NASA details complex mission to collect rock samples from asteroid Bennu
In just a few weeks, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will be making history as it attempts to collect its first rock samples from an asteroid. The autonomous spacecraft OSIRIS-REx will be touching down briefly on the asteroid Bennu on Oct. 20. Through its robotic arm, it will scoop rocks on the landing site Nightingale, a 52-foot […]

Cryopreserved avocados may be sent to outer space
Astronauts may never have to miss out on avocados during a space voyage, thanks to a group of researchers who developed a cryopreservation method for the fruit. The team froze avocado shoots in cryotubes and revived them later to be regrown into a healthy plant. After trying out different techniques and avocado varieties, they said that the series of experiments was an overall […]

Researchers develop device that can better detect signs of extraterrestrial life
A group of researchers has developed a fully automated device that could better detect signs of alien life. Astronomers have been trying to look for evidence of extraterrestrial life for decades. They typically use detection methods that look for carbon, which is an important component of organic compounds. But current technologies are limited; some devices can’t […]

NASA’s plan for new asteroid-hunting telescope could be ready by 2025 if it receives funding of about $500-$600 million
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) could be launching a new asteroid detection system by 2025 if the space agency receives the required funding of about $500 to $600 million. New equipment had been proposed for years, but it wasn’t until asteroid 2019 OK nearly hit Earth in July last year things started moving forward. The space rock, which […]

Populating other worlds: Beneficial microbes can be used as primary colonists for alien planets, suggest researchers
The key to successfully terraforming the Red Planet may lie in some terrestrial microbes. According to microbiologist Jose Lopez and his colleagues W. Raquel Peixoto and Alexandre Rosado, microbes from Earth may be able to jumpstart the creation of a habitable environment on Mars, the same way early microbes kickstarted the creation of the Earth’s […]

Astronomers detect signs of life on Venus
An international team of researchers found evidence of a gas on Venus that could indicate the planet may harbor life. The gas in question is phosphine, a colorless chemical compound that smells like garlic or decaying fish. It is commonly produced by microorganisms on Earth in the absence of oxygen or by the breakdown of organic matter. The team […]

Shapeshifting robots straight out of sci-fi can be used to explore volcanoes and caves on Titan, Saturn’s moon
Engineers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have found a way to help scientists gain access to worlds located in the depths of outer space: the Shapeshifter robot. Currently being tested in a robotics yard at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California, the current Shapeshifter prototype, according to its engineers, can split […]

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 […]
