USF research delves into volcanic caves for Mars life insights
An international research team, led by Bogdan P. Onac from the USF School of Geosciences, has conducted an in-depth study of volcanic caves called lava tubes. This investigation sheds light on how such structures may offer valuable insights for detecting life on Mars. The team, including experts from Portugal, Spain, and Italy, focused on six lava tubes on Lanzarote, a Spanish island near
AnalySwift aims to transform spacecraft for secondary uses during extended missions
AnalySwift LLC, a Purdue University-affiliated company, has received a Phase I STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer) contract from NASA worth $156,424. Allan Wood, AnalySwift president and CEO, said the contract will fund two advancements: processes and hardware to disassemble spacecraft components and reassemble them for a secondary use, and software for multiphysics simulation and an
Young transiting planet reshapes theories of planetary formation
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have uncovered a striking discovery: a planet named TIDYE-1b, just 3 million years old - the planetary equivalent of a two-week-old baby. This unprecedented find challenges existing models of planet formation, which suggest that planets take much longer to form. Unlike Earth, which took 10 to 20 million years to develop, TIDYE-1b emerged in

Fly around Ares Vallis on Mars
Explore the immense power of water as ESA’s Mars Express takes us on a flight over curving channels, streamlined islands and muddled ‘chaotic terrain’ on Mars, soaking up rover landing sites along the way.
This beautiful flight around the Oxia Palus region of Mars covers a total area of approximately 890 000 km², more than twice the size of Germany. Central to the tour is one of Mars’s largest outflow channels, Ares Vallis. It stretches for more than 1700 km and cascades down from the planet’s southern highlands to enter the lower-lying plains of Chryse Planitia.
