JUNO Neutrino Detector Nears Completion, Set to Begin Operations in 2025
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), located 700 metres below ground in China, is set to begin operations in summer 2025. Designed as the world’s largest neutrino detector, JUNO aims to determine the heaviest among the three neutrino types. The core of the detector consists of a 35-metre-wide acrylic sphere containing 20,000 metr...

NASA's Dawn Mission Unveils Insights into Vesta’s Mysterious Gullies Using Lab Simulations
NASA’s Dawn mission to the asteroid Vesta revealed mysterious gullies on its surface. New lab experiments, simulating Vesta's harsh vacuum conditions, suggest that liquid water, possibly briny, could have flowed briefly and carved these channels. These findings challenge existing theories about liquid stability on airless bodies and provide insig...

Venus Never Had Oceans or Conditions to Support Life, New Study Finds
Scientists from the University of Cambridge have concluded that Venus likely never had oceans or conditions to support life. Their study, published in Nature Astronomy, analysed atmospheric chemistry and volcanic activity. They found that volcanic gases lacked significant steam, indicating the planet's interior has always been dry. This research ha...

Study Finds Venus Likely Never Had Oceans, Challenging Past Theories
Recent research published in Nature Astronomy challenges past ideas about Venus, suggesting it never had oceans or conditions for life. Analysis of the planet's volcanic gases and atmospheric composition revealed that Venus’s interior is dry, ruling out the presence of liquid water. This conclusion highlights the stark contrast between Venus and ...

NASA’s Viking Mission May Have Destroyed Martian Life with Water Experiments
In 1975, NASA’s Viking mission tested Martian soil for microbial life using liquid water. A recent theory suggests this approach may have destroyed microbes adapted to Mars' dry, salt-driven conditions. Astrobiologist Dirk Schulze-Makuch proposes revisiting our assumptions about life on Mars and prioritising methods suited to its hyperarid enviro...

NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover Uncovers Distinct Red Rocks with Green Spots at 'Serpentine Rapids'
NASA's Mars Perseverance rover has unveiled intriguing findings at Serpentine Rapids, a location characterised by its striking red rocks interspersed with distinctive green spots. These features, observed in a nighttime mosaic captured by the rover's SHERLOC WATSON camera, may provide insights into Mars' geological history. The green spots are thou...

NASA is Sending Europa Clipper to Search for Aliens Near Jupiter's Moon
NASA is set to launch the Europa Clipper mission to explore Jupiter’s moon Europa in search of signs of life. The spacecraft will conduct a detailed investigation of the icy moon, where scientists suspect a liquid ocean exists beneath its frozen surface. Europa Clipper will analyse the moon’s surface, water plumes, and magnetic field to underst...

NASA's Curiosity Rover Provides Insights into Mars' Uninhabitable Climate
NASA's Curiosity rover is providing new insights into how Mars transformed from a potentially habitable planet, abundant in liquid water, to the inhospitable landscape seen today. Researchers discovered that carbon-rich minerals found in Gale Crater indicate extreme evaporation and suggest the planet's climate could support only transient liquid wa...

James Webb Space Telescope Detects Possible Liquid Ocean on Uranus Moon Ariel
The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered intriguing evidence suggesting that Ariel, one of Uranus’s moons, may harbour an underground liquid ocean. This discovery, part of the "Moons of Uranus" project, involved 21 hours of observations focused on detecting water, ammonia, organic molecules, and carbon dioxide ice.
