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 […]

The Arctic tundra has become greener since 1985, according to NASA study
Rising temperatures have turned the Arctic tundra greener, says a recent study from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Tundra, which comes from a Finnish word meaning “treeless plain,” is the coldest of all land biomes. The region is characterized by limited biodiversity, short growing seasons and frost-molded landscapes low in nutrients. For those reasons, only a select group […]

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 […]

Exposure to chronic, low dose radiation in deep space could harm astronauts’ brains
A study from the Society for Neuroscience has found that traveling to Mars may be more dangerous than previously thought. This is because astronauts may be bombarded by a constant stream of low dose radiation which, in time, can negatively affect the health of their brains. The study, published in the journal eNeuro, highlights the need to develop stronger safety measures […]

Scientists discover evidence that large and deep rivers flowed through Mars billions of years ago
Astronomers from the University of Utrecht (UU) in the Netherlands looked at high resolution images of Mars gathered from orbiters and uncovered evidence that the red planet once had a river that flowed across its surface for more than 100,000 years. They believe that the rivers “continuously shifted their gullies, creating sandbanks, similar to the Rhine or the rivers […]

Bright aurora on Jupiter caused by alternating currents on the giant planet, report researchers
One of the more interesting things about the planet Jupiter is that it also has an aurora, just like the ones here on Earth. For a long time, scientists have wondered about the origin of Jupiter’s aurora, which is said to be the brightest in the solar system. Now, a recent study has found just what causes […]
