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.

Could there be even more powerful versions? Of course; it's just that we haven't detected it yet. Our instruments are limited.

It is the largest digital camera in the world and will be installed at the Vera Rubin Observatory located in Chile.

This new astronomical theory suggests that these invisible boson stars could weigh millions of times what a normal star weighs.

This is good news for NASA, as the intention is to take humans into space for longer periods than today.

How is it possible for the Moon to rust if it is a world without oxygen or liquid water? A team of scientists has found the person in charge.
