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
