(Natural News) Two decades ago, NASA researchers presented a meteorite from Mars that reportedly displayed signs of microbial life. Now, their Hungarian counterparts have made a similar announcement with a different sample obtained from the same region in Antarctica. Assigned the dry designation of ALH-77005, the new meteorite displayed features and impressions that might have […]

(Natural News) There are rocky exoplanets around the size of Earth that lie within a few light-years of the solar system. While these relatively nearby worlds receive intense radiation from their active stars, they might eventually bear alien life – if they haven’t already done so. These planets lie well within the habitable zone of […]

(Natural News) A follow-up study to the recently announced discovery of methane on Mars popped the happy bubble of researchers regarding the possibility of alien life on the Red Planet. Conducted by a different team using far more capable sensors, the new inquiry found no trace of the organic gas in the atmosphere. In April […]

(Natural News) Many stars out in space are much smaller and colder than the sun. But these small celestial bodies may still unleash stellar flares that dwarf the mightiest solar flares known to man. Researchers have recently detected a white-light superflare from a star around the size of Jupiter. It is the coolest and smallest […]

(Natural News) The Earth serves as the galactic equivalent of a zoo, suggested European researchers at a recent conference on alien life. They believed that aliens have been keeping our planet under observation and quarantine to avoid causing panic among the human population who are not ready to make first contact with extraterrestrial beings. Many […]

(Natural News) A recent study by European researchers strengthened the case for seasonal spikes of methane in Mars. First discovered by NASA’s Curiosity rover in 2013, the latest methane spikes were confirmed by orbiting spacecraft. In 2019, Curiosity discovered that the methane levels in the Martian atmosphere changed from season to season. The gas hit its peak […]

(Natural News) Years ago, NASA’s Curiosity rover snapped a set of photos of the surface of Mars. A provocative new study interpreted those images as evidence that mushrooms were growing on the Martian soil. The researchers pointed out features in 15 images that resembled algae, lichens, and mushrooms on Earth. They added that the shapes […]

(Natural News) Millions of years ago, asteroids slammed into Mars, possibly delivering loads of the ingredients required for starting organic life on a planet. During the time of the cosmic event, the Red Planet may have possessed plenty of atmospheric hydrogen, which would have helped spur the development of simple organisms. Assuming Mars did have […]

(Natural News) Scientists reveal that Mars Express found geological evidence indicating the presence of interconnected lakes that once lay deep beneath the Martian surface. Some experts say that this discovery hints that the Red Planet once harbored life. The conditions in Mars billions of years ago were, in theory, very similar to Earth – meaning […]

(Natural News) Researchers have placed their best bets on finding an Earth-like planet on nearly 2,000 stars, meaning these exoplanets might not be as rare as people think. Some of these stars lay within just a few light-years of our solar system. NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has targeted the stellar candidates. The successor […]
