The search for habitable worlds continues to be at the forefront of scientists and we are getting more accurate and more frequent data. Now, according to data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, has an underground ocean of salt water and the amount of water is such that it even exceeds all the water that the Earth has on its surface. . The research has been published in the Journal of Geophysical Research.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is around 50% larger than previously thought, as confirmed by a new study led by Heidi Jo Newberg of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and whose findings have been published in the Astrophysical Journal.
The latest data collected by the Cassini space probe confirm that hydrothermal activity existed under the icy crust of Enceladus, one of Saturn's 60 moons. And this new information suggests the presence of an underground ocean, about 10 kilometers thick; a situation that had already arisen before, due to the ice with sodium salt that emanates from the cracks of Enceladus and whose origin is supposed to be from the liquid water reservoirs that are under that frozen layer.
Morocco has been the scene of the discovery of new fossils of a prehistoric marine creature from 450 million years ago that has revealed new details about the evolution of the ancestors of modern crustaceans, insects and arthropods. The discovery, made by a team of researchers from the universities of Oxford (UK) and Yale (USA), has been published in the journal Nature.
A team of astronomers from the University of Cambridge, UK, has identified what look like nine tiny galaxies orbiting our own. Although they are not the first objects of this type to be discovered in the vicinity of the Milky Way, it is the first time that so many have been located at once.
The red planet housed an early ocean that contained more water than our planet's Arctic Ocean and that would have covered a larger part of its surface than the Atlantic Ocean occupies on Earth.
A team of astronomers led by Stephan Geier from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Garching (Germany) has discovered a star that moves at an unparalleled speed: about 1,200 kilometers per second, a speed so high that it has broken the record of speed in our galaxy. The finding has been published in the journal Science.
Shortly after dawn, the Solar Impulse 2 plane took off this Monday from Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, with a historic roadmap: to go around the world using only solar energy.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
