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 […]

How the moon landing showed our world that aliens are more than just science fiction
When Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins returned to Earth after their manned mission to the moon, the triumphant astronauts were put into a 21-day period of isolation. Per NASA safety protocols, this was to make sure that the Earth’s first visitors to the moon wouldn’t spread any potentially hazardous lunar microbes. Before the […]

Scientists use computer simulations to understand the possibility of hyperspace travel via black holes
One of the most common tropes in science fiction involves the use of black holes as portals to other dimensions or points in time. A recent study suggests that such a scenario may be closer to reality than it is to fantasy. While scientists have predominantly believed that using black holes – a region of space-time exhibiting […]

By 2024, astronauts could live inside caves on the moon’s surface, suggests NASA geoscientist
It might sound like a scene straight out of an Arthur C. Clarke novel but National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) post-doctoral lunar scientist Daniel Moriarty says it is possible that astronauts could one day live inside caves under the moon’s surface. Moriarty made the claim during an “Ask Me Anything” Q&A session on Reddit, […]

What are traveling-wave tubes and how important are they in space exploration?
Telecommunications and space exploration owes a lot to the traveling-wave tube. Invented in the 1950s, the simple and unassuming electron device has performed its job so well that modern-day space probes and satellites still use it for long-range communications. Abbreviated as TWT — and read as the rather rude “twit” – the traveling-wave tube is a vacuum tube […]

Straight out of sci-fi? Researchers say that aliens use black holes to travel
Black holes possess immense amounts of energy, and this very property has given a researcher the idea to use black holes as “launch pads” for starships preparing to explore the deep space. The black holes would curve laser beams back toward a receiving starship, and the boost in energy would help accelerate large spacecraft to relativistic […]

Nearly 60 percent of astronauts have “space herpes”
Anyone who wants to go to space must know about the health risks involved in leaving the Earth’s atmosphere and gravity. A NASA-backed study warns that astronauts were much more prone to developing a case of herpes while in space and after coming home. Researchers found that seven percent of the astronauts who previously reported […]

Study: Can extended space travel increase an astronaut’s risk of cancer?
Astronauts make a lot of sacrifices in their line of work. The longer they stay in space, the more severely their health suffers. Latest research warns that long-term stays in space could drastically weaken the immune systems of astronauts, making them much more vulnerable to the onset and effects of deadly diseases like cancer. The […]

World’s first privately-funded spacecraft attempts moon landing, ends in historic crash
SpaceIL is the first private company to ever attempt landing a spacecraft on the moon. And when they were just a few minutes away from success, they also became the first private company to crash into the moon. The spacecraft, named “Beresheet,” suffered a disastrous engine shut-down, mere moments before the Moon landing could be […]
