Melting ice sheets of Greenland have been a cause of concern for researchers and climate change proponents, as previous studies on the ice sheet behaviors projected Greenland's ice less stable when compared to Antarctica's ice. But a recent study by scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, suggests that we may have got it all wrong.
Two Arizona State University research teams have partnered with NASA's Johnson Space Center to strengthen the realms of space microbiology.

NASA scientists believe that they might have found a lost 1967 Lunar Orbiter 2 spacecraft that took "the picture of the century" before crashing on the moon.
Now that NASA is done with its Space Shuttle Program, the $100 billion International Space Station it worked so hard to build will stay afloat in space until at least 2020, according to comments by Russia's space agency.
The first known Earth Trojan asteroid, called 2010 TK7, has been discovered rotating the sun in Earth's orbit.
NASA has big plans for 3D printers as they look to move beyond low earth orbit. 3D printers have the ability to create spare parts or tools on the spot in zero gravity or on other planets.
Space Exploration Technologies, a privately owned firm developing a space taxi with U.S.-government backing, plans to launch its second test capsule on November 30 and send it all the way to the International Space Station, a company manager said on Thursday.
NASA's Juno probe is heading to Jupiter to study how much water the planet holds, what triggers its vast magnetic fields, and whether a solid core lies beneath its dense, hot atmosphere. In the process NASA hopes to uncover clues to the origins of planet earth.
Astronomers have discovered a Trojan asteroid, which is orbiting the Sun along the same path as the Earth.
The International Space Station may sink into the Pacific ocean in 2020.
Trojan asteroid shares the same orbit as Earth. Will it come in contact with Earth anytime soon?

NASA's Juno Spacecraft is getting ready to embark on its journey to Jupiter, where scientists hope it will bring further understanding to solar system's beginnings.
Trojan asteroids share orbits with other planets in our Solar System to include Neptune, Mars and Jupiter. Two of Saturn's moons share orbits with Trojans, according to NASA.
A robotic probe, Juno, was hoisted onto an unmanned Atlas 5 rocket at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Wednesday in preparation for a launch into the heart of Jupiter. The Juno probe is scheduled to spend a year cycling inside Jupiter's deadly radiation belts to learn how much water the planet holds, what triggers its vast magnetic fields, and whether a solid core lies beneath its dense, hot atmosphere.
NASA's Juno Spacecraft was secured to its rocket on Wednesday morning, ready to embark on its journey to Jupiter.
It has seen the starry heavens, but at the end of its life cycle, the International Space Station is set to see the bottom of the deep blue sea.
One of the biggest questions physicists usually face is why the sun's corona -- its outer atmosphere -- is so hot, but it seems the latest research may bring them one step closer to solving the mystery.
A black hole at the center of a large galaxy has been seen attracting the motion of gas with its intense gravity and dominating the flow of gas towards it. As gas flows toward a black hole, it becomes squeezed, making it hotter and brighter, a phenomenon now confirmed by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.
Scientists have discovered first Trojan asteroid companion to Earth that orbits around the sun along with Earth for thousands of years.
NASA is scheduled to launch the Juno spacecraft on August 5 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, to the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter, in what will be the first of three upcoming planetary missions.
