NASA announces finalists for next robotic mission to explore the Solar . . . The CAESAR mission will collect a sample from the nucleus of a comet and return it to Earth Image credit: NASA Dragonfly This creative concept consists of a drone-like rotorcraft that would be sent to the complex moon of Saturn, Titan Dragonfly would explore the prebiotic chemistry and habitability of dozens of sites of the methane ocean world
Amazing spacecraft: 15 years of the incredible Cassini mission 15 years and counting, no spacecraft has increased our understanding of the Solar System, particularly Saturn and its surrounding moons, like Cassini has, and it still has five more years to blow our minds again and again before the mission ends with a Saturn impact in 2017
Scientists are now replicating exoplanet atmospheres, on Earth Researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, United States, are cooking up an alien atmosphere right here on Earth In a new study, JPL scientists used a high-temperature “oven” to heat a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide to more than 1,100 degrees Celsius
Heroes of Space: Carl Sagan His interest in space led him to the University of Chicago, where he achieved a PhD in astronomy and astrophysics in 1960 Throughout the Fifties he worked as an adviser to NASA, which included briefing the Apollo astronauts before their flights to the Moon and working on experiments for, among other probes, the Galileo and Voyager spacecraft
Cosmic oddity revealed in greater detail by Hubble Space Telescope New observations from the Hubble Space Telescope have revealed the intricate structure of the galaxy NGC 4696 in greater detail than ever before The elliptical galaxy is a beautiful cosmic oddity with a bright core wrapped in system of dark, swirling, thread-like filaments NGC 4696 is a member of
Earth provides fresh clues in hunt for life on other planets Observations of nitrogen in Earth’s atmosphere by a NASA spacecraft over 27 million kilometres (17 million miles) away are giving astronomers fresh clues to how that gas might reveal itself on faraway planets, thus aiding in the search for life Finding and measuring nitrogen in the atmosphere of
Astronomers watch the birth of a young planetary system Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute have used the ALMA telescopes to observe the early stages in the formation of a new solar system For the first time they have seen how a powerful whirlwind shoot out from the rotating disc of gas and dust surrounding the young star A new planetary system

Dark matter could have an electrical charge - All About Space A new proposal has been made describing the nature of the ever-so-elusive dark matter In this new research, astronomers suggest that some particles of dark matter, which constitutes the majority of all matter in the universe, contain an extremely tiny electrical charge that interacts with normal
