The future lifespan of the terrestrial biosphere is only significantly shortened if seafloor weathering accounts for a large portion of global silicate weathering (large α) and has a strong feedback

The 0.6-GHz data are much brighter due to reflected synchrotron emission and are, therefore, shown with a different colour scale. The terminator was at approximately 10° W longitude, with the right-hand
Photographs of cyanobacteria-dominated cave biofilms. (a) Nostoc sp. spheres. (b) Picosynechococcus sp. dominated blue-green biofilm on stones. (c) Aphanothece spp. dominated blackish biofilm. (d) Purple biofilm on stones dominated

Enceladus Vent Explorer: Phase II concept. Credits: Masahiro Ono This paper provides key hypotheses to guide future missions to Enceladus for the current decadal cycle and beyond. Enceladus is a
Imaginary depiction of an astrobiologist using a future STELLA device on a distant habitable world — Astrobiology.com/Grok INSET: An example STELLA is shown here during a summer 2023 field-testing session
The subglacial microbiome splits into two clusters. (A) An NMDS on the unaggregated read counts of all taxonomic nodes within 19 abundant subglacial classes splits samples into two clear clusters.
Minimum accreted masses inferred from the five most commonly detected elements (O, Mg, Si, Ca, Fe) as a function of white-dwarf cooling ages (i.e., the time since the white dwarf
