Science & Exploration 01/10/2025 1725 views 23 likes Scientists digging through data collected by the Cassini spacecraft have found new complex organic molecules spewing from Saturn’s moon Enceladus. This is a clear sign that complex chemical reactions are taking place within its underground ocean. Some of these reactions could be part of chains that lead to even more complex, potentially …

A fresh look at data collected by NASA’s Cassini probe nearly two decades ago has revealed new, complex organic molecules on Saturn‘s icy moon Enceladus – pointing to tantalizing chemistry taking place deep beneath its hidden ocean. In plumes of water ice spewing from cracks in Enceladus’s shell, a team led by astrobiologist Nozair Khawaja from the University of Stuttgart …

Five unoccupied houses along North Carolina’s Outer Banks collapsed into the ocean on Tuesday as Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda rumbled in the Atlantic, the National Park Service said, marking the latest private beachfront structures to fall into the surf there in recent years.  The homes, once propped on high stilts, collapsed in the afternoon in Buxton, a community on one …

IN A NUTSHELL 🛰️ Scientists have discovered a turquoise patch in the Antarctic Ocean, visible in satellite images. 🔬 The patch is home to coccolithophores, tiny marine organisms previously thought unable to survive in cold waters. 🌊 Research reveals a dynamic interaction between coccolithophores and diatoms, impacting the ocean’s carbon cycle. 🌍 Findings suggest new potential for plankton in combating …

About 300 miles (480 kilometers) southeast of Tokyo, a crewed submersible peered at a ledge of volcanic rock and spotted something unusual. A limpet with a thin, bluish shell sat on the rock at a depth of about 19,430 feet (6 kilometers). The single encounter with this mollusk has now expanded a whole branch of the tree of life, adding …

Fisker MotorTrend hasn’t always had the best luck with its long-term press cars. I mean, it wasn’t that long ago that their long-term Durango got stolen. But the story of MT‘s missing Fisker Ocean is just bizarre. Then again, is there anything about the Fisker Ocean that isn’t bizarre? We’re talking about …

The European Space Agency (ESA) is setting the long-term goal of sending a spacecraft to Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus to answer key science questions and drive the development of new technologies. Enceladus is one of the most intriguing moons in the solar system due to the discovery by NASA’s Cassini probe of plumes of water ice erupting from the moon’s …

Earth wouldn’t be the lively place it is without photosynthesis, which harnesses solar energy to fuel most of the planet’s food webs. A variety of plants, algae, and cyanobacteria provide this service, but few do it quite like Prochlorococcus, considered to be Earth’s most abundant photosynthetic organism. Tiny even for cyanobacteria, this marine microbe wields outsized influence in its habitats …

Twelve years ago, a volcanic eruption almost totally wiped out life on an island in the Pacific. Now, in the wake of the devastation, scientists are using genetic analysis to see how flora managed to bounce back on the scarred island.  The rest of this article is behind a paywall.
