A series of NASA experiments has indicated that on Saturn's largest moon, hydrocarbon lakes may occasionally “breathe” nitrogen.

“The concept is simple: transport astronauts from Earth to a Mars-orbiting science laboratory."

The potential collaboration would send a lander to Venus to learn more about the planet's formation and evolution.

The finding suggests Saturn’s icy moon could have an underground reservoir of liquid water closer to the surface than previously thought.

Potatoes can grow on Mars and places on Earth affected by climate change, researchers in Peru using a CubeSat mimicking the red planet's environment found -- and you can even watch the live stream here.
