Strange source of water on the moon connected to Earth’s magnetic shield
High-energy electrons found in a tail of plasma near Earth appear to have been a source of water throughout the moon, according to a new study. The discovery was made by researchers from the University of Hawaii at Manoa‘s School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology led by scientist Shuai Li. Their findings could […]

MOXIE instrument aboard NASA’s Mars rover produces enough oxygen to keep an astronaut alive for a few hours on Mars
The MOXIE instrument on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Perseverance rover has made enough oxygen to keep a human alive for a few hours. The MOXIE instrument has made 122 grams of oxygen since it landed on Mars in 2021 – just enough oxygen to support an astronaut for about three hours and 40 minutes. […]

Scientists determine Mars’ crust is similar to HEAVY ARMOR in some areas
The crust of the planet Mars is “like heavy armor” in some areas. This befits the planet named after the Roman god of war. Scientists made this conclusion following a marsquake that occurred in May 2022, which had a magnitude of 4.6 – the largest ever recorded on Mars. The May 2022 tremor was recorded by the InSight […]

For the first time, an asteroid has been found with essential ingredients for life
For the first time, researchers have discovered essential ingredients of life on the surface of an asteroid. Led by Queenie Chan, a professor of earth science at the Royal Holloway, University of London, the researchers analyzed a single speck of dust that the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency brought home in 2010 from the asteroid Itokawa as part of its […]

Water vapor detected on Mars can help answer whether the Red Planet was once habitable
An international team of researchers has detected water vapor rising from Mars, offering new clues as to whether the Red Planet was once home to aliens. The researchers made the discovery using an instrument called the Nadir and Occultation for Mars Discovery (NOMAD), which is aboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter jointly operated by the European Space […]

Scientists produce methane-based rocket fuel using resources found on Mars
Scientists at the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) have figured out how to produce rocket fuel using only portable materials and resources that can be sourced from Mars. The scientists developed a one-step process that requires only zinc, a mineral found on the red planet, and a small easy-to-carry device to catalyze carbon dioxide and produce methane-based fuel. This method […]

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. […]

Liquid water on Pluto? Gases trapped in a layer of ice could be what keeps an underground ocean from freezing, report researchers
Scientists believe that a layer of gassy material on Pluto’s surface is stopping an ocean underneath it from freezing over. New models of Pluto’s evolution suggest that this gassy layer is helping to insulate this body of water. If their calculations are correct, this means that these gases, if present in other planets, can potentially harbor life-supporting bodies […]

It turns out, there is water on the moon – experts say it “bounces” around the surface
The moon is not as dry as it appears to be. Liquid water travels across the surface of the natural satellite, say scientists, released from the lunar soil by rising temperatures and moving between cold spots until things cool down. While liquid water will not last for long on the surface of the moon, it […]

“Icy corridor” on the Saturn moon of Titan baffles scientists
While searching for the source of Titan’s methane, a team of researchers from the University of Arizona discovered a long ice feature that extends to almost half of Titan’s circumference. The study is published Nature Astronomy and partially funded by a NASA grant. The search for Titan’s source of methane Titan is the largest moon […]
