Greenland's Rapid Ice Melt: A Two-Degree Celsius Warning
A NASA-funded Greenland survey reveals a two-degree Celsius rise in subglacial ocean water temperatures over the last decade, causing rapid ice melt and glacier retreat, and informing future exploration techniques for icy moons.

Sulfur Dioxide: A Negative Biosignature for Exoplanet Habitability
Scientists propose using the detection of sulfur dioxide in exoplanet atmospheres as a negative marker for liquid water and life, streamlining the search for habitable planets, particularly around M-dwarf stars; this method helps define the inner edge of habitable zones by focusing on the absence of...

Precursors to Life Found Near Young Planet
Astronomers using the ALMA telescope discovered ethylene glycol and glycolonitrile—precursors to RNA and DNA—along with water in the dust surrounding a young planet forming near the star V883 Orionis, 1300 light-years from Earth, suggesting the building blocks of life are widespread in the universe.

Geoastronomy: A New Approach to Exoplanet Biosignature Detection
Astrophysicist Kevin Heng advocates for Geoastronomy, a new field merging geology and astronomy to identify geological false positives in sub-Neptune exoplanets' atmospheres before searching for biosignatures, emphasizing the need to understand abiotic chemical generation to avoid misinterpreting th...

Mars' UV Radiation Levels Comparable to Early Earth's
A new study, published in PNAS, reveals that Mars' UV radiation, measured by the Curiosity rover, is comparable to early Earth's levels, consisting of 80% UV-A, 15% UV-B, and 5% UV-C, with daily variations exceeding 30%, raising concerns about planetary protection in future missions.
