The planet closest to Mercury may be suitable for the creation of life. Such an unexpected conclusion was drawn by specialists from the Institute of Planetary Science, who believe that everything is needed in this tiny world that is necessary for the appearance of microorganisms. Although the planet is rich in practically inexhaustible energy reserves, […]
Although life in the universe appears to be a rather rare and fragile system, its stability is astonishing: tiny microorganisms can survive in the most extreme places on our planet – from many kilometers of ocean depth, where there is no light or heat, to hot volcanic vents. Scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute […]
There is a large number of animals on our planet that we talk about from time to time. For example, in one of our most recent materials, we found out which of them, like vampires, prefer to eat blood. This time we will talk about the unusual inhabitants of Tasmania and New Guinea who are […]
Europe is one of Jupiter's Galilean satellites, orbiting quite close to the giant planet. Scientists have been arguing for some time about the existence of an extraterrestrial life under the thick layer of ice of this little moon, because extensive observations with telescopes and spacecraft flying past a satellite have shown that the global ocean […]
In an unprecedented hunt for alien civilizations, astronomers initially survey the entire sky with 28 giant radio telescopes. The project is a collaboration between the SETI Institute and one of the world's most powerful Very Large Arrey (VLA) radio observatories in New Mexico. Access to all data collected by the VLA in real time is […]
New NASA missions aim to find traces of life on Venus and some satellites of the giant planets of the solar system, the portal newscientist.com says. As part of the Discovery Agency program, which funds relatively inexpensive missions in our solar system, four new missions were selected that aim to visit the least explored worlds […]
Humans have been looking for signs of extraterrestrial life for decades. During that time, we had to learn to hear distant stars, find radio signals from black holes and magnetars, and study even the smallest changes in the brilliance of stars to invent ever more sophisticated technologies to observe them every day. Despite all human […]
Titan is most similar to the Earth object of the solar system, which has its own seasons. There are rivers, lakes and even seas. The only difference is that the average temperatures in this place, which is far from the sun, never exceed -180 degrees. The liquid is represented by methane and ethane – substances […]
Scientists at the MDI Biological Laboratory, Buck Institute for Aging Research and Nanjing University recently shocked the medical world by announcing that they could extend the life of the threadworm Caenorhabditis elegans by 500%. C. elegans worms are widely used in the study of aging. Despite the fact that they are biologically far from humans, […]
Scientists today know that our cells accumulate damage to DNA over time. Some cells successfully correct the damage, while others destroy themselves. And the third – pensioner – stops growing or sharing and enters what we call aging. With increasing age, the number of such cells in the body increases and over time they become […]
