An ethereal dance of misty clouds of interstellar dust with a myriad of distant stars and galaxies speckled like paint drops over a black canvas. This is a sonification of a breathtaking image taken by ESA's Euclid space telescope of the young star-forming region Messier 78.
The sonification offers a different representation of the data collected by Euclid, and lets us explore the stellar nurseries in M78 through sound. Close your eyes and listen to let the cosmic image be drawn by your mind’s eye, or watch as the traceback line in this video follows the sounds to colour
Anthropologists urge preservation of human artifacts on Mars
Thursday, 19 December 2024 07:16 Write a comment
Are the spacecraft, rovers, and debris from human exploration of Mars merely trash cluttering the Red Planet, or are they invaluable artifacts chronicling humanity's steps into interplanetary exploration? University of Kansas anthropologist Justin Holcomb contends these items deserve preservation and cataloging to document this significant phase of human history.
Holcomb's new study, title NASA outlines long-term goals for human presence in low earth orbit

NASA has finalized its comprehensive strategy for sustaining human presence in low Earth orbit (LEO), outlining a clear path to advance microgravity research, technology, and exploration for global benefit. The Low Earth Orbit Microgravity Strategy, developed with input from industry, academia, and international partners, marks a critical step as the agency prepares for the transition from the I New study questions the potential for liquid brines on Mars

More than a century after astronomer Percival Lowell speculated about water canals on Mars, researchers continue to grapple with the question of liquid water on the red planet. Liquid water is essential for habitability, but Mars' low temperatures, minimal atmospheric pressure, and limited water vapor make its presence unlikely under current conditions.
