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 […]

Free fuel for satellites: Large asteroids close to Earth could be mined for water, suggest researchers
It appears the Moon isn’t the best option for mining water in space. Recent research published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets found that asteroids close to Earth may be rich in water, making them better candidates for space mining. Researchers identified several of these asteroids and said that they are easier to reach than the Moon. Most of these near-Earth objects (NEOs) […]

Stunning NASA discoveries suggest Ceres is an ocean world percolating with briny waters from its interior
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has unveiled what it discovered about Ceres in a recent mission, shedding new light on the evolution of the dwarf planet and opening new curiosities. In 2016, NASA’s Dawn spacecraft went into an extended mission to probe Ceres, the biggest object in the asteroid belt and the only dwarf planet in the inner solar system. […]

Researchers examine how pink sea urchins sharpen their teeth to develop self-sharpening tools
Aside from their fearsome array of spines, sea urchins have another evolutionary edge over other sea creatures: self-sharpening teeth. According to researchers from Northwestern University, the spiny invertebrates, unlike other animals whose teeth are built to resist constant wear and tear, have teeth engineered to chip and weather in such a way that they maintain their sharp […]

Scientists use nanoparticles as an alternative propulsion method for small spacecraft
Propellant is one of the most important things that any spacecraft needs to carry – without it, a spacecraft will be unable to move or change course. This is why spacecraft tend to carry a lot of it on board. Carrying propellant, however, brings its own set of problems. Not only is the chemical highly flammable, […]

China launches top-secret reusable spacecraft
China has launched an experimental reusable spacecraft into orbit on Friday, Sep. 4. Details of the spacecraft, including what it is for, are still under wraps. A press release from state-owned Xinhua News Agency confirmed the launch. It was conducted through a Long March 2F carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gobi Desert. “After a […]

Other planets may be home to more diverse life forms than Earth, suggest scientists
The existence of planets orbiting distant stars outside of Earth’s solar system has accelerated the search for life in space. But despite the fact that these planets, called exoplanets, are too far off to explore using current space technologies, scientists think that they might possess a greater potential for life than Earth itself. Stephanie Olson, an astrobiologist […]

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 […]

Could Venus have harbored life eons ago?
Venus may have once harbored oceans two to three billion years ago, suggests a study presented at the Joint Meeting of the European Planetary Science Congress and the American Astronomical Society’s Division for Planetary Sciences. Researchers from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Goddard Institute for Space Studies ran five simulations of the planet’s environment based […]
