A NASA scientist reveals if there is life on Mars

admin

Since Mars is the closest planet to our planet, scientists have long conducted research on the surface of Mars. NASA has few missions active on the Red Planet at any given time to either see if microbial life currently exists on the celestial body or, at the very least, it existed at some point in the distant past. In a new video from the space agency, NASA astrobiologist Heather Graham reiterates that the outfit has yet to find any sign of ancient life on Mars. “We’re now getting tools on…

Scientists reveal what it takes to discover alien life on Saturn’s moons

admin

If alien life is found anywhere in our solar system, scientists believe the presence of water is critical to such an existence. One place where water has been found is on Enceladus, a distant moon of Saturn. It was thought that researchers would have to land on the moon for further research, but now, a new study suggests that this simply isn’t the case. According to a group of researchers at the University of Arizona, the team should be able to find out whether or not microbial life is present…

NASA’s Webb Telescope is examining the TRAPPIST-1 system where researchers hope it may find signs of life

admin

As the James Webb Space Telescope begins to finish its first year, the space observatory is now turning its attention to the TRAPPIST-1 system in hopes of learning more about the alien planet group. All seven planets in the system are located in the constellation of Aquarius, either in or near the TRAPPIST-1 habitable zone, which means that scientists believe the planets could have liquid water, and thus sustain life. Moreover, the TRAPPIST-1 system is located only 39 light-years from Earth, which makes the system even more interesting for those…

NASA celebrates Christmas with a cosmic wreath

admin

As we approach Christmas, NASA is celebrating a galaxy it says looks like a Christmas wreath. On Wednesday, the space agency shared an image taken with the Webb Space Telescope of a galaxy called NGC 7469. A spiral galaxy, the orange-and-blue hues of its cosmic dust, along with a bright galactic nucleus, admittedly looks like a cute little galaxy. Cosmic Christmas decorations. NGC 7469 is located in the constellation of Pegasus, about 220 million light-years from Earth and is one of the celestial bodies being studied. Part of LIRG’s survey…

NASA’s Insight Lander issues a heartbreaking tweet as it’s going backwards

admin

NASA’s InSight lander is nearing the end of its life on Mars. On Monday, the vehicle’s official Twitter account posted one of the saddest things you’ll read all week. Sharing another shot of the Red Planet’s dusty horizon, the rover confirmed it was actively running out of power; Funnily enough, the photo shared with the tweet may be the last thing you ever send back to Earth. “My strength is really low, so this might be the last pic I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here…

A rock formation resembling an ‘alien entrance’ was spotted on Mars

admin

NASA currently has quite a few missions bound for Mars, and one of them recently snapped a photo that caused a stir online. Earlier this month, the Curiosity rover transmitted an image of a rock formation that appears to have been partially cut off, as if it was the entrance to something buried beneath the surface of Mars. Despite its smooth edges and hallway-like features, scientists believe it is a natural rock formation. “It’s just the space between two fractures in a rock,” Mars Science Laboratory scientists Ashwin Vasavada said…

Scientists have discovered the largest Martian earthquake ever recorded

admin

Scientists see some amazing seismic activity on Mars. Actually, presearchers in a new study Earlier this month, they discovered the two largest earthquakes ever recorded on Mars. According to the organization, NASA’s InSight probe captured data on two massive earthquakes on the other side of the planet, one of which recorded a magnitude of 4.2 and the other found itself on the Richter scale of magnitude 4.1. Even Quake 4.1 still finds itself at least five times larger than the previous record holder. “Recording events within the core shadow zone…

Scientists believe that the course of Uranus should be a top priority

admin

Scientists say that funding for space exploration has never been higher, and a select group hopes to use a large amount of this money to explore the planet Uranus. In a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine — one of NASA’s most influential advising bodies — a mission to Uranus should be a top priority for the space agency in the coming years. The group says ice giants are probably the most common class of planets in the known universe, thus increasing the focus on…

Astronomers have discovered what may be the most distant galaxy yet

admin

Astronomers have been jumping at each other into the past lately. Last week, a group using the Hubble Space Telescope announced that they had discovered what may be the most distant and oldest star ever seen, nicknamed Earendel, which glowed 12.9 billion years ago, just 900 million years after the Big Bang. Now another international group of astronomers, pushing the boundaries of Earth’s largest telescopes, say they’ve discovered what appears to be the oldest and most distant group of starlight ever seen: a reddish point usefully called HD1, which was…
