Proposed formation pathways of biorelevant molecules (red arrows) in hydrogen cyanide (HCN)-containing interstellar ices and their role as precursors to biorelevant molecules such as amino acids and nucleobases. In prebiotic
Jupiter’s icy moon Europa is a tantalizing target in the search for habitability in our Solar System. Its thick, global ice sheet overlies a warm, salty, chemically-rich ocean. But for
The light, rare element boron, better known as the primary component of borax, a longtime household cleaner, was almost mined to exhaustion in parts of the old American West. But
NASA is currently training its latest group of astronaut candidates at the Johnson Space Center in Texas. This extensive training program, spanning almost two years, commenced in September and includes
Dr. Leonardos Gkouvelis, researcher at LMU’s University Observatory Munich and member of the ORIGINS Excellence Cluster, has solved a fundamental mathematical problem that had obstructed the interpretation of exoplanet atmospheres
Using data collected by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe during its closest approach to the sun, a University of Arizona-led research team has measured the dynamics and ever-changing “shell” of hot
When the rover now named Perseverance landed in Jezero crater in early 2021, scientists already knew they had picked an interesting place to scope out. From space, they could see
