Researchers Suggest Saturn's Titan Moon Formed in a Single High-Energy Impact Event
New research suggests Saturn’s largest moon Titan and its iconic rings may share a violent origin. Simulations indicate Titan formed after a massive collision between two moons about 100 to 200 million years ago, resurfacing Titan and altering its orbit. The resulting instability likely shattered smaller moons, sending icy debris inward to create...

Study Warns Saltwater Intrusion Threatens Global Coastal Groundwater by 2100
A NASA-DOD study indicates that by 2100, 77% of global coastal aquifers will face saltwater intrusion due to rising sea levels and reduced groundwater recharge. This phenomenon, caused by shifting fresh and saltwater dynamics, threatens water quality, agriculture, and infrastructure. Low-lying regions, including Southeast Asia, the U.S. Eastern Sea...

What Studies On Soil Sample From Moon's Far Side Have Found
Volcanic rock in the sample collected by Chang'e-6, the first mission that brought back soil from the far side of the Moon, is about 2.8 billion years old, suggesting the landing site was volcanically active at the time, according to two new studies.

NASA Selects Two Astrophysics Mission Proposals for X-Ray and Far-Infrared Wavelength Observations
NASA has selected two mission proposals for further study, focusing on X-ray and far-infrared wavelengths to explore key cosmic phenomena. The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite, led by Christopher Reynolds, will investigate supermassive black holes and galaxy evolution. The Probe Far-Infrared Mission, led by Jason Glenn, will examine planetary forma...

Scientists Reveal How Space Travel Messes With Human Brain
Space can be an unfriendly place for the human body, with microgravity conditions and other factors tampering with our physiology, from head to toe - head, of course, being a primary concern.

Mars May Be Hiding Most Of Its "Missing" Water Underground: NASA-Funded Study
Vast amounts of ancient water may have been trapped beneath the surface of Mars, according to a NASA-funded study which challenges the current theory that the Red Planet's water escaped into space.

NASA Revels Mars Gullies Are Not Formed By Movement Of Water
The gullies on the surface of Mars, similar to the ones on the Earth, are not carved out by flowing water, US space agency NASA has revealed.

Mars may have flowing salt water: NASA
Scientists have spotted dark stripes on some slopes on Mars in the warmer months, and they believe it may be evidence of flowing salt water, NASA researchers said on Thursday.

NASA says 'no support' for claim of alien microbes
Top NASA scientists have said there was no scientific evidence to support a colleague's claim that fossils of alien microbes born in outer space had been found in meteorites on Earth. The US space agency formally distanced itself from the paper by NASA scientist Richard Hoover, whose findings were published on Friday in the peer-reviewed Journal of...
