Interplanetary hoppers: Microbes from Earth may have reached Venus by hitchhiking on asteroids
If Venusian life does exist, it may have originated from Earth: An interplanetary hopper hitched a ride with an asteroid that grazed Earth’s upper atmosphere and landed on Venus. Researchers from Harvard University — astronomy professor Avi Loeb and student Amir Siraj — proposed the idea after a group of scientists recently detected signatures of phosphine. Microorganisms can produce […]

NASA’s plan for new asteroid-hunting telescope could be ready by 2025 if it receives funding of about $500-$600 million
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) could be launching a new asteroid detection system by 2025 if the space agency receives the required funding of about $500 to $600 million. New equipment had been proposed for years, but it wasn’t until asteroid 2019 OK nearly hit Earth in July last year things started moving forward. The space rock, which […]

Over 3.5 billion years ago, an asteroid formed the Lomonosov crater on Mars: Experts say this could have caused a 1,000-foot-high tsunami on the Red Planet
Around three billion years ago, an asteroid crashed into Mars, forming a 75-mile wide crater known as the Lomonosov Crater. Researchers believe that the asteroid impact that made this crater also created a “mega tsunami.” This cataclysmic natural disaster would have created a wall of water a thousand feet high hurtling through the planet which, […]

Meteoroids release water vapor into space when they hit the moon – could it have water under its surface?
A new study suggests that small amounts of water might hide just beneath the surface of the moon. The lunar water only emerged after a meteoroid slammed deep enough into the lunar rock to extract it. The Apollo astronauts brought back samples of lunar rocks from 1969 to 1972. Analyses found no trace of water in […]

Can life find a way? Tiny planet around a white dwarf may hold clues to understanding habitable worlds in the universe
The star called SDSS J122859.93+104032.9 died long ago, and its death spasms devoured the planets that circled it. But U.K. researchers recently found a surviving planetesimal zipping through the diminishing debris disk around the white dwarf star. A fragment that broke off its original exoplanet during the latter’s destruction, the planetesimal showed high levels of […]

Sci-fi in real life: Scientists propose building a space station INSIDE an asteroid and using its gravity to mine valuable space rocks
Move over, International Space Station (ISS) – Austrian researchers believe it is possible to build future space stations inside the bigger asteroids orbiting the Earth and mine the space rocks for valuable resources. In a study supported by the University of Vienna, the researchers used mathematics to demonstrate how to dig a tunnel toward the center of an asteroid, set up […]

Research team detects the existence of water in a multiple asteroids for the first time
Infrared satellite imagery of near-Earth objects have picked up the presence of mineral crystals that contain liquid water. Japanese researchers remarked that this was the first time hydrated minerals have been found inside asteroids. Further investigation of these imprisoned water samples can tell us about how our planet got its water in the first place. Earth is the sole planet in […]

Astronomers investigate the relic of the primordial solar system
There is much debate on how the solar system began, but evidence suggests it was anything but an orderly process. In a recent research paper, astronomers pointed out that a carbon-rich asteroid in the Kuiper Belt, of all places, could provide vital clues regarding the solar system’s chaotic origins. The asteroid, titled Kuiper Belt Object 2004 […]
