• If life exists in Venus's atmosphere, it could have come from Earth
  2026-04-07
  The theory of panspermia holds that life is spread through the cosmos via asteroids, comets, and other objects. When the building blocks of life emerge on one planet, impacts can eject surface material into space, which then carries these seeds to other worlds. For decades, scientists have debated whether this ...
• 'Serendipitous' discovery of Martian ripple marks reveals an ancient sandstorm
  2026-04-02

  Asteroid impacts may have helped kick-start life on Earth by creating hot, chemical-rich environments ideal for early biology. These impact-generated hydrothermal systems could have lasted thousands of years—long enough for life’s building blocks to form. Scientists now think these environments may have been common on early Earth, making them a ...
