China Launches Tianwen-2 Probe for Asteroid Sample Return
China launched the Tianwen-2 probe on Thursday to collect samples from asteroid 2016HO3 and comet 311P, aiming to return them to Earth in about two years for scientific study and furthering China's interplanetary exploration program.

Earth's Core Leaks Gold: Study Reveals Deep-Earth Processes
A German study published in Nature reveals that over 99% of Earth's gold is locked in its core, with some slowly escaping to the surface via volcanic magma, a discovery made by detecting high concentrations of ruthenium-100 in Hawaiian volcanic rocks.

Ancient Meteorite Suggests Earth Was Inherently Hydrated
Analysis of a 4.6-billion-year-old enstatite chondrite meteorite reveals intrinsic hydrogen, suggesting Earth was inherently hydrated, challenging the theory that water arrived via asteroid impacts.

Saturn Confirmed as Solar System's 'Moon King' with 274 Moons
A team of Canadian and Taiwanese researchers confirmed Saturn has 274 moons, surpassing Jupiter's 95, after discovering 128 new moons using the Canada France Hawaii Telescope; the small moons are likely remnants of recent collisions.

Sahara Meteorites May Be First Fragments of Mercury Found on Earth
Two meteorites found in the Sahara Desert in 2023 are suspected to originate from Mercury, based on compositional similarities with data from the MESSENGER probe, despite a discrepancy in their ages. Confirmation would mark the first identified fragments of Mercury on Earth.

Passing Star Poses 0.2% Risk of Earth Ejection in Next 5 Billion Years
A new study predicts a 0.2% chance that Earth could be ejected from its orbit by a passing star within the next five billion years, resulting in a global freeze and extinction; the study used simulations to assess solar system stability, considering passing stars.

Earth's Core: Source of Gold Migration to Surface Confirmed
A new study confirms Earth's core holds over 99% of the planet's gold, with some gradually migrating to the surface via mantle plumes, as evidenced by the discovery of core-specific ruthenium isotopes in Hawaiian volcanic rocks.

Early Earth's Hydrogen Content Challenges Theories on Water's Origin
Analysis of a 4.6-billion-year-old enstatite chondrite meteorite reveals Earth initially contained far more hydrogen than previously thought, suggesting water formation was inherent to Earth's creation and challenging the theory that water arrived via asteroid impacts.

Curiosity Rover Finds Most Promising Evidence Yet for Past Life on Mars
NASA's Curiosity rover found long-chain alkanes in a 3.7-billion-year-old Martian rock, the most compelling evidence yet for past life on Mars, but definitive proof requires a sample-return mission for advanced isotopic analysis.

Evidence of Ancient Martian Ocean Found by Zhurong Rover
Analysis of radar data from China's Zhurong rover reveals sandy deposits on Mars, angled similarly to Earth's coastal formations, suggesting the presence of a large ocean approximately four billion years ago and enhancing the possibility of past life on the planet.
