Ancient water on Mars suggests potential for past life
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Nov 25, 2024
New research led by Curtin University has identified what may be the earliest direct evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars, highlighting the planet's potential habitability in its distant past.
The study examined a 4.45 billion-year-old zircon grain from the Martian meteorite NWA7034, commonly referred to as "Black Beauty." Researchers found geochemical signatures indicating the p

Large fire at Japan rocket test site, no injuries reported
Tokyo (AFP) Nov 26, 2024
A huge fire erupted Tuesday at a Japanese rocket testing station, sending flames and smoke soaring into the sky, in the latest mishap for the country's ambitious space programme.
There were no reports of any injuries in the incident, in a remote area of Kagoshima in southern Japan, where a solid-fuel Epsilon S rocket was being tested.
