- The European Space Agency has launched a spacecraft to search for signs that Jupiter's moons could support life in the oceans beneath their frozen surfaces. If they can, what would organisms look like? Recent discoveries have led astrobiologists to think that moons are the most promising places for alien life to exist in our Solar System. And now several major space missions are being planned over the next decade to search for hints of life there. Unlike our neighbouring planets, some of the moons have plenty of liquid water. Jupiter's moon, Europa, for example, is thought to contain more ... [Read More]

The galaxy, designated REBELS-25, is seen as it was just 700 million years after the Big Bang , at a time when astronomers expect galaxies to have been small and messy. Living up to its name, this rebellious galaxy has defied that trend by appearing ... [Read More]
