Could Mars support life? The surface of the red planet could be compatible with some life forms

On Earth, the most dangerous ultraviolet radiation for living organisms - UV - is blocked by the ozone layer. However, on Mars, the thin atmosphere, almost devoid of ozone, allows this type of radiation to reach the surface virtually unimpeded, with a powerful sterilizing effect. Nevertheless, a new study suggests that these conditions may not be entirely incompatible with certain forms of life.The research, led by the Centro de Astrobiologia (CAB, INTA-CSIC) with the collaboration of the Instituto de Quimica Fisica Blas Cabrera (IQF-CSIC), shows that the UV radiation doses measured on Mars are comparable to those that probably existed on early Earth. This implies that, although extreme, they do not completely rule out the possibility of life.Stunning new images from Mars captured by Rover Curiosity leave scientists in awePublished in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences […]

NASA’s surprise after a spacecraft on a space mission captured a stunning photograph of an asteroid

The constant monitoring of space and everything that happens beyond the Earth's atmosphere has been going on for years. Humans are looking for answers and trying to control the possible threats that may loom over the planet in the coming decades. Now, NASA has just announced that a spacecraft has captured a surprising image of an asteroid that could disrupt all the plans in place.On April 20, the Lucy spacecraft encountered a photograph of the asteroid Donald Johanson, which indicates that it is a binary. This means that the object would be the consequence of a merger of two smaller asteroids that, after a collision, would have joined their structures, resulting in its spectacular shape.NASA astronauts breathe fresh air for the first time in nine months after extended missionLucy and its mission on the origins of the solar systemSince it […]

Stir in Costa Rica: Analysis confirms that the wooden ships shipwrecked did not belong to pirates

History never ceases to surprise us with recent discoveries, as has happened in Costa Rica, as several scientific analyses have confirmed that the wooden ships shipwrecked off its coast did not really belong to pirates.On the shores of Cahuita National Park, on the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, several groups of marine archaeologists have identified the remains of two shipwrecks that belonged to two missing Danish slave ships: the Fridericus Quartus and the Christianus Quintos. Dramatic Video: Florida officers catch runaway boat with no driverExperts, local residents and fishermen believed that these belonged to pirates, but everything has changed.Everything changed in 2015, when this team of American analysts found yellow bricks typical of factories in Flensburg, Germany, which supplied Denmark and its colonies.

Experts confirm it: having lots of plants at home is a clear symptom according to psychologists

Plants are decorative elements that are part of our lives and environment. Many people see in these natural elements the ideal green touch to give to their home. In addition, it is very healthy to surround yourself with plants and natural elements for physical and mental well-being.

The importance of whale urine for the planet: a thousand litres a day

A study published in the journal Nature has revealed the importance of whales to the Earth. Specifically, their urine. The approximately 1,000 liters per day generated by these cetaceans are key to the balance of ecosystems. The reason is the enormous amount of nutrients they transport in the oceans, something that becomes even more relevant due to their migratory behavior. The report highlights in particular the amount of nitrogen they transport, which it puts at 3,784 tons per year. "This figure could have been three times higher before commercial whaling," the researchers explain.The study insists on the importance of these large cetaceans transporting huge quantities of nutrients and other key elements from high to low latitudes. "They have the potential to transport elements in their bodies from highly productive feeding areas (...) through urination, defecation and lactation," says the study, […]

Elon Musk talks about how much time Earth has left and the reason he would change biology forever: “It will be incinerated”

Elon Musk often talks, because he likes to, about planet Earth and how much time it has left. The billionaire is obsessed with his travels to Mars. It's a challenge for him. In an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters, he was asked why he is so obsessed with the Red Planet. "That's one of the benefits of Mars: it's a life insurance policy for collective life. So eventually all life on Earth will be destroyed by the Sun. The Sun is gradually expanding, so at some point we will need to be a multiplanetary civilization, because the Earth will be incinerated".The billionaire currently heads the Trump administration's Office of Government Efficiency."If, as the fossil record suggests, the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old, we have 10% of that time left before the temperature gets so hot that […]

The largest sea creature on the planet emerges off the coast: “It was a unique experience”
