“The star’s light output was nice and flat but starting in 2016 it had these three dips in brightness. And then, right around 2021, it went completely bonkers,” said Anastasios (Andy) Tzanidakis. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

Dr. Colin Wilson: “But there’s another side to it: the structure and contents of a planet’s atmosphere influence how radio signals travel through space.” www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

Dr. Sara Santos: “The research is about understanding the viability of growing crops on the moon. How do we transform this regolith into soil? What kinds of natural mechanisms can cause this conversion?” www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

Dr. Vishal Gajjar: “If a signal gets broadened by its own star’s environment, it can slip below our detection thresholds, even if it’s there, potentially helping explain some of the radio silence we’ve seen in technosignature searches.” www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

A study in Nature Astronomy suggests that super-Earths between 3–6 Earth masses can generate magnetic fields stronger than Earth's for billions of years, potentially making them more hospitable to life by shielding their atmospheres from space radiation. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

Ocean worlds are planetary bodies, primarily moons and dwarf planets, with amounts of liquid water. While Earth is the only world with confirmed surface oceans, several bodies in our solar system are known or hypothesized to have large subsurface oceans beneath icy crusts.

“Life might actually survive being ejected from one planet and moving to another,” said Dr. K.T. Ramesh. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

“Not all of these satellites are known to have oceans, but we know that some do,” said Dr. Max Rudolph. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

“It seems that there’s something very damaging in MGS-1 that can dissolve in water — maybe salts or some other compound,” said Dr. Corien Bakermans. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

“By combining different feedstocks, like metal and ceramics, in the printing process, we found that the final material is really sensitive to the environment,” said Sizhe Xu. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

“In lunar and Martian outposts, organic wastes will be key to generating healthy, productive soils,” said Harrison Coker. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

“Our results show that even during Mars’ most recent volcanic period, magma systems beneath the surface remained active and complex,” said Dr. Bartosz Pieterek. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

Dr. Olivier Mousis: “Our findings suggest that Jupiter’s moons did not form as chemically pristine worlds.” www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

“This is the first time we've been able to see Uranus's upper atmosphere in three dimensions,” said Paola Tiranti. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

Most microbes aboard the International Space Station can extract valuable metals like palladium from meteorite material in microgravity, showing potential for sustainable space resource mining. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

Astronomers have found an Earth-sized exoplanet, HD 137010 b, orbiting a nearby Sun-like star but likely far too cold to be habitable. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

Dr. Ryan Cloutier: “We’ve seen this pattern: rocky inside, gaseous outside, across hundreds of planetary systems. But now, the discovery of a rocky planet in the outer part of a system forces us to rethink the timing and conditions under which rocky planets can form.”

“Since the Apollo era, we’ve known about the prevalence of lobate scarps throughout the lunar highlands, but this is the first time scientists have documented the widespread prevalence of similar features throughout the lunar mare,” said Dr. Cole Nypaver. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

Dr. Craig Walton: “This makes searching for life on other planets a lot more specific. We should look for solar systems with stars that resemble our own Sun.” www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

“Our results flip the script on how we have typically thought amino acids formed in asteroids,” said Dr. Allison Baczynski. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

"The available data allow us to confirm and measure only the portion of the cavity close to the skylight,” said Dr. Lorenzo Bruzzone. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

“This is the first time such an extensive electromagnetic reach by Enceladus has been observed, proving that this small moon acts as a giant planetary-scale Alfvén wave generator,” said Dr. Thomas Chust. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

"These results add a vital new piece to the incomplete puzzle of how Mars has been losing its water over billions of years and shows that short but intense episodes can play a relevant role in the climate evolution of the Red Planet," said Dr. Shohei Aoki. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

"We know there's this constant heat that's being input into the solar wind, and we want to understand what mechanisms are actually leading to that heating," said Dr. Kristopher Klein. www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

“When the effect of perchlorate on just the bacteria is studied in isolation, it is a stressful factor,” said Swati Dubey. “But in the bricks, with the right ingredients in the mixture, perchlorate is helping.” www.labroots.com/trending/spa...

Dr. Mohammad Farhat: “Two things can happen: Either the planet gets very, very close to the binary, suffering tidal disruption or being engulfed by one of the stars, or its orbit gets significantly perturbed by the binary to be eventually ejected from the system." www.labroots.com/trending/spa...
