We interview Sergio Martín, an astronomer from the ALMA project in Chile, who stresses that the discovery has been detected "at the limit of the capacity of our most powerful telescope." However, it is still one of the most important findings in the field of astrobiology.

On September 2, a news item with great impact in the media was made public: the greater detection with gravitational waves of the collision of two black holes; that is, the most massive black hole detected with gravitational waves. What impact does this finding have on science?

Microsoft has helped NOAA scientists study AI-supplied data on Arctic species. Information that can be crucial to better understand animal behavior and, at the same time, to modify that of humans.

After a brief decrease in emissions of 17% as a result of the confinement, a new scientific report warns that this will not be enough to cause a significant reduction in emissions and, of course, it will not be relevant enough to reverse or stop from somehow the climate change in which we are already immersed.

A report published in Nature Astronomy that the upper levels of Venus's atmosphere contain a molecule that is a possible sign of life has been something of a 'shock'.

A study just published in 'Nature Astronomy' describes the detection of phosphine in the clouds of Venus: it is a molecule that, on Earth, is excreted by microbes that thrive in oxygen-free environments. We collect expert feedback to understand this discovery.

During the month of July, we witnessed the launch of no less than 3 Martian exploration missions: the United Emirates mission, Mars Hope; the China Tianwen-1 mission; and the US mission Perseverance.
