“Blue” sand dunes on Mars stun in NASA photo
The sand dunes of Mars looked blue in a stunning photo that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shared on April 8. Captured using a special infrared camera onboard NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter, the breathtaking image covered an area of 19 miles somewhere on the Martian north pole. In the image, a sea of windswept sand dunes could be seen stretched out across […]

Alien microbes may lurk beneath the surface of Mars, researchers suggest
A new study suggests that Mars may be harboring microbial life beneath its surface. Published April 15 in the journal Astrobiology, the study shows that the same chemical reactions that support microbial communities beneath Earth’s surface can also occur in the Martian underground. One of those reactions is radiolysis, which occurs when radioactive elements within rocks react with water locked […]

Over 5,000 tons of extraterrestrial dust from comets and asteroids bombard Earth every year – study
In a study published on April 15 in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, an international team of researchers found that more than 5,000 tons of extraterrestrial dust fall on the planet every year. Tiny meteors in the form of interplanetary dust bombard Earth all the time. Some of these particles travel at exceptional speeds and turn into shooting stars […]

Lunar mining: Researchers propose creating arcs of lightning to extract water and metal from the moon
Researchers propose using arcs of lightning to extract lunar resources such as water and metals all at once. The technique, called “ablative arc mining,” will be “like putting lightning over the surface of the moon,” according to lead researcher Amelia Greig, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the Aerospace Center at the University of […]

Biggest piece of ISS space junk will tumble down to Earth in a few years
An enormous lump of space junk that the International Space Station (ISS) dumped on March 11 is slated to fall back to Earth in two to four years, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The 2.9-ton piece of space junk, a pallet of old nickel-hydrogen batteries given the name “Exposed Pallet 9” or “EP9,” is the largest thing that […]

SPACE TOURISM: First space hotel to begin construction in 2025
The Orbital Assembly Corporation (OAC), a construction firm that focuses on space colonization, plans to build the first “space hotel” in 2025. In a virtual press junket on Jan. 29, OAC described the space hotel as a large, wheel-shaped structure that spins to generate artificial gravity while orbiting Earth. The structure called the “Voyager Station” would include many […]

Study: Mars was once habitable; atmosphere likely formed through the same process as Earth’s
A tantalizing new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy suggests that Mars might have been habitable before. Researchers from Hong Kong and China found that the Martian atmosphere might have evolved in the same way the Earth’s atmosphere did – it was once filled with toxic gases that warmed the planet, then a great oxidation event that […]

Landslides on Mars may be caused by melting underground ice, study suggests
On the surface, Mars seems very quiet. It has no active volcanoes, and the only water it harbors is locked up underground and on the polar caps. But as it turns out, this placid-looking planet hosts landslides called “slumps” from time to time. While scientists have known about these slumps for at least a decade, the mechanisms behind them […]

Proof of alien ships? “Cryptic bursts” of gamma-ray light from distant galaxies have an unexplained and “odd” symmetry
Researchers from the College of Charleston in South Carolina and the Michigan Technological University have observed a strange emission pattern in gamma-ray bursts. In a study published in the Astrophysical Journal, the researchers said that gamma-ray bursts display a series of smaller peaks in brightness that occur before and after one big peak. If the pattern is “folded” over at the main peak and stretched […]

Rocket booster mistaken for an asteroid shows ‘Oumuamua is not just a space rock, astronomer says
Harvard University astronomer Abraham Loeb has reiterated that the mysterious space object known as ‘Oumuamua is alien technology. In the past, Loeb has racked up a collection of compelling evidence to back up his claim, including ‘Oumuamua’s unusual shape and extreme brightness. Now, he has found fresh proof that perfectly illustrates why ‘Oumuamua is not just a […]
