Space models suggest that a cosmic impact created Mars’ moons

American scientists have uncovered evidence supporting the theory that an asteroid impact formed the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos. According to an article on Space.com, their computer models showed that an event involving an object of the same size as the biggest members of the asteroid belt would have launched sufficient debris to form the […]

Space researchers develop new AI technology that can determine whether life may exist on other worlds

Is there life outside the world as we know it? Scientists and astronauts have yet to find the answer to this mystery. But they’re on their way — if new technology using artificial intelligence to classify planets and, in turn, find out if life does exist outside our world — can help us. The new […]

Recently discovered alien planet is metal-heavy, like our Mercury, and also close to its sun

The solar system has an assortment of eight different planets orbiting the sun. While each of them is different in their own unique way, they are mostly similar, with one exception. While most of the smaller planets in the solar system are compositionally similar to Earth, bearing a small, solid metal core that makes up […]

Scoping out Mars for the best place to land, NASA’s 2020 mission hopes to find evidence of life

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is currently in the planning stages for a handful of Mars missions, the first of which is scheduled to happen by the year 2020. The space agency aims to find evidence of past life on the Martian planet, by way of examining organic materials on the planet’s surface. […]

Researchers say any life on Mars was more likely subterranean rather than living on the surface

Forget the surface of Mars: if we want to find signs of life, we need to go underground. The red planet may be similar to Earth in some aspects, but it also greatly differs in others. That’s why, according to Dr. Joseph Michalski, an associate professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at The University […]

Pictures from the Mars Curiosity rover reveal an Earthly-looking landscape

Have you ever been curious about what the surface of the planet Mars looks like nowadays? As luck would have it, the Mars Curiosity rover that was sent to the red planet by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) back in 2012 has just provided new images of the Martian landscape. It shows a […]

One step closer to Mars: NASA’s next Lander prepping for May launch

Despite all the apparent chaos in the world, the National Aeronautics Space Agency (NASA) still hasn’t forgotten how to remain organized enough to carry out its space missions. Its upcoming mission is one that’s headed straight for the planet Mars, where a new lander is expected to begin an entirely new probe of the planet‘s deep interior […]

Proof of water for future explorers: New images from NASA show “underground ice cliffs” on Mars

It has been known for quite some time now that Mars is full of water. Regardless of whether or not there is actually flowing water on the so-called red planet’s surface, scientists from the National Aeronautics Space Agency (NASA) have long confirmed that water is indeed present on the planet. Most of it is in […]

Alien life could exist BELOW the surface of Mars, shocked scientists discover

Could there be life on Mars, after all? Scientists now believe it is possible that life may exist on Mars — under the planet’s surface. Experts have found a type of salt in Martian soil, magnesium perchlorate, which would prevent water from freezing underneath the surface. While many people have suspected that Mars was (or […]

SCIENCE CON: NASA claims it will seek life on Mars in 2020 mission, but it already covered up proof of life from the 1976 Viking mission

The Mars 2020 mission will use advanced technology to seek signs of microbial life, but has it already been discovered on the Red Planet? NASA’s upcoming Mars mission scheduled to launch in the July/August 2020 time frame will use X-ray fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy in its quest to detect biosignatures on rocks. According to one […]
