NASA’s OSIRIS-REx Mission Finds Stardust in Asteroid Bennu Older Than the Solar System
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has found presolar stardust grains inside Bennu’s samples. These tiny particles, older than the Sun, carry chemical fingerprints of ancient stars and interstellar space. Bennu thus serves as a pristine time capsule, preserving the earliest clues to the birth of our solar system.

Devil Comet’s Water Matches Earth, Strengthening Theory of Cosmic Origins
Astronomers discovered that the water in Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, known as the “Devil Comet,” is nearly identical to Earth’s. Using ALMA and IRTF data, they mapped cometary water for the first time. The findings bolster the theory that comets delivered water to Earth, enabling life’s emergence.

New Study Reveals Chemical Secret Of Earth's 4.5 Years Billion Crust
Earth is the only known planet which has plate tectonics today. The constant movement of these giant slabs of rock over the planet's magma creates continents - and may have even helped create life.

115 Decaying Dead Bodies Improperly Stored at Colorado's 'Green' Funeral Home
At least 115 decomposing bodies were found at an eco-friendly funeral home after a foul odor emanated from the facility.

Traces of Indigenous Gas Found in Meteorite to Shed Light on Moon’s Origin
A recent study has suggested that the Moon may have inherited some noble gases, such as neon and helium, deep from the Earth's mantle. The discovery was made by analysing lunar meteorites found in Antarctica. Upon analysing the glass particles, the team found chemical fingerprints or isotopic signatures of the solar gases in them.
