-(Natural News) Humans are innately arrogant. Our intellectual superiority over the other animals on our planet has left many of us with the conviction that we are the most intelligent beings in the universe. However, this type of thinking is dangerous because it leaves us exposed and unprepared, as noted by Scientific American. If we […]

-(Natural News) A German researcher did not believe it was possible to justify the environmental protection of planets outside our solar system on the grounds of potential use by humankind in the future. He also believed it was irrelevant to regulate the environments of exoplanets that can support life if the same worlds happened to be lifeless in […]

-(Natural News) The organic compound glycolonitrile was recently spotted within the stellar material surrounding a well-documented young star. Its presence in the early history of the star could help researchers determine just how it and other similar organic molecules ended up on Earth, thereby leading to the development of life as we know it. Glycolonitrile […]

-(Natural News) Researchers who are seeking out signs of alien life can now compare their findings with the results of earlier studies thanks to an online tool developed by the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute. The newly released research tool will allow people from around the world to contribute their evidence that we are not alone in […]

-(Natural News) NASA researchers may have found a sweet surprise in outer space. Apparently, the inhospitable environs of space can produce sugar molecules. Better yet, this sugar is not any of the common ones found in foods; instead, it is the complex molecule found in the DNA of living organisms. In a recent experiment, the researchers replicated the conditions found in outer […]

-(Natural News) The “blueberries” of Mars are not the least bit organic, much less edible. But the small, ferrous spheres strewn across the surface of Mars could tell us about the Red Planet during the time when liquid water flowed across its young face. First discovered by NASA’s Opportunity rover in 2004, the hematite-rich geologic features […]

-(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) Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, is a popular target for space probes and theories that are hoping to find extraterrestrial life on other worlds. However, an article in The Independent reported that the way to its frozen surface – and the liquid sea hidden beneath that shell – might be blocked by giant shards of ice. If […]

-(Natural News) The surface of Mars might be barren today, but conditions underground could have been hospitable for alien life in the distant past. Researchers are now theorizing that there was enough hydrogen dissolved in the ground that could have sustained certain types of microbes. This finding is based on similar subterranean conditions on Earth. […]

-(Natural News) A new study says chances are good that the Jovian moon Europa is hosting some form of alien lifeform. What’s more, a lander would not have to drill too deep into the icy moon before it comes across solid evidence of extraterrestrial life, an article in Scientific American reported. With a diameter of […]
