Life In Planet

Titan, the moon of the second-largest planet in our solar system is believed to be one of the most hospitable worlds

NASA’s Perseverance rover has made a bizarre discovery on Mars: a rock that strikingly resembles a human head. Captured on 27 September 2024, the image showcases the rock's peculiar shape and orientation, which play tricks on our brains, a phenomenon known as pareidolia. This occurrence leads us to see familiar patterns, like faces, in random obj...

China announced plans to launch a manned lunar mission, construct a lunar space station and explore habitable planets and extra-terrestrial life to expand its space programme in the next few decades.

China has revealed plans to construct a lunar space station, with the goal of exploring habitable planets and searching for extraterrestrial life. The country will launch a manned lunar mission in the next few years as part of its long-term space programme, which spans from 2024 to 2050. China’s key priorities include studying planetary atmospher...

Recent research based on data from NASA’s InSight mission has identified a substantial underground reservoir on Mars. This reservoir, located between 7 and 12 miles below the Martian surface, could hold enough water to cover the planet to a depth of 1 mile. The data, gathered by InSight’s seismometer between 2018 and 2022, suggests that water i...

A new study has suggested that chimpanzees might be capable of more than just grunts and hoots and that they might just need the right nurturing environment to unleash their vocal potential.

Earth itself is approximately 4.5 billion years old, indicating life originated when the planet was still in its infancy.

US space agency NASA is hoping to land the first humans on Mars by the 2030s and SpaceX chief Elon Musk recently said that humans could be living in a city on the Red Planet in the next 30 years.

Alien life might be purple, a new research published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has found.

Webb found a possible sign of gas that is produced by simple marine organisms detected in the atmosphere of a planet named K2-18b

Are we alone? This question is nearly as old as humanity itself. Today, this question in astronomy focuses on finding life beyond our planet. Are we, as a species, and as a planet, alone? Or is there life somewhere else?

Strange Planet, which begun as a web comic series by cartoonist Nathan W. Pyle, has been adapted for the screen in accurate fashion. The series, which follows a race of beings on a different planet that is quite similar to Earth, sees the beings take an excessively literal approach to life and conversations.

A sample from the asteroid Bennu, which could be key to understanding the formation of the solar system and our own planet, is set to be analyzed at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston after it reaches Earth in late September.

U.S. President Joe Biden addressed the COP27 climate conference in Egypt on Friday, saying the global climate crisis posed an existential threat to the planet and promising that the United States was doing its part to combat it.

A water drop discovered on specks of dust from Ryugu, an asteroid close to Earth, has offered new support for the theory that life on the planet was seeded from outer space. The sample of the asteroid retrieved by the Hayabusa-2 probe has already showed that some of the building blocks of life on Earth, amino acids, may have been formed in space. T...
