This Alien Planet Has Astronomers Puzzled. Defies Current Understanding Of Physics
Astronomers have spotted orbiting around a young star a newborn planet that took only 3 million years to form - quite swift in cosmic terms - in a discovery that challenges the current understanding of the speed of planetary formation.

NASA New Study Challenges RNA's Role in Life’s Molecular Handedness Mystery
NASA-backed research published in Nature Communications has found that RNA molecules exhibit no chemical preference for left- or right-handed amino acids under simulated early-Earth conditions. This discovery, led by UCLA researchers, challenges the idea that RNA played a decisive role in determining the molecular handedness seen in modern life, kn...

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Finds Organic Molecules on Mars
NASA’s Perseverance rover has discovered possible organic molecules on Mars using the SHERLOC instrument. While these findings are intriguing, the scientific community remains divided. Some believe the signals suggest ancient life, while others argue the data could point to non-organic sources. The debate underscores the difficulty of interpretin...

Chandrayaan-2 Lunar Orbiter Avoided Collision With Danuri Spacecraft in September, Reveals ISRO
In September, India’s Chandrayaan-2 orbiter made a crucial trajectory change to avoid colliding with South Korea’s Danuri spacecraft. This adjustment came after multiple collision alerts had been issued due to the shared near-polar orbits of Chandrayaan-2, Danuri, and NASA’s LRO.

NASA Explains Cause Behind the Moon Drifting Away From Earth
NASA explains that the Moon is gradually moving away from Earth at a rate of 4 cm per year. This process is driven by tidal forces between the two bodies, with Earth’s oceans creating friction that transfers energy to the Moon, pushing it into a higher orbit.

NASA’s Curiosity Rover Concludes Sulphur Study in Gediz Vallis; Mars Journey Continues
NASA’s Curiosity rover has completed its study of Mars’ Gediz Vallis channel, capturing key images of the sulphur deposits discovered within. The rover's next mission will explore a unique geological formation called the Boxwork. Located in the foothills of Mount Sharp, Gediz Vallis is important for understanding the transition from Mars’ wet...
