(Natural News) The Year 2022 has yielded several amazing archeological discoveries. Here are some them: Portraits of two Egyptian mummies The portraits of two mummies were discovered by Egyptian archeologists at the Gerza excavation site in Fayoum, Egypt in early December. (Related: Unlocking the secrets of Ancient Egypt: Archaeologists uncover dozens of mummified animals in the Tomb of Tutu.) Known […]

(Natural News) The extreme temperatures on planet Venus are not suitable for supporting life. But a new study found that sunlight on Venus’s clouds could enable microorganisms to thrive by means of photosynthesis. Researchers at California State Polytechnic University Pomona report this in a Sept. 27 study published in Astrobiology. They note that photosynthesis occurs all day on Venus […]

(Natural News) If Venusian life does exist, it may have originated from Earth: An interplanetary hopper hitched a ride with an asteroid that grazed Earth’s upper atmosphere and landed on Venus. Researchers from Harvard University — astronomy professor Avi Loeb and student Amir Siraj — proposed the idea after a group of scientists recently detected signatures of phosphine. Microorganisms […]

(Natural News) An international team of researchers found evidence of a gas on Venus that could indicate the planet may harbor life. The gas in question is phosphine, a colorless chemical compound that smells like garlic or decaying fish. It is commonly produced by microorganisms on Earth in the absence of oxygen or by the breakdown of organic matter. […]

(Natural News) Venus may have once harbored oceans two to three billion years ago, suggests a study presented at the Joint Meeting of the European Planetary Science Congress and the American Astronomical Society’s Division for Planetary Sciences. Researchers from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Goddard Institute for Space Studies ran five simulations of the planet’s […]

(Natural News) In school, students are taught that the closest planet to Earth is Venus. However, at a commentary published in Physics Today, experts say that Mercury is actually closest to Earth. Not only that, but Mercury is also closest to other planets in the solar system. The planet closest to Earth most of the […]

(Natural News) Who in their right mind would want to go to Venus? NASA, apparently, as an article in Live Science reported how the space agency plans to send astronauts to the planet once considered the first stop for space travelers in classic science fiction stories. Venus makes the airless moon or chilly Mars look hospitable for human […]

(Natural News) The cloudy planet dubbed the “Morning Star” and “Evening Star” could be harboring alien life. A NASA-backed international study surmises that there could be simple but sturdy bacteria floating in the uppermost clouds of Venus, reported The Sun. Study author Sanjay Limaye of the University of Wisconsin-Madison says that computer models of Venus suggest it used to […]

(Natural News) Temperature fluctuates, the weather shifts, and the climate never stays the same. It doesn’t matter where you live; it has always been this way on planet Earth. Through the course of many centuries, humans, animals, plants, and microbes have exhibited extraordinary resilience in the face of change and are all constantly adapting to this […]
