December 17, 2020 A new study from researchers at Rutgers University suggests that the best place to look for evidence of life on Mars is deep underground, where geothermal heat melted subsurface ice. Cutaway illustration depicting subsurface lakes on Mars. Research suggests these underground lakes, or aquifers – formed by melting ice deep below the surface – would have been the best places for life to exist on a planet as cold as Mars. They might also help explain conflicting scenarios of ...

Dr. Olivier Witasse [European Space Agency (ESA)] JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) is the first large mission in the ESA Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 programme. The mission was selected in May 2012. Due to the launch planned for June 2022 in order to reach Jupiter in October 2029, it will spend at least three and a half years making detailed observations of Jupiter and three of its largest moons, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa. The focus of the mission is to characterise the conditions that might...

New Technology Can Get Oxygen, Fuel From Mars Salty Water Press Release - Source: Washington University St Louis Posted This illustration shows Jezero Crater — the landing site of the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover — as it may have looked billions of years ago on Mars, when it was a lake. At Washington University in St. Louis, Vijay Ramanis lab has developed a way to extract hydrogen and oxygen out of the briny water that may remain under the Martian surface. (Image: NASA/JPL-Ca...
