An excerpt from Inside Science In a new study, researchers investigated how well two different kinds of microbes grew in the lab in 100% hydrogen: the bacterium E. coli, which lacks a nucleus, and yeast, which possesses one. These microbes can survive and grow in 100% hydrogen atmospheres, suggesting life could potentially evolve on a much …

Astronomers have produced a remarkable new image of Jupiter, tracing the glowing regions of warmth that lurk beneath the gas giant’s cloud tops. Astronomers have captured the highest resolution images of Jupiter ever obtained from the ground using a technique known as “lucky imaging technique.” Using a technique called “lucky imaging technique”, scientists at the University of California …

On April 27, Pan-STARRS Observatory in Hawaii identified a previously unknown space rock that came remarkably close to Earth. The asteroid, now named 2020 HS7 had such a close shave that first-hour observation suggested a 10% chance of colliding with Earth. This sent planetary defense experts around the world busy studying the trajectory. But as …
