A window into Europa's ocean lies right at the surface
If you could lick the surface of Jupiter's icy moon Europa, you would actually be sampling a bit of the ocean beneath. So says Mike Brown, an astronomer at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). View More (2013-03-06)
Modeling Jupiter and Saturn's possible origins
New theoretical modeling by Carnegie's Alan Boss provides clues to how the gas giant planets in our solar system-Jupiter and Saturn-might have formed and evolved. His work was published recently by the Astrophysical Journal. View More (2013-03-06)
Goddard Lab Works at Extreme Edge of Cosmic Ice
Behind locked doors, in a lab built like a bomb shelter, Perry Gerakines makes something ordinary yet truly alien: ice. View More (2013-03-05)
Resurrection of 3-billion-year-old antibiotic-resistance proteins
Scientists are reporting "laboratory resurrections" of several 2-3-billion-year-old proteins that are ancient ancestors of the enzymes that enable today's antibiotic-resistant bacteria to shrug off huge doses of penicillins, cephalosporins and other modern drugs. View More (2013-02-28)
The saline hiding places for bacteria in Río Tinto could be like those on Mars
Researchers at the Centre of Astrobiology have identified microorganisms that live inside salt deposits in the acidic and ferrous environment of the Tinto River in Huelva, Spain. View More (2013-01-11)
Plumes across the Pacific deliver thousands of microbial species to West Coast
A surprising number of microorganisms - 99 percent more kinds than had been reported in findings published just four months ago - are leaping the biggest gap on the planet. View More (2012-12-18)
Can life emerge on planets around cooling stars?
Astronomers find planets in strange places and wonder if they might support life. View More (2012-11-30)
A windshield wiper for Mars dust is developed
A team of researchers at Universidad Carlos III in Madrid (UC3M) has developed a device that works as a windshield wiper to eliminate Mars dust from the sensors on the NASA spacecrafts that travel to the red planet. View More (2012-09-25)
Slow-moving rocks better odds that life crashed to Earth from space
Microorganisms that crashed to Earth embedded in the fragments of distant planets might have been the sprouts of life on this one, according to new research from Princeton University, the University of Arizona and the Centro de Astrobiología (CAB) in Spain. View More (2012-09-25)
Supernova progenitor found?
Type Ia supernovae are violent stellar explosions. Observations of their brightness are used to determine distances in the universe and have shown scientists that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. View More (2012-08-06)
NASA and University Researchers Find a Clue to How Life Turned Left
Researchers analyzing meteorite fragments that fell on a frozen lake in Canada have developed an explanation for the origin of life's handedness - why living things only use molecules with specific orientations. View More (2012-07-26)
Arctic bacteria help in the search to find life on moon Europa
In a fjord in Canada scientists have found a landscape similar to one of Jupiter's icy moons: Europa. View More (2012-05-31)
Mars missions may learn from meteor Down Under
A discovery about the make-up of the atmosphere of Mars could help inform future missions searching for life there. View More (2012-05-31)
Free-floating planets in the Milky Way outnumber stars by factors of thousands
A few hundred thousand billion free-floating life-bearing Earth-sized planets may exist in the space between stars in the Milky Way. View More (2012-05-11)
Asteroid craters on Earth give clues in search for life on Mars
Craters made by asteroid impacts may be the best place to look for signs of life on other planets, a study suggests. View More (2012-04-17)
Hazy shades of life on early Earth
A 'see-sawing' atmosphere over 2.5 billion years ago preceded the oxygenation of our planet and the development of complex life on Earth, a new study has shown. View More (2012-03-19)
Meteorites Reveal Another Way to Make Life's Components
Creating some of life's building blocks in space may be a bit like making a sandwich - you can make them cold or hot, according to new NASA research. View More (2012-03-12)
Microbial oasis discovered beneath the Atacama Desert
Two metres below the surface of the Atacama Desert there is an 'oasis' of microorganisms. Researchers from the Center of Astrobiology (Spain) and the Catholic University of the North in Chile have found it in hypersaline substrates thanks to SOLID, a detector for signs of life which could be used in environments similar to subsoil on Mars.

Scripps Research Team Proves Plausibility of New Primordial Pathway to Life's Chemical Building Blocks
For decades, chemists considered a chemical pathway known as the formose reaction the only route for producing sugars essential for life to begin, but more recent research has called into question the plausibility of such thinking. View More (2012-02-01)
Setting the stage for life: Scientists make key discovery about the atmosphere of early Earth
Scientists in the New York Center for Astrobiology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have used the oldest minerals on Earth to reconstruct the atmospheric conditions present on Earth very soon after its birth. View More (2011-12-01)
