NASA scrapped its $11 billion plan to return samples from Mars to Earth by 2040. It now has not one but two new options to choose from — both are faster and cheaper. The samples could return as soon as 2035 and may contain the first-ever signs of ancient alien life. The Perseverance rover is…

ORLANDO, Fla. — Rocket Lab is asking the incoming administration to reconsider NASA’s plans for Mars Sample Return (MSR), arguing it can offer an approach that is faster and less expensive than the agency’s alternatives. NASA announced Jan. 7 it would spend the next year and a half studying two new architectures for MSR. One…

Kaleigh Harrison A pioneering copper-based catalyst has been developed by a research consortium, achieving an impressive 92% efficiency in converting CO2 into acetaldehyde, marking a transformative moment in sustainable chemistry. This novel approach directly challenges the Wacker process, a traditional method used for over 60 years in… Continue Reading News Source: https://www.environmentenergyleader.com/stories/copper-catalyst-breakthrough-could-revolutionize-green-chemistry,61061

Here it is the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2024 UD26, going to have a relatively close, but obviously safe encounter with the Earth next 16 February, coming as close as 6.4 millions of km from us. Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2024 UD26: 21 Dec. 2024. The image above comes from the average of 2, 300-second exposures, remotely…

Mount Erebus, Antarctica, is the most southerly active volcano on Earth. Credit: Josh Landis/National Science Foundation, Public Domain When glaciers melt, they expose more than just ancient landscapes. Beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet lies a fiery secret—active volcanoes that may become more restless as the ice retreats. In a new study, researchers reveal how the……
