  • Interesting discoveries made about the dwarf planet Haumea.
  • Japanese and US space agencies are studying geologic features of our lunar body to possibly aid the prospects of human shelters on the moon.
  • With finding water quite abundant in other parts of our solar system, what does that mean for the possibility of finding life outside of our planet?
