A recent study has revealed how iron sulfides may have influenced the emergence of life on early Earth by catalyzing the formation of prebiotic organic molecules in terrestrial hot springs. This research, conducted by an international team, suggests that these minerals played a pivotal role in converting gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) into essential organic compounds through nonenzymatic chemical

Not because it is easy but because it is hard: this historic space phrase is pretty much the definition of ESA’s double-satellite Proba-3 mission, which will employ precise formation flying to produce artificial total solar eclipses in orbit, casting a shadow from one spacecraft to the other. No-one has ever flown a mission like this, up until now. So how is it going to work? Find out in this second trailer video.
Launch now scheduled for Thursday 5 December
