| Earth expected to be habitable for another 1.75 billion years Posted: 18 Sep 2013 06:14 PM PDT Habitable conditions on Earth will be possible for at least another 1.75 billion years – according to astrobiologists. "If we ever needed to move to another planet, Mars is probably our best bet. It's very close and will remain in the habitable zone until the end of the Sun's lifetime -- six billion years from now," one of the researchers said. |
| Jupiter's moon: Long-stressed Europa likely off-kilter at one time Posted: 18 Sep 2013 03:11 PM PDT By analyzing the distinctive cracks lining the icy face of Europa, scientists found evidence that this moon of Jupiter likely spun around a tilted axis at some point. |
| Young stars cooking in the Prawn Nebula Posted: 18 Sep 2013 06:05 AM PDT The glowing jumble of gas clouds visible in a new image make up a huge stellar nursery nicknamed the Prawn Nebula. Taken using the VLT Survey Telescope at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile, this may well be the sharpest picture ever taken of this object. It shows clumps of hot new-born stars nestled in among the clouds that make up the nebula. |
