The great ice streams of the Antarctic and Greenland are like frozen rivers, carrying ice from the massive inland ice sheets ...

A new study focusing on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, shows that the physics of alien oceans could prevent evidence of deep-sea life from reaching places where we can detect it.

THE search for alien life across our Solar System and beyond has so far kicked up nothing intelligent – let alone microbial. But researchers now believe extraterrestrials could be lurking ...

Searching for life in alien oceans may be more difficult than scientists previously thought, even when we can sample these ...
