the origins of two meteorites that came from Mars – a discovery that may hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the red planet. Current data and resources are insufficient for researchers to pinpoint the exact source of the meteorites – nakhlites that were separately found in 1931 in Indiana […]

Space-time ripples could help scientists uncover exoplanets from other galaxies
Scientists detect exoplanets by analyzing light from the planets themselves or their stars. This method led to the discovery of thousands of worlds within the Milky Way, but none beyond the galaxy. That could change, suggests a recent study, with the use of gravitational waves – invisible ripples in space and time that travel at the speed of light. These waves […]

Dwarf planet Ceres may have saltwater beneath its surface, researchers say
Reservoirs of saltwater may be lurking beneath the surface of Ceres, the dwarf planet closest to Earth, according to recent images taken by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s Dawn spacecraft. Dawn orbited Ceres from 2015 to 2018 until it ran out of fuel. In its final months, it flew about 20 miles above the dwarf […]

Scientists say the Moon and Mars may have lava tubes so large, they could be used as permanent base structures for colonization
A study published in the journal Earth-Science Reviews found that lava tubes larger than those on Earth might be lurking beneath the surfaces of the Moon and Mars. According to researchers from the University of Padua, University of Bologna and Virtual Geographic Agency in Italy, the tubes are large enough that they could fit bases for astronauts. They also noted that the lava tubes in the […]

Experts warn of downsides of renewable energy: Increased mining activity, pollution, economic uncertainty
The call for renewable energy has been gaining traction in recent years due to concerns over escalating environmental pollution. A great deal of pressure is felt among policymakers and private companies as green activists and agencies lobby for a greener solution to humanity’s demand for energy. But a recent report from the Manhattan Institute think […]

The truth about “clean” electric vehicles: Here’s what tech giants like Tesla are not telling you
Battery-powered cars, or electric vehicles, are touted as the future of automobiles with its purportedly clean and green energy usage. The cars emerged as the conversation on carbon dioxide or CO2 emissions worldwide snowballed in recent years, and many experts are encouraging the use of renewable energy as a substitute for fossil fuel. Indeed, several governments and […]

British company to launch a space mission in 2027 to mine multi-trillion dollar asteroid
The Asteroid Mining Corporation in Britan bared plans to mine a nearby asteroid in 2027. CEO Mitch Hunter-Scullion, who founded the company in March 2016, aims to advance the Third Industrial Revolution with asteroid mining. He considers the project as the “single greatest economic opportunity in human history.” In particular, Hunter-Scullion’s team will target Asteroid 1986 DA. Previous research found that the […]

Breakthrough in the search for extraterrestrial life as scientists discovered stars could host as many as 7 habitable planets
A recent study published in the Astronomical Journal found that as much as seven habitable planets could be orbiting a star, advancing the search for extraterrestrial life forms. The researchers noted that the absence of a gas giant such as Jupiter can mean more planets could have the favorable conditions to facilitate life. This factor could […]

Violent collisions in space millions of years ago led to 100 times more meteorite impacts on Earth and unleashed space dust, studies suggest
Meteorites taken from the Thorsberg quarry in Sweden suggest that violent collisions occurred in space about 470 million years ago, flinging rapidly traveling meteorites toward Earth. Birger Schmitz of Lund University in Sweden is leading the research on the meteorites aged millions of years old. His team’s findings, published in the journal Nature, show that the meteorites hold new and […]
