Experimentally modeling the habitability of extreme ocean world conditions, such as those on Jupiter’s moon: Europa, would benefit from integrated microbe-virus model studies to provide both a microbial model and […]
Extremophiles are microorganisms that thrive in environments previously thought to be uninhabitable, including extreme temperature, salinity, pH, pressure, and radiation.
In the domain of planetary science, novelty detection is gaining attention because of the operational opportunities it offers, including annotated data products and downlink prioritization.
Under its thick ice layer, Europa contains a shielded liquid water ocean where habitable conditions may exist. To effectively assess the habitability of this environment and the implications on putative […]
Introduction Microgravity is a critical environmental factor in space that can alter microbial physiology and virus–host interactions. Understanding these effects is essential for planetary protection and crew health during long-term […]
Editor’s note: this is a response to Oxygen Produced In The Deep Sea Raises Questions About Extraterrestrial Life, Boston University 27 August 2024
Introduction: The presence of hypersaline brines on other planets and moons in the inner and outer Solar System has been well established.
The discovery of extraterrestrial reservoirs of liquid water has motivated missions to icy moons Europa and Titan.
Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons, is considered one of the most promising places in the solar system to find life.
Snow algae form extensive blooms within Antarctica’s coastal snowpacks and are a crucial contributor to its scarce terrestrial ecosystems.
