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...

Early Supernovas Could Have Created Water in the Universe, Paving the Way for Life 100 Million Years Post-Big Bang
A recent study suggests that supernova explosions, triggered by the death of early stars, could have created significant amounts of water just 100 million years after the Big Bang. Simulations of these early, massive stars show that their explosive deaths may have resulted in the formation of water molecules within the dense hydrogen and oxygen clo...

NASA Astronaut Captures Stunning Green Aurora Behind Russian Soyuz Spacecraft Docked at ISS
NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick, aboard the International Space Station, recently captured an extraordinary image of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft with a vibrant green aurora in the background. The photograph, taken during Expedition 71 in 2024, showcases the breathtaking beauty of space and the fascinating interplay between solar activity and Earth...

AI-Powered Robot Chemist Finds Molecule To Make Oxygen On Mars
The robot chemist worked on the samples from Mars for six weeks without any human intervention and synthesised 243 different molecules.

NASA's Perseverance Rover Finds Diverse Set Of Organic Molecules On Mars
Organic molecules are the key building blocks of life on Earth that are made primarily of carbon and hydrogen and often other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulphur.

Plasma-Based Method Utilises Carbon Dioxide on Mars to Make Oxygen
A team of researchers has produced a new plasma-based method through which the resources available in the Martian environment can be utilised to make oxygen. The method would not only allow astronauts to breathe on the planet during future Mars missions, but could also help make fuel, building materials, and fertilisers there.

Mars Is Losing Water Faster Than Expected, Study Claims
Researchers have claimed that Mars, the red planet is losing water more quickly than what theory as well as past observations would suggest.

NASA's OSIRIS-REx Probe Finds Signs of Water on Asteroid Bennu
OSIRIS-REx, which flew last week within a scant 19km of the asteroid Bennu some 2.25 million kilometres from Earth, found traces of hydrogen and oxygen molecules.

Oxygen Detected on Comet for First Time
Scientists have for the first time detected abundant oxygen in the atmosphere of a comet which streaked past the Sun in August, a surprise finding that may change our understanding of the evolution of our solar system.

Discovery of Oxygen on Comet 'Big Surprise': Study
Measurements suggested that oxygen molecules in the comet's gassy halo must have existed "before or at" its formation.
