• How do we know what asteroids are made out of?
  2026-03-10
  Asteroids are some of the oldest objects in the solar system: leftovers from the chaotic time when planets were assembling from dust and rock. They're time capsules, preserving clues about what the early solar system was like, and, ultimately, what the building blocks of planets are.
• Can we grow life on Mars? Experiments show potential in simulated extraterrestrial soil
  2026-03-07
  Life's capacity to survive in simulated lunar and Martian soils has been explored in two papers published in Scientific Reports.

• NASA’s DART asteroid smash shows we could deflect a future threat
  2026-03-10
  When NASA’s DART spacecraft deliberately crashed into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos, it did more than change the asteroid’s local orbit — it slightly shifted the path of the entire asteroid pair around the Sun. The impact blasted debris into space, doubling the force of the spacecraft’s hit and nudging the ...
