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 […]

Heavy metal rain: Colossal “kilonova” explosions may be showering a nearby galaxy in gold and platinum
It’s not uncommon for cosmic objects such as stars to crash into each other. Such mergers generate massive explosions and send gravitational waves rippling through the cosmos. Mergers involving neutron stars are particularly strong. They result in a massive, turbocharged explosion called a kilonova that can be observed in nearly all space telescopes on Earth. An international […]

Researchers examine how pink sea urchins sharpen their teeth to develop self-sharpening tools
Aside from their fearsome array of spines, sea urchins have another evolutionary edge over other sea creatures: self-sharpening teeth. According to researchers from Northwestern University, the spiny invertebrates, unlike other animals whose teeth are built to resist constant wear and tear, have teeth engineered to chip and weather in such a way that they maintain their sharp […]

New theory suggests how magnetars, a type of neutron star, can crack themselves open and send gamma-ray flares to Earth
Earth was pummeled by three separate series of intense gamma-ray flares in the last 40 years. While scientists agree that magnetars, a type of neutron star, were behind the flares, the mechanism that unleashed those waves of energy remains unknown. A recent study offers a compelling theory to what that mechanism is. Researchers from the University of […]

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 […]

Model for plasma flow on the Sun reveals secrets behind sunspots and other solar phenomena
Scientists have studied the Sun for a long time. But solar phenomena such as sunspots have remained a mystery. Researchers from the University of Washington attempted to solve the puzzle by creating a model of the Sun’s plasma flow. They showed that a thin layer beneath its surface plays a vital role in the formation of sunspots and other solar features. This […]

New theory suggests that exploding magnetars bombarded Earth with gamma ray flares
A recent probe into three weird batches of gamma-ray bursts suggests that magnetars fissured due to magnetic field instabilities, releasing intense gamma rays that bombarded Earth’s atmosphere. These bursts occurred on three separate occasions in the last 40 years. They lasted only about one-tenth of a second and posed no threat to the planet. But their premium intensity is […]

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 […]

Scientists use nanoparticles as an alternative propulsion method for small spacecraft
Propellant is one of the most important things that any spacecraft needs to carry – without it, a spacecraft will be unable to move or change course. This is why spacecraft tend to carry a lot of it on board. Carrying propellant, however, brings its own set of problems. Not only is the chemical highly flammable, […]

Astronomers detect signs of life on Venus
An international team of researchers found evidence of a gas on Venus that could indicate the planet may harbor life. The gas in question is phosphine, a colorless chemical compound that smells like garlic or decaying fish. It is commonly produced by microorganisms on Earth in the absence of oxygen or by the breakdown of organic matter. The team […]
