Study shows gullies on Mars’ southern hemisphere
Mars might have no active volcano and no streams of water to speak of, but it has vast shifting sand dunes that continually churn out gullies. That’s according to a study published recently in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, which shows that gullies form on the sand dunes in the planet’s south every Martian spring. How the Martian seasons drive […]

Breakthrough Listen Project and NASA collaborate on the search for advanced alien civilizations
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has partnered with scientists working on the Breakthrough Listen project in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). The team will use NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to identify “light-curve anomalies” and detect “technosignatures.” Breakthrough Listen is a $100 million SETI initiative considered as the most comprehensive search for alien communications to […]

Scientists explore lava tubes in Hawaii to prepare for Mars and moon exploration
Researchers are plumbing the depths of Mauna Loa in Hawaii to study the volcano’s lava tubes. The researchers wear bulky suits like those required for space exploration while navigating volcanic terrain and conducting research. Besides studying the environment and organisms living there, the team’s goal is to prepare for the unique challenges of living in space, particularly on Mars and the […]

Space burial: Astronauts who die during Mars mission can be cremated by surviving crew members
Mars is currently humanity’s best shot at exploring another alien world. But while it’s not engulfed in greenhouse gases like Venus, the Red Planet is not Earth-like either. As the risk of death is high during a Mars mission, dealing with the corpse of a dead astronaut is something that space agencies have to be ready for. When a […]

Researchers discover how space travel weakens astronauts’ immune systems
A new study published June 7 in the journal Scientific Reports found that space travel weakens the immune system by causing the abnormal activation of cells that suppress immune responses. Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco and the Stanford University School of Medicine arrived at this finding after exposing human blood samples to simulated weak […]

Expect solar storms that can topple power grids and satellites during this new solar cycle
The sun entered a new 11-year cycle in December 2019 to end its “quiet phase.” The new solar cycle, which is the 25th since record-keeping began, is expected to be more or less like the cycle that preceded this one: fairly weak and with a peak sunspot number below the average of 179. But that doesn’t […]

Glaciers on Mars could help astronauts survive on the planet
Researchers discovered what appeared to be shallow glaciers beneath the Martian surface. These features might be rich in water ice and are situated in the northern lowlands beneath a flat region called Arcadia Planitia. The researchers said that this region could serve as a landing site for future crewed missions to Mars while the glaciers could provide a water […]

Sunspot unleashes a dozen solar flares in a day, causing radio blackouts worldwide
A sunspot unleashed a chain of solar flares last Saturday, May 22, jamming radio signals over North America and Southeast Asia and potentially causing a disturbance to Earth’s magnetic field. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) recorded a total of 12 solar flares erupting from sunspot AR2824 within a day. Ten of those were weak and had few noticeable consequences while the remaining two were […]

Mysterious radio circles in outer space could be newfound remnants of black hole mergers, study suggests
A new study suggests that the gigantic blobs of radio emissions found floating in outer space in 2019 could be the result of two colliding black holes. Researchers note that the blobs, which they dubbed “odd radio circles” (ORC), are unlike anything seen before. While they have offered other hypotheses, they also raise the possibility that a highly energetic event took […]
