Asteroid Ryugu Also Contains Life’s Building Blocks
Samples returned from Ryugu contain all five nucleobases, just like from asteroid Bennu. The find suggests life’s ingredients could have come from outside Earth.
Space Exploration Milestones: A Brief History
Space exploration represents one of humanity's greatest achievements, pushing the boundaries of science, engineering, and human endurance. This document outlines some of the most significant milestones in the history of space exploration.
Where are all the aliens? Maybe they just don't want to talk to us
A civilization capable of interstellar travel may also be one that has moved beyond conquest, excess and ecological self-destruction — and it therefore may not want to talk to us.
Ryugu asteroid sample contains all five key components of DNA, scientists find
A sample collected by the Hayabusa 2 spacecraft from the spinning top-like asteroid contained the nucleobases adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil.

New Study Complicates the Search for Alien Oxygen
Oxygen has been the most important gas in our search for life among the cosmos thus far. On Earth, we have it in abundance because it is produced by biological synthesis. But that might not be the case on other planets, so even if we do find a very clear high oxygen signal in the atmosphere of an exoplanet, it might not be a clear indication that life exists there. A new paper, available in pre-print on arXiv, from Margaret Turcotte Seavey and a team of researchers from institutions like the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Johns Hopkins University, adds some additional context to what else might be going on in those atmospheres. In particular, they note that if there’s even a little bit of water vapor, it can make a big difference in whether a lifeless rock looks like a living, thriving world.

The Coming Age of Space Stations
The International Space Station (ISS), which has been continuously occupied for 26 years, is approaching retirement. By 2030, all participating space agencies will bring their astronauts home for the last time, and the station will be maneuvered so it burns up in Earth's atmosphere. The legacy of this station is unmatched, and its successors (of which several are planned) will have extremely big shoes to fill. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of space programs and commercial interests looking to place new space stations in orbit.
