NASA’s Mars orbiter takes a breathtaking photo of a 50-foot crater; impact could have occurred between 2016 to 2019, say experts
NASA has captured what appears to be a new 50-foot wide impact crater on the surface of Mars. Onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), a spacecraft circling and taking photographs of the Red Planet, NASA’s High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) instrument – a 143-pound camera – snapped a picture of a new crater, which researchers have […]

Fighting infections with fungi: Transgenic fungus successfully kills malaria mosquitoes, report researchers
Researchers from the University of Maryland (UMD) have found that a certain kind of naturally occurring fungus is capable of killing over 99 percent of mosquitoes in a simulated village setting. This study, published in the journal Science, had a research team describe their trial for a transgenic approach to combating malaria. By definition, transgenic is when genetic material is transplanted into a different […]

Researchers spot 2 new Earth-like planets orbiting a tiny star located about 12.5 light-years from our Solar System
Astronomers believe that they have found two new Earth-like exoplanets situated within their host star’s habitable zone, or the area around a star that can support the existence of liquid water. These are the conclusions of the scientists who have been observing the star known as Teegarden’s Star, an ultra-cool dwarf that sits just 12.5 light-years […]

Study suggests Europa, Jupiter’s Moon, contains table salt in its oceans just like the oceans on Earth
A study published in the journal Science Advances believes that subterranean oceans lurking underneath the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa may have a similar salt composition to oceans on Earth after the Hubble Space Telescope spotted sodium chloride, or salt, on the surface of the icy moon. Scientists now believe that other similarities may be discovered between the oceans of the two worlds. Four different […]

Researchers design cost-efficient, clean fuel cells that might soon replace traditional gas engines in cars
Fuel cell technology has been around for some time. The first truly modern fuel cell vehicles came from the 1950s and 1960s, when they were used on experimental vehicles such as the 1966 Electrovan, a van which was outfitted with a fuel cell that took up so much space it could only fit two people. Fuel cell technology was even used by […]

Water on the Red Planet: NASA’s Curiosity rover discovers high amount of clay on Mars
NASA announced that Curiosity, the rover that has explored the Martian landscape since 2012, has discovered an exceptionally large clay deposit. Clay has been found on the Martian surface before, but never in such large quantities. The amazing discovery was made at the aptly named “clay-bearing unit,” a region at the base of Mount Sharp, a 3.4 mile-high […]

Flashing lights in the night sky: Scientists launch study to analyze the moon’s “flashing” phenomenon
For over 50 years, scientists have been baffled by events known as “transient lunar phenomena” (TLP). These are brief flashes of light on the surface of the moon that astronomers have witnessed and have no conclusive explanation for. But the world might finally get an answer thanks to technology and future cooperation between a research team and […]

Researchers tease “surprising” DNA results of Loch Ness study
DNA evidence might finally prove whether or not the Loch Ness Monster, affectionately named Nessie, is real. An analysis of DNA samples left behind in Loch Ness may support some theories and disprove others regarding Nessie’s existence. Professor and biologist Neil Gemmell of the University of Otago in New Zealand led a team of his colleagues and traveled […]

Researchers search exomoons for signs of extraterrestrial life
A researcher from the University of Lincoln believes that scientists have been looking for extraterrestrial life in the wrong places. The researcher asserts that exomoons — moons that orbit planets outside the solar system (exoplanets) — could hold the key to finding alien life. Of the 4,000 or so exoplanets that have been discovered by scientists thus far, […]

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 […]
