Scientists plan to explore alien worlds by using laser beams on Earth
Washington, March 7 (ANI): Scientists are planning to explore alien world conditions right here on Earth, by using laser beams to hit a tiny target, creating conditions momentarily similar to what exists in the cores of stars and giant planets and inside nuclear weapons.
According to a report in Discovery News, these experiments would be [...]
“Earthlings” to visit Martian moon Phobos
Washington, Feb 26 (ANI): Soon, the Martian moon Phobos would be visited by “Earthlings”, in the form of an assortment of critters and microbes scheduled to make a round-trip journey to the natural satellite as passengers aboard a Russian spacecraft, scheduled to launch in October this year.
