‘Space hurricane’ spotted above Earth for the first time ever
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: climatology, space
A first-ever “space hurricane” was spotted whirling above the Earth, scientists said.
The 600-mile-wide mass of plasma occurred several hundreds of miles above the North Pole, according to a study in the journal Nature Communications.
“Until now, it was uncertain that space plasma hurricanes even existed, so to prove this with such a striking observation is incredible,” said Mike Lockwood, a space scientist at the University of Reading and co-author of the study, in a statement.

Astronauts Explore Caves on Earth, Learning the Skills They’ll Need for the Moon and Mars
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: habitats, space
A unique training program has teams of astronauts spending time inside caves doing experiments and learning to work together in a challenging environment.
We’re accustomed to astronauts pulling off their missions without a hitch. They head up to the International Space Station for months at a time and do what they do, then come home. But upcoming missions to the surface of the Moon, and maybe Mars, present a whole new set of challenges.
One way astronauts are preparing for those challenges is by exploring the extreme environment inside caves.

Simulations suggest Earth’s oxygen-rich atmosphere will last only another billion years
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in category: space
A pair of researchers from Toho University and NASA Nexus for Exoplanet System Science has found evidence, via simulation, that Earth will lose its oxygen-rich atmosphere in approximately 1 billion years. In their paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience, Kazumi Ozaki and Christopher Reinhard describe the factors that went into their simulation and what it showed.
