Across six Apollo landings, astronauts left a commonly cited 96 waste bags and containers on the Moon. Researchers have proposed retrieving one—not to clean up, but to discover whether any human microbes survived up to 57 years of lunar radiation, vacuum and extreme temperature swings.

In May 2024, the Gannon geomagnetic storm—the strongest in more than two decades—compressed Earth’s plasmasphere to roughly one-fifth its previous radial extent, while the same disturbance pushed auroras unusually close to the equator, bringing the northern lights to Mexico and Japan and the southern lights across Australia.
For millions of people, the Gannon storm arrived as colour. Red auroras appeared over Mexico, blue and purple…
Six healthy men entered a simulated Mars spacecraft in 2010. Within three months they were moving less, and over 520 days the crew slept and rested progressively more—a slide into what researchers called “behavioural torpor,” possibly driven by confinement, monotony and dim artificial light.
Six men sealed inside a simulated Mars spacecraft became progressively less active across 520 days. From the first…
