Four Years Later, More Evidence for Life on Venus Has Been Found
Four years ago a team of scientists found potential evidence of life in the atmosphere of our closest planetary neighbor, Venus, despite the metal-meltingly hot temperature and crushing pressure experienced on the surface; however, this discovery was followed shortly afterward by a dismissal of the claims, after subsequent searches failed to yield the same results. Now, the […]
A New Study of Cracked Quartz Adds New Evidence to the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis
New evidence for a massive, high-altitude explosion caused by a comet impacting the Earth’s atmosphere over North America 12,900 years ago—referred to as the Younger Dryas impact—has been unveiled, following an analysis of fractured quartz crystals discovered at sites along the U.S. east coast of that appear to have been affected by a meteor impact. Shortly after the ice sheets that covered North […]
Yet Another Key Ingredient for the Formation of Life has been Found on the Icy Moon Enceladus
Yet another key ingredient in the recipe for biological life has been found on Saturn’s icy moon, Enceladus, a chemical compound that, in addition to being a potential energy source for primitive organisms, could also act as a basis for the formation of organic molecules that are essential for the formation of life as we know […]
An Interstellar Update: Data from Interstellar Meteor 1 Indicates That It Is From Beyond Our Solar System
The former Chair of Harvard University’s Astronomy Department, Avi Loeb, has provided an update on the material collected from the first known interstellar meteorite to strike the Earth, Interstellar meteor (IM1); not only does this early analysis bolster the idea that IM1 is from beyond our solar system, but Loeb has also found another candidate […]
