Bacterial bio-repair method strengthens lunar construction bricks
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Apr 02, 2025
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have devised an innovative method to repair bricks made from lunar soil using bacteria, a technique that could prove essential for maintaining structures built in the moon's extreme environment.

Four Small Worlds Discovered Orbiting Nearby Star
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 02, 2025
A quartet of diminutive planets has been confirmed in orbit around Barnard's Star, a nearby red dwarf long known for stirring debate over questionable planet sightings. Thanks to cutting-edge observational tools, scientists now say the new detection is solid. The discovery marks a milestone in tracking down small exoplanets across vast interstellar distances.

A step closer to Martian survival as lichens endure harsh red planet conditions
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Apr 02, 2025
For the first time, scientists have confirmed that certain species of lichen can remain metabolically active while exposed to simulated Martian conditions, including levels of ionizing radiation equivalent to those expected during intense solar activity on Mars.
The findings, published in the open-access journal IMA Fungus, point to the extraordinary resilience of lichens and their potenti

Key Component for NASAs NEO Surveyor Returns to JPL
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 02, 2025
NASA's Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor mission is on track for a planned launch in late 2027, with a major milestone recently achieved. A critical part of the spacecraft-its instrument enclosure-returned to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California in early March after completing rigorous environmental testing at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

IRIDE satellite captures first high resolution image over Italy
Paris, France (SPX) Mar 30, 2025
The initial image from Italy's IRIDE Earth observation mission was unveiled today, depicting a high-detail strip of the Italian peninsula, including Rome, at a resolution of 2.66 meters. This marks a threefold improvement over previous standard satellite data available for the region.
Captured by the Pathfinder Hawk microsatellite on March 5, 2025, the image was taken during a pass over ce
