The discovery, made using ALMA, shows that water’s origins trace back to ancient interstellar clouds, linking molecular gas, comets, and planetary systems across billions of years.

A NASA study suggests that traces of ancient life could be locked in Martian ice. Lab tests freezing bacteria under Mars-like radiation revealed amino acids can persist for tens of millions of years. Researchers say pure ice offers protection, making Mars’ frozen regions ideal for searching preserved biomolecules.

Scientists have identified 11-million-year-old glass fragments in South Australia that record a massive asteroid impact never before known. Despite the event’s magnitude, the crater remains undiscovered, raising new questions about how often large asteroids have struck Earth and their role in shaping its surface.
