Venus has likely signs of life, claims research paper. Details here

Venus planet is likely to have possible signs of life, New York Post reported quoting a new research. Venus was always perceived as uninhabitable planet due to its proximity with Sun. It's second planet from the Sun. The skies above Venus reportedly contain caustic sulfuric acid.

Venus' gaseous clouds have elements that are linked to life. Research papers were submitted at the Royal Astronomical Society.

NASA's DART mission – Double Asteroid Redirection Test – was humanity's first real-world planetary defence mission. In September 2022, the DART spacecraft smashed into the companion "moon" of a small asteroid 11 million kilometres from Earth. One goal was to find out if we can give such things a shove if one were headed our way.


By gathering lots of data on approach and after the impact, we would also get a better idea of what we'd be in for if such an asteroid were to hit Earth.

Five new studies published in Nature Communications today have used the images sent back from DART and its travel buddy LICIACube to unravel the origins of the Didymos-Dimorphos dual asteroid system. They've also put that data in context for other asteroids out there.

Asteroids are natural hazards.
