Bizarre Space Experiment Reveals What Bach Sounds Like When Played on Venus and Mars

As we seek to get a deeper understanding of the known objects in the Solar System, under-utilized senses may become a critical asset.Take sound, for instance.Sound can be an approach to model data.It can portray the motion of hot gas as it responds to lighting on Saturn.In one technique called sonification, information from space telescopes can be put to musical sounds.

A new lightweight instrument could directly find life on Europa or Mars

When you're searching for signs of alien life, you'd really like definitive answers.But so far most of humanity's forays into the Solar System seeking signs of life have returned only ambiguity.Take NASA's Viking 1 lander for instance.The agency designed its suite of experiments to find any signs of life, or biosignatures, on the Martian surface, returned a mix of positive and negative results that summed to an indeterminate answer - scientists found no signs of life, but insufficient evidence to say there were no signs to be found.

NASA: Mars rocks won't make back to Earth until 2033

Martian rock samples collected by NASA's Perseverance rover won't arrive on Earth until 2033 - as they'll need an orbiter and lander sent out toward the end of the decade to fetch them, the US space agency said Wednesday.

Scientists figured out how to solve an ancient Martian mystery - with rocks found on Earth

Figuring out what's left of Mars' water on the drier than bone-dry planet isn't easy - much is trapped below the surface.But a paper published this week by an international team in Science Advances proposes a new way to estimate it that sidesteps the issue completely: instead of measuring water that's found on Mars, it focuses on measuring chromium in Martian rocks that have made it to Earth.
