(Natural News) Scientists from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are investigating alien oceans in three moons in the outer solar system in search of the origin of life on Earth. The moons in question – Jupiter’s Europa, Saturn’s Enceladus and Neptune’s Triton – are different from the rest of the more than 200 moons in the solar […]

(Natural News) Long spaceflight missions, such as future manned missions to Mars, can result in astronaut “deconditioning,” or a loss in bone density and a decrease of muscle mass. However, many of these negative effects can be alleviated with the help of a key ingredient in red wine: resveratrol. With today’s technology, astronauts will be […]

(Natural News) Astronauts make a lot of sacrifices in their line of work. The longer they stay in space, the more severely their health suffers. Latest research warns that long-term stays in space could drastically weaken the immune systems of astronauts, making them much more vulnerable to the onset and effects of deadly diseases like […]

(Natural News) It is almost always much cheaper and easier to make something using locally-available construction materials. That is why European researchers are testing the use of the space dust covering the surface of the Moon to build long-term structures on our planet’s satellite, an article in New Atlas reported. They came to this conclusion […]

(Natural News) Did you know that Saturn “croons” to one of its many moons? And that the moon in question, Enceladus, “sings” back? Now you can listen to their cosmic duet thanks to a recently-released conversion of the plasma oscillations between them, an article in Live Science reported. By September 2017, the Cassini space probe […]

(Natural News) Future space probes and manned spacecraft will be able to navigate deep space with ease once NASA perfects its galactic positioning system. This planned interstellar GPS will use highly reliable millisecond pulsars as navigation beacons and ensure astronauts always know the way, according to an article on LiveScience. If outer space is like […]

(Natural News) Even during the calmest and sunniest day, Earth is caught in the middle of the ceaseless solar wind from the sun. If it weren’t for our world’s atmosphere and electromagnetic field, that cosmic storm would be ravaging the face of the planet, an article in Alpha Galileo stated. The sun is constantly putting […]

(Natural News) Now that NASA has finished testing its new nuclear reactor on the ground, it is aiming its sights a lot higher. The space agency is considering fitting the Kilopower system onto a moon-bound lander for its first flight test in the middle of the 2020s, an article in Space News states. In a recent press conference, […]

(Natural News) Do sperm squirm the same way in space? That’s an interesting question that’s posed by the leading scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which aims to learn exactly how sperm will function when placed out in space. To conduct this highly serious research work, NASA’s scientists have gone back to […]

(Natural News) The resumption of domestic production of plutonium-238 has led NASA to reconsider the use of nuclear power sources in its future planetary science missions, according to an article from Space.com. Back in December 2017, NASA needed to conserve its dwindling stockpile of nuclear fuel for the Mars 2020 rover and other, more critical missions. […]
