Earth’s Oldest Impact Crater Turns Out to Be Much Younger, Scientists Reveal in New Study
The Miralga impact crater in Western Australia, once thought to be Earth’s oldest at 3.5 billion years, has now been redated to after 2.7 billion years ago. With a revised diameter of just 16 kilometers, the structure no longer supports theories of early crust or life formation, but remains scientifically valuable for studying Mars-like planetary...

Scientists Explore Role of Space Radiation in Powering Alien Microbial Life
A new study proposes that life may exist far from sunlight in a “radiolytic habitable zone” deep beneath the icy surfaces of Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Cosmic rays, which can penetrate rock and ice, break water molecules apart to release hydrogen, oxygen, and energy-rich electrons. These can fuel microbes in subsurface water, much like bacter...

Smithsonian Air and Space Museum Reopens with SpaceX Rocket, Mars Habitat and More
The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum has reopened five state-of-the-art galleries, blending historic aviation milestones with futuristic space technology. Highlights include SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket parts, a 3D-printed Mars habitat, and the revived “Friendship 7” capsule. Part of a $900 million overhaul, the exhibits mark a bold step...

New Study Reveals Mars Faced Heavy Rains: Possible Clue to Ancient Life
The revelation that Mars once had Earth-like rainfall reshapes our understanding of planetary evolution. The insights support the theory that early Mars was far more hospitable than previously believed, possibly housing primitive life forms. The findings could guide future missions like NASA’s Perseverance in locating signs of fossilised organism...
