NASA remarkedFreya Castleis merely the latest in a series of intriguing rocks found recently on the Martian surface. The question these rocks have scientists asking now is, “Could this be the first glimpse at ancient rocks uplifted from depth by the Jezero impact, now exposed on the crater ...

Perhaps you and I, and everything that’s living on the planet, are Martians!’” Curiosity and its mission have been making more headlines than usual recently, with ground-breaking new findings from within Gale Crater. The geographical feature measures a hundred miles across and three miles de...
investigation of anti-tumoral effects observed when certain quinones are combined with ascorbic acid. Academic researchers first reported profound, selective anti-cancer effects in the 1980s. Hundreds of papers have been published recently on the effects of quinones and ascorbic acid on cancer and ...
Spaceship Discovery - Vehicle Architecture for Human Exploration of Moon, Mars, and Beyond With the recently revived interest in space exploration, this design study was undertaken by the author in an attempt to design a vehicle architecture that could achieve the national vision of human travel "...
Recently discovered in the French Jura mountains, this cave develops through a drumlin from the last glacial stage MIS 2 (Wurm). With >600 m of conduits mapped in 3D, this cave constitutes a geomorphological curiosity, because up to now subglacial sediments were not known to contain such long...
Methane keeps Mars scientists busy with lab work and computer modeling projects that aim to explain why the gas behaves strangely and is detected only in Gale Crater. A NASA research group recently shared an interesting proposal. This is a sample of mock Martian regolith, which is “soil” mad...
More recently, New Horizons, a mission to Pluto, added to these observations during its flyby of Jupiter in 2007, finding the planet changed since previous looks by NASA - the Galileo spacecraft burned up in Jupiter's atmosphere in fall 2003. New Horizons spent about six months observing the...
Recently, a newdiscoveryhas been made in the field of biology that challenges our previous understanding of the origins of life on Earth. For decades, scientists believed that life emerged in a warm, shallow pond, where a series of chemical reactions led to the creation of the first living ...
The debate over Plates status started in 1992.After an advanced telescope was sent into space, astronomers started to find a belt of objects, which lies beyond Neptune.The belt contains nearly 1,000 objects, including Pluto.As they continued the exploration, scientists recently discovered at least...
