New Experiments Suggest Life Could Endure Venus’ Sulfuric Acid Clouds

Astronomy, Planetary Science /

While Venus may seem inhospitable to us, there’s a possibility that certain life forms could adapt to its conditions. A recent investigation by MIT reveals that the essential components of life remain remarkably stable in highly concentrated sulfuric acid, which comprises Venus’ clouds. Early science fiction authors were able to envision Venus as a paradise

Cosmic Billiards: 1.3M Asteroid Paths Checked for 2029 Impact

Astronomy, Planetary Science /

In 2029, a sizable asteroid will pass by Earth at such proximity that it will be observable without telescopic aid. Fortunately, calculations of its trajectory suggest that there’s no risk of impact in the next hundred years. However, there’s a question of whether interactions with other asteroids could alter its path toward us. To investigate

Juno Alters Europa’s Life Prospects

Astronomy, Planetary Science, Science /

Information gathered by NASA’s Juno spacecraft orbiting Jupiter indicates that Europa, one of its moons, generates approximately 26 pounds (12 kilograms) of oxygen per second, a significantly lower amount than previously thought. This discovery alters the likelihood of discovering life in Europa’s underground ocean. Since the initial Voyager missions that passed Jupiter in 1979, there
