WASHINGTON — NASA has awarded a $30 million contract to a startup to attempt to boost the orbit of an astronomy satellite before it reenters next year. NASA announced Sept.
For a planet already famous for its beauty and mysteries, Saturn just became even more enigmatic. Fresh observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) — the most detailed yet
Apollo Lunar Sample Return Container (ALSRC) – National Air and Space Museum Physical samples and their associated data and metadata underpin scientific discoveries across disciplines and can enable new science
Visual Abstract — JACS Au via PubMed The emergence of biomolecules on the primordial Earth represents a pivotal scientific question for understanding the origin of life. Recent studies show that
A classification scheme for volatile-rich sub-Neptunes. The schematic compares different types of sub-Neptunes with H2 and H2O dominated atmospheres as a function of the equilibrium temperature and H2 content. Ice
LOS ANGELES, CA – September 25, 2025 – Proteus Space, a leading innovator in rapid satellite design, digital modeling, AI&T, flight and operations solutions, has been selected by NASA for
Journey of a noncanonical amino acid into a polypeptide. The cell takes up the ncAA from its environment or biosynthesizes it. The ncAA should not interfere with the host metabolism
Sensitivity analysis of our model to the oxygen atom diffusion energy for CO2 ice (dashed lines) and FA (suming c-t abundances). Values are represented with respect to H2O column density-
This study investigates the relative contributions of brine composition and UV photochemistry in biosignature preservation in hypersaline environments on Earth and in space using Halobacterium salinarum cell envelopes. — Nature
