NASA and QUT researchers have this week published the best evidence yet for potential biosignatures on Mars.

The Bright Angel formation was found to feature iron phosphate and sulfide minerals in an organic carbon mudstone.

What an incredible image! It looks like an artist piece - Space is beautiful.

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

Jupiter and the moon are close together tonight, so I captured each of them at high magnification and composited them into the same frame. This is how they look relative to each other in the sky. Jupiter looks 50x smaller in than the moon here, but is actually 2000x further away.

With Earth resources becoming more and more scarce, this asteroid, and others, could be the solution we need to solve this ever-growing crisis.

🤘 Metalheads, digital creators, and people who just rock: Apply by Monday, Aug. 28, for a chance to snap photos and video at @NASAKennedy of the launch of our #MissionToPsyche, set to lift off on a @SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on Oct. 5. https://t.co/oEuUxBquVE

Psyche is a unique metal-rich asteroid believed to be the core of a failed planet. Yeah, you could say it's hardcore.

[QUT Space @QUTSpace]

The Jezero Crater has a rich history of how it was formed. It potentially holds the key to understanding the past of Mars and if it was once host to ancient microbial life.
#QUTScience #QUTSpace #AustralianSpaceAgency

[NASA JPL @NASAJPL]

What could an ancient river tell us about Mars?

This sample may give us insight into how water once flowed in Jezero Crater.

Water is a key part of life and #MarsSampleReturn could bring this sample to Earth for further study to see if microscopic life ever existed on Mars.

[QUT Space @QUTSpace]

Incredibly stunning images! Thanks for sharing @esa

Have any plans for the long weekend?

55 Cancri e, or Planet Janssen, orbits a star only 41 light years away. Explore a lava ocean under sparkling silicate skies. This uninhabitable place may be the fiery vacation you’ve been looking for. 🔥

[QUT Space @QUTSpace]

An extremely well communicated video from @NASAAstrobio! Watch on to check out the work that a lot of the @QUTSpace team are involved in.

[ARCHIVED – NASA Astrobiology @NASAAstrobio]

Strap in – it’s time to meet your ancient ancestors! Fossilized microbial communities in Western Australia are helping scientists hone their skills for detecting potential ancient life on Mars. Join us on an expedition to see what our own backyard can teach us about the search for life elsewhere alongside members of @NASAMars, @ESA, @AusSpaceAgency, and @CSIRO. Dive into the details: https://t.co/j9ZScGo0gk

The coolest place in Earth orbit is getting an upgrade 😎

The Cold Atom Lab, a quantum science lab aboard the @Space_Station, makes it easier to study atoms in ways that aren't possible on Earth. The upgrade will expand our research of the quantum realm: https://t.co/srj6Wo19z1
