It is possible that "NASA" may build homes on "Mars" as astronauts may live longer than expected once they land on the planet. The design for the possible home to be built in the planet is shaped like an igloo.
Mars and Earth are at their closest encounter in more than a decade with only 47 million miles separating the two planets. The closest recorded encounter in the last 60, 000 years was in 2003 when the two cosmic buddies are only 35 million miles apart.
NASA has released to the public stunning pictures of Pluto captured by the New Horizons spaceprobe intended to observe the ex-ninth planet and its surrounding moons. The space mission’s foray into the fringes of the solar system also hopes to study the Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) that may help explain the origins of the solar system.
A new study shows that the Antarctic Ocean remains uninfluenced by climate change as well as global warming due to "deep, old water" that is continuously pulled up to the ocean's surface.
By simulating Mars-like conditions, researchers find that the dark streaks on Mars' slopes may have been created by boiling water.
An international group of astronomers has just spotted three planets with seemingly Earth-like attributes that appear to be revolving around an ‘ultracool dwarf star’. Scientists think that the next step of their discovery is to uncover the possibility of life on these other worlds.
The experiment to create ribose in conditions similar to that of a comet's icy surface strengthen the theory that a comet or asteroid strike could have triggered life on Earth.
The discoveries were made NASA's NEOWISE. Around 72 Near Earth Objects were found in the mission's second year.
The system is around 680 light years from Earth. The planet's proximity to its sun causes its atmosphere to inflate due to heat.
The planet HD 80606b exists around 190 light-years from Earth. It is said to be migrating towards a more stable inner orbit.
The planet's orbit was estimated based on the gravitational force it exerts on some Kuiper Belt Objects.
Light from the star is being blocked in an inexplicable manner that has left both scientists and amateurs searching for an answer.
Scientists have to explain how salt got to Ceres' surface, beside explaining other features including unusual crates and a tall peak with shinning slopes.
The tree has been a collaboration among 11 institutions. It traces the roots of nearly 2.3 million named species. Researchers have also made provisions to allow researchers to add more species as they are discovered. The tree is open source and available online.
Dawn recently shared images of Ceres from an altitude of 915 miles showing the spots to be a cluster on the dwarf planet's landscape.
