Venus' Clouds Could Harbor Life: MIT Study Finds Amino Acids Stable in Sulfuric Acid
Friday, 22 March 2024 21:39
If there is life in the solar system beyond Earth, it might be found in the clouds of Venus. In contrast to the planet's blisteringly inhospitable surface, Venus' cloud layer, which extends from 30 to 40 miles above the surface, hosts milder temperatures that could support some extreme forms of life.
If it's out there, scientists have assumed that any Venusian cloud inhabitant would look v Unveiling hydrogen's role in life's early energy mechanisms
Friday, 22 March 2024 21:39
A study reveals that hydrogen gas, known as a modern clean fuel, was also a fundamental energy source at the dawn of life nearly 4 billion years ago. This discovery underscores hydrogen's longstanding significance in both ancient biological processes and its potential in future sustainable energy solutions.

NASA's tiny BurstCube mission launches to study cosmic blasts
Friday, 22 March 2024 15:59

NASA's BurstCube, a shoebox-sized satellite designed to study the universe's most powerful explosions, is on its way to the International Space Station.
The spacecraft travels aboard SpaceX's 30th Commercial Resupply Services mission, which lifted off at 4:55 p.m. EDT on Thursday, March 21, from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. After arriving at the station, BurstCube will be unpacked and later released into orbit, where it will detect, locate, and study short gamma-ray bursts—brief flashes of high-energy light.
"BurstCube may be small, but in addition to investigating these extreme events, it's testing new technology and providing important experience for early career astronomers and aerospace engineers," said Jeremy Perkins, BurstCube's principal investigator at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
