In a nod to extraterrestrial mountaineers of the future, scientists working on NASA’s Cassini mission have identified the highest point on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan.
Solar storms are triggering X-ray auroras on Jupiter that are about eight times brighter than normal over a large area of the planet and hundreds of times more energetic than Earth’s “northern lights,” according to a new study using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory.
Researchers grew microbes collected from sports teams, historical monuments, museums, spacecraft, and schools and sent them to the International Space Station (ISS) for growth in space. While most of the microbes looked similar on Earth and in space, one type of bacteria actually grew much better in space.
Two comets that will safely fly past Earth later this month may have more in common than their intriguingly similar orbits. They may be twins of a sort.
This is a representation of how the earth moves through our galaxy.
If all these universes emerged from the same Big Bang, then they’re likely sitting together in a row, vibrating.
NASA has developed special instrumentation allowing them to harness these sounds through several NASA space probes using Plasma Wave Antennae.
This new study was able to reveal a total number of nine very massive stars in the cluster, all more than 100 times more massive as the Sun.
Since those ices are denser than water, the ice mountains float on them like icebergs on water.
“Different extraterrestrial groups had established colonies on the Earth’s surface where long term genetic experiments had begun.”
