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 […]

Populating other worlds: Beneficial microbes can be used as primary colonists for alien planets, suggest researchers
The key to successfully terraforming the Red Planet may lie in some terrestrial microbes. According to microbiologist Jose Lopez and his colleagues W. Raquel Peixoto and Alexandre Rosado, microbes from Earth may be able to jumpstart the creation of a habitable environment on Mars, the same way early microbes kickstarted the creation of the Earth’s […]

A closer look at the voids between galaxies: What’s going on in intergalactic space?
People tend to think of space as just an empty void in between galaxies, stars, planets and other celestial bodies. This “void,” however, actually contains more matter than the galaxies themselves. In between galaxies exists a matter called the intergalactic medium (IGM). This matter – composed mostly of hot, ionized hydrogen, with bits of heavier elements […]

Astronomers: Dead star sent massive X-ray, radio waves to Earth
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) – super intense, millisecond-long bursts of radio energy waves produced by unidentified sources in the distant cosmos – are one of the most perplexing and rare mysteries in all of astronomy, having been detected a few dozen times by radio telescopes around the world. And now, one more has been observed […]

Other planets may be home to more diverse life forms than Earth, suggest scientists
The existence of planets orbiting distant stars outside of Earth’s solar system has accelerated the search for life in space. But despite the fact that these planets, called exoplanets, are too far off to explore using current space technologies, scientists think that they might possess a greater potential for life than Earth itself. Stephanie Olson, an astrobiologist […]

Recurring bursts of cosmic radio waves reach Earth yet again
Astronomers predicted that a mysterious fast radio burst would repeat this July or August. And it did, as predicted, according to recent observations of the fast radio burst (FRB) called FRB 121102. In June this year, an international group of researchers found that FRB 121102 repeats every 157 days. Such repeating FRBs are not unheard-of, however, this was […]

Study: Heavy rainfall flooded lakes and rivers on ancient Mars
Early Mars had heavy rains that filled and flooded lakes and rivers, suggests a study published in the journal Geology. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said that precipitation levels reached up to 520 feet per rainfall. Water collected in lakes and river valleys that were sometimes […]

Mysterious dimming of Betelgeuse is caused by outburst from the star itself, study suggests
A hot outburst from supergiant Betelgeuse may have caused the star’s recent dimming, according to research conducted using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s Hubble Space Telescope. From December last year to April 2020, scientists observed that Betelgeuse dimmed, sparking speculations that the supergiant is facing a very imminent end. Surprisingly, Betelgeuse began shining brightly […]

Space speeding: Astronomers are baffled by 39 ancient galaxies the Hubble could not see
Astronomers have found an additional 39 ancient and massive galaxies lurking in secluded corners of the universe. The galaxies were found hiding around 11.5 billion light-years away, in a part of the universe where the light is so old that it’s invisible to many telescopes. The Hubble Space Telescope is built to see in ultraviolet, visible and […]

Study: Large-scale “terminator events” cause solar tsunamis that drive the solar cycle
Whenever there is solar activity, scientists check to see when the sun will change its “mood” from calm to sudden bursts of activity, which they believe can lead to significant events of space weather. Therefore, they deem it important to predict when these “stellar tantrums” will happen. The sun exhibits high levels of activity; it […]
