From inflatable and 3D-printed structures to entire habitats, architecture plays an unprecedented role in space exploration missions. AsNASAplans for long-term human exploration of the Moon andMarsunderArtemisan
“We’re finding places on Mars that used to look like ancient beaches and ancient river deltas,” Benjamin Cardenas, a Penn State assistant professor of geology and study co-author, said in an accompanying statement. “We found evidence for wind, waves, no shortage of sand—a proper, vaca...
Any evidence of the reservoir on the surface could have been erased or distorted by billions of years of wind erosion or other geological processes. That is not the case with these newly found structures, which were preserved over time under material deposited by dust storms, meteorite strike...
While the Tharsis bulge and Valles Marineris are impressive, in general, we see fewer tectonic structures on Mars than on Venus. In part, this may reflect a lower general level of geological activity, as would be expected for a smaller planet. But it is also possible that evidence of widesp...
We just got our best views yet of the eerie alien aurora on Mars. The United Arab Emirates' Hope orbiter, which arrived at the red planet earlier this year, used its ultraviolet spectrometer to catch glowing structures of glowing atomic oxygen high up in the Martian night sky. ...
The fossil evidence of early life on Earth provides clues as to what form fossils on Mars might take. Of particular interest are stromatolites, macroscopic layered structures that result from the anchoring of sediments by microorganisms living in the photic zone. Since over two thirds of the ...
NASA revealed that its Perseverance rover may have found evidence of past life on Mars in the Jezero crater beside an ancient, dried-up river.
The dusty red planet has fascinated us for centuries. Even as we learn more, its mysteries keep us in suspense.
[structures in free space rather than on a planet or moon], which could house millions. These colonies would be positioned to construct massive solar power satellites to provide clean power to the Earth, as well as set up industries that on Earth create much environmental damage. Far from ...
The university also said there’s some recent evidence of “greenmuting” by firms who are downplaying sustainability initiatives as they come under scrutiny from regulators and the consumers, even though they may still pursue these initiatives behind the scenes. Signs of strong CSR reports In ...
