Scientists have detected organic compounds and minerals necessary for life in the samples collected by the OSIRIS-REx mission ...

The study of early Earth microbial life and organic matter is crucial for understanding the origins of life on our planet and potentially on other celestial bodies. Recent research has focused on ...

Rock and dust samples retrieved by NASA from the asteroid Bennu exhibit some of the chemical building blocks of life, ...

Early V-2 Photos of Earth V-2 rockets launched from White Sands, New Mexico in the 1940s and returned the first photos of Earth from space. The rockets were launched on a suborbital trajectory.

What's interesting is that most of the computer simulations for this collision generate a moon that is much closer to the Earth than we'd expect. Early Earth didn't have vast oceans, so there were ...

This makes it difficult for researchers to find out what happened during Earth's early history, as most of the evidence was destroyed eons ago. However, scientists have discovered ancient rocks ...

Scientists found that asteroid Bennu contained a set of salty mineral deposits that formed in an exact sequence when a brine evaporated, leaving clues about the type of water that flowed billions of ...

The prevailing theory had been that the moon was the result of a collision between early Earth and the protoplanet Theia. New measurements indicate that the moon formed from material ejected from ...
