The mission to retrieve a Mars sample is running into turbulence.

@theverge reports: "NASA’s Mars Sample Return mission is already running over budget and behind schedule. But it may also be our best chance of finding extraterrestrial life."

Well, you know, this makes me dream.

"Boyajian's star is our galaxy’s strangest: a flickering globe of light whose sporadic and unpredictable output baffled astronomers for years.
The study of Boyajian’s star is being promoted as a research model that could help in one of the most intriguing of all scientific quests: finding intelligent life on other worlds."

Habe gerade eine Studie erfunden, die das Problem der Nahrungsmittelversorgung bei einer des Mondes oder des Mars lösen könnte:

Stein-basierte .

Klingt vielversprechend.

Die könnte auf der interessant werden, wenn der weiter fortschreitet. Auch wenn das Sprichwort lautet, dass Du nicht essen kannst, vielleicht klappte es mit Steinen.

The #Einstein Probe lifted off 🚀 atop a #LongMarch2C rocket from southwestern #China’s 🇨🇳 Xichang* Satellite Launch Centre at 📆 3.05pm on Tuesday. The Einstein Probe is led by researchers of the #Chinese Academy of Sciences and has major instrument contributions from the #ESA and the #MaxPlanck Institute for #Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany 🇩🇪. It can observe an area of sky more than 10,000 full moons’ size at any given time. In contrast, existing large X-ray telescopes, such as #Nasa’s Chandra #Xray Observatory, can only image a section of sky smaller than one full moon at a time. It means the Einstein Probe could observe almost the entire night sky 🌌 in just three #orbits around #Earth, or under five hours ⏱️. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3247782/einstein-probe-china-launches-powerful-space-x-ray-observatory-understand-flashes-night-sky

NASA Is Locating Ice On Mars With This New Map

https://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/planets/mars/nasa-is-locating-ice-on-mars-with-this-new-map/ <-- shared technical article

https://doi.org/10.1038/s41550-020-01290-z <-- shared paper

https://ammos.nasa.gov/marswatermaps/?mission=MWR <-- web mapping

“The map could help the agency decide where the first astronauts to the Red Planet should land. The more available water, the less missions will need to bring.
Buried ice will be a vital resource for the first people to set foot on Mars, serving as drinking water and a key ingredient for rocket fuel. But it would also be a major scientific target: Astronauts or robots could one day drill ice cores much as scientists do on Earth, uncovering the climate history of Mars and exploring potential habitats (past or present) for microbial life.…”

Why was the Search for Intelligence () 👽 unsuccessful so far ?

🦠 appeared pretty much as soon as it could, right when the formed and our stopped being a molten 🌋 hellscape. That might have been as early as 3.7 billion years ago. But life appeared basically yesterday—what we identify as anatomically modern humans arose about 120,000 years ago. https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/05/were-essentially-alone-in-the-universe-and-thats-ok
