NASA scientists have found some fascinating new clues in the search for life on Mars. They revealed their findings in three new papers published in the peer-reviewed journal Science
Oftentimes we see the terms comets, meteoroids, and asteroids being confused with one another. So what are they, and what is actually the difference between these objects?
Our ideas about water on planets may have been a tad too Earth-centric. Swiss researchers have recently determined that liquid water can exist for billions of years on exotic planets that we would previously have ignored.
Research published in the International Journal of Astrobiology proposes a fascinating theory where advanced extraterrestrial civilizations can travel among the stars without the need for an interstellar spaceship.
