11 billion year old interstellar comet traced to a lonely frozen corner of Milky Way

Astronomers say Comet 3I/Atlas is an interstellar visitor likely among the oldest ever confirmed, possibly dating back about 11 billion years. Traced to a cold, isolated part of the Milky Way that hadn’t yet formed a solar system, it arrived harmlessly after being discovered last summer. Multiple telescopes tracked it as it passed Mars and approached Earth in late 2024.

Artemis astronauts will map the Moon using their eyes not gadgets

Artemis astronauts will map the Moon using their eyes not gadgets

Artemis astronauts on a Moon flyby will rely on their eyes as a primary scientific instrument, trained like field observers rather than just technology operators. Building on Apollo’s legacy, they’ll examine lunar sites and phenomena, focusing on subtle color variations to infer composition and history. Mission reports are expected to deliver unusually detailed human descriptions of the lunar surface.

Chile prepares mission to test Earth’s toughest microbes in oxygen free space

Chile prepares mission to test Earth’s toughest microbes in oxygen free space

Chilean scientists are gearing up for a landmark space mission designed to see how life behaves under space conditions. The spacecraft will carry six microorganisms taken from extreme habitats such as the Atacama Desert and Antarctica, then test their survival in an oxygen free environment. Researchers hope the results will clarify how life may begin and persist beyond Earth.
