New findings come to spoil the dreams of many and relieve the tension for others. It depends on which side you are. Someone once said that whether alien life exists or not, both scenarios can be equally frightening. But for ...
Many of us have seen astronauts colonizing the Red Planet in sci-fi movies without even thinking that such scenarios will ever have a chance to become a reality. Humanity is still far from that goal, but it appears to be ...
NASA’s Perseverance rover was driving alone on Mars when it picked up a “pet rock” that got lodged in one of its wheels and decided to tag along. Aside from a small annoyance, the Martian stone will have no effect ...
Astronomers don’t give up hope in looking for signs of alien life on Mars, even though the planet seems like a complete wasteland. But we all know that looks are often deceiving and that even microorganisms such as germs can ...
Water was previously thought to have been present on Mars for at least three billion years. NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, for example, detected salt crystals that suggest water may have existed as recently as two billion years ago. The Zhurong ...
Mars is located ‘right next door’ judging by an astronomical scale, and it’s the fourth planet from the Sun. This means that astronomers have many chances to study it, although no astronaut has ever laid foot on the Red Planet ...
Since the dawn of time, humans wanted to travel among the stars and the depths of the heavens. While technology allowed the human race to explore a very tiny part of space, astronomers might need to apply a different recipe. ...
If we humans have to be extra careful when an earthquake happens, any little green men living on Mars might have the same fears. While there’s no definitive proof for the existence of life on the Red Planet, we can’t ...
Since the dawn of time, some people have suspected that intelligent and extraterrestrial life forms are to blame for creating many of our world’s wonders. That’s the case for the Egyptian Pyramids, for instance, as scientists today don’t have any ...
Mars might not be yet a suitable destination for humans, but it’s still safe to send some robots there. NASA’s Perseverance rover has been bringing important data from the Red Planet since 2021, and now it captures a solar eclipse ...
After arriving in the river delta on Mars around April 13, NASA’s Perseverance Rover has been making preparations ever since. In the “Three Forks” section of the Delta river, the rover started its first excursion and digging operation on April 18, ...
All NASA haters out there must admit that the space agency has some fancy “toys” for exploring space. It proves it once again by unveiling its Psyche spacecraft that’s supposed to fly beyond Mars and all the way to a ...
Under the Martian surface, in a region known as Cerberus Fossae, researchers from the Australian National University as well as the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing found 47 hitherto undiscovered marsquakes. An investigation has put a spotlight on this ...
Who can possibly miss the chance of seeing some of our Solar System’s planets in the sky in the dawn? We can all consider ourselves lucky if we get that chance, even if we see the space objects with the ...
A space internet project in its early stages has recently secured $650,000 in initial money to work on research and technical evaluations in order to link the Earth, the moon, and possibly Mars with high-speed internet access. In a press ...
NASA aims to send the first astronauts to Mars by the end of the current decade. While it would be a huge achievement, we are surely asking ourselves why the space agency hasn’t reached that goal already. It’s 2022 and ...
Russia started to invade Ukraine on February 24, and nobody knows for sure how the horror will end. The ongoing invasion has captured the attention of the whole world, and sanctions have already started to be imposed. As a result, ...
Despite the considerable buzz around an interesting snapshot taken on our neighboring planet, there is still no evidence of alien life on Mars at any stage of development. Curiosity, NASA’s Mars rover, obtained a fascinating photograph of what seems to ...
During its most recent mission to the surface of Mars, the Curiosity rover captured a photograph of something rather appealing. While the thing in issue seems to be a small little flower or possibly some sort of biological feature, the ...
McGill University academics and engineers claim to have developed a new laser-propelled spaceship capable of transporting passengers from Earth to Mars in a little over six weeks. As per NASA’s estimations, the possible journey time for mankind to reach Mars is ...
Establishing a new human colony on another planet provides a chance to experiment with novel concepts. More significantly, it’s a chance to learn from humanity’s previous blunders in habitat construction. Even though we have yet to dominate the moon or ...
Curtin University is researching a chunk of a Martian meteorite found on Earth in the Moroccan Sahara Desert in 2011 and initially reported in 2013. According to experts from Australia’s Curtin University, scientists are one step closer to knowing when ...
Is this a close-up of a tree stump or an orbital view of a crater? At first look, it may not be easy to tell. However, this picture of a crater on Mars supplies planetary scientists with much the same ...
NASA is well-known for finding out useful and unique ideas in difficult moments. The American space agency is attempting something different once again: it wants to recycle human waste such as the carbon dioxide we eliminate from our lungs or ...
According to a new Curtin University study, the frequency of asteroid impacts that generated impact craters on Mars has been stable over the last 600 million years. The research, published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters, examined the creation of ...
