NASA Plans To Crash The International Space Station (ISS) Into Point Nemo, In The South Pacific Ocean, By 2031. Point Nemo Is The point In The Ocean That is Farthest From Land, And It Has Been A Watery Grave For Many Other Spacecrafts. The ISS, Launched In 2000, Has Received More Than 200 Astronauts From 19 Different Countries.

A Very Rare Mineral On Earth, Called Jarosite, Known To Be Found Around Volcano Vents And In Exposed Mining Wastes, Was Recently Discovered In Antarctica. This Discovery Is Interesting Because Jarosite Is Abundant On Mars, Which May Hint At Almost The Same Environmental Conditions Existing On Both Mars And In The Deep Antarctic Ice.

September Of 2020 Is The Hottest Month On Record, Having Surpassed September Of 2021, The Previous Record Holder, By 0.05°C. The Increasing Temperature Trend Is Driven By Human Green House Gas Emissions, Which Also Helped Fuel The Hottest Day On Record. The Elevated Temperature Is Said To Have Contributed To WildFires Around The World.

It Takes ~6 Hours And 4 Orbits Around The Earth For A Soyuz Spacecraft To Rendevous With The International Space Station. But The Soyuz MS-17, Carrying NASA Astronaut Kate Rubins And Russian Cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov And Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, Did It In ~3 Hours With Only 2 Orbits, After A Record-Breaking Speed, Arriving On 10/14/2020 At 4:48 a.m. EDT.

Japanese Researchers Discovered That A Bacteria, Named Deinococcus Radiodurans, AKA Conan The Bacterium Due To Its Extreme Hardness, Is Capable Of Surviving In Space After It Survived For 3 Years Outside The International Space Station. The Discovery Could Throw More Light On The Possibility Of Life Existing On Other Planets.

Death Valley, In The Mojave Desert In SE California, Seems To Have Lived Up To Its Reputation As One Of The Hottest Places On Earth. Death Valley, On Sunday 8/16/2020 At 3:41p.m, Reached The Highest Temperature Ever Recorded On Earth Of 130°F (54°C). But The Record Needs To Be Verified By Climate Scientists To Make It Official.

A New Study, Based On 101.5 Myrs Old Sediments Collected From A 250 Ft Thick Sediment Layer On The Abyssal Plain, About 3.7-5.7Km Beneath The South Pacific Gyre, Showed Microbes Existing At Depths And Energy-Limiting Conditions Previously Thought Incapable Of Sustaining Life. The Study Could Have Implications For Microbes Surviving In Places Like Mars.

A New Study Of 2 Different Microbes, Bacterium E. Coli–Lacks A Nucleus, And Yeast, Which Has One, Is Indicating That They Could Thrive In 100% Hydrogen Environment, But Not As Well As In Oxygen Environment. This Implies That Life Could Evolve On A More Broader Range Of Alien World As Hydrogen Is The Most Common Element In The Universe.

Scientists May Have Discovered The Strongest Evidence Of Life On Mars Via Analyzing A 3.5 Byr-Old Soil Samples From Mars. The Evidence, A Chemical Compound Called “Thiophenes,” Is Said To Be A Tell-Tale Sign Of Life. However, There Are Skepticisms As Thiophenes Can Be Produce Via Multiple Processes, E.G Meteor Impact, And Ancient Bacteria.

Since The Country’s 1960 Highest Temperature Of 123 Degrees In Oodnadatta, Australia Has Now Recorded The Hottest Day Temp. Of 117 Degrees In Birdsville, Queensland. The Country’s Average Temp. Is So Hot, Thanks To Climate Change, Even Birds Are Seeking Refuge Under Tree Shades. The Temp. Rise Also Increased The Risk Of Bush Fires.

NASA Scientist, Gilbert Levin, Is Stating That Viking LR Data, Collected In 1976, Showed Proof Of Life On Mars Via Microbial Respiration. Interesting That No Life Detection Test, For Follow-Up, Has Been Put On Mars Rovers, In The Past 43Yrs, As NASA Rovers, Since 1976, Were Sent To Determine If Habitat Suitable For Life Ever Existed.

Yes, Further Preparations Are Being Made For Humans To Live On Mars. Scientists Are Developing The Lightest Solid Silica Material Known As Aerogel, Or Frozen Smoke Because Of Its Weight And Cloud Like Appearance. The Material Would, Like Our Ozone Layer, Block Harmful Ultraviolet Light Radiation, And Also Enable Photosynthesis For Food.

June 2019 Is Now The Hottest June On Record For The World In 140 Years. The Temperature Was 1.71 Degrees Fahrenheit (0.95 Degrees Celsius) Above The Global Average Temperature Of 59.9 F (15.5 C). But That Is Nothing Compared To July 2019, Which Is On Course To Being The Hottest Month Ever Based On The Last 2 Weeks Records.

NASA’s Curiosity Rover Has Recently Detected A Startling Amount Of Methane In Mars Air, Which Is 3 Times ( 21 PPB) The Surge Detected In 2013. Scientists Are, However, Baffled As To The Methane Source, But Could It Be From, E.G., Existing Life? Unfortunately, The Rovers Are Not Built To Verify Existing Life.
