Astronaut Scott Kelly tweeted from the International Space State on Dec. 27, 2015, “Our plants aren’t looking too good.” The station’s garden was struggling to recover from a mold problem. This issue is familiar to terrestrial gardens. On Earth, the issue simply requires a trip to the nursery for replacement plants, however, this is not […]
Human-Made Earthquakes Caused by Injection Wells Over the past few years, the amount of earthquake activity has increased dramatically, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). There have been 450 earthquakes with a magnitude-3.0 and over between 2010 and 2013. That is more than an average of 100 per year. From 1970 to 2000, […]
Curiosity, the NASA Mars rover, has collected data that adds to the body of growing evidence that supports the idea that microscopic organisms may have once inhabited the red planet. It is possible that microbial life might still live on the planet. A pair of papers were published on Thursday, June 7, 2018, in the […]
A team of British researchers were conducting a marine survey when they came upon an erupting underwater volcano, which are notoriously difficult to study. In collaboration with the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre, scientists from several universities in the U.K. were aboard the R.R.S. James Cook research ship. They were retrieving ocean-bottom […]

The firey blooms grow in the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve in Coos Bay. It is the only known location where the flowers grow. Scientists are working to […]
Astronauts can now perform microbial DNA sampling on the International Space Station. This opens up new areas of practical research. The Genes in Space-3 Project enables NASA astronauts and biochemists to identify and treat microbial ailments in space. The new project will also help to identify potential lifeforms on other planets and conduct practical experiments […]
