A 'groundbreaking' ocean discovery may be a clue about extraterrestrial life
Scientists say the findings help explain how life can exist in extreme environments using the chemical compound methane instead of sunlight. Strange animals that get their energy from chemical reactions instead of the sun have been discovered at the bottom of ocean trenches up to 31,000 feet deep in the northwest Pacific between Russia and Alaska, a new study reports. Scientists say the findings shed new light on the potential for life to exist in extreme environments using the chemical compound methane instead of sunlight. The animals were discovered by researchers using a human-crewed submersible vehicle. "What makes our discovery groundbreaking is not just its greater depth – it's the astonishing abundance and diversity of chemosynthetic life we observed," said marine geochemist Mengran Du of the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, one of the authors of the research published July 30 in the peer-reviewed British journal Nature. The authors suggest that similar communities may be more widespread than previously thought, and their findings challenge views about how the ecosystems might be supported. "Even though living in the harshest environment, these life forms found their way in surviving and thriving," Du said. To some, the findings prompt questions about the potential for finding life on other planets. Marine geologist and study co-author Xiaotong Peng said "we suggest that similar chemosynthetic communities may also exist in extraterrestrial oceans, as chemical species like methane and hydrogen are common there." Could this kind of life be found on other planets? Du told USA TODAY that similar chemosynthetic life forms could exist on Jupiter's moon Europa, or even Saturn's moon Enceladus. Europa might be the most likely: "Europa's ocean is considered one of the most promising places in the solar system to look for life beyond Earth," according to NASA. "There is very strong evidence that the ingredients for life exist on Europa," said planetary scientist Bonnie Buratti of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who was not part of this study. At the bottom of Europa's ocean, where the water meets the rocky mantle, there may be thermal vents where heat releases chemical energy. "They may be similar to thermal vents in the deep oceans of the Earth where primitive life exists and where life may have originated on the Earth," Buratti said. Europa Clipper will tell us more NASA hopes the Europa Clipper spacecraft will help "determine whether (Europa's) subsurface ocean harbors a habitable environment," Buratti said. She added that the current thinking is that life arose in the depth's of the Earth's oceans, so seeking a similar environment on Europa is the first step to answering questions about undersea life on other planets or moons. "Europa is the first ocean world to be studied in detail. Other bodies in the Solar System, such as Titan, Enceladus, possibly Ganymede and even Pluto, as well as many exoplanets or exomoons could also harbor habitable environments similar to those on Earth," she told USA TODAY. "We'll know much more after we get some results from Europa Clipper, starting in 2030." More: NASA's Europa Clipper launches in search for 'ingredients of life' on Jupiter's icy moon On Earth, amazing deep sea tube worms and clams Researchers found animal communities – dominated by tube worms and clams – during a series of dives to the bottom of the Kuril-Kamchatka and Aleutian trenches. The ecosystems were discovered at depths greater than the height of Mount Everest, Earth's tallest peak. The deepest one was 31,276 feet below the ocean surface in the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench. This was almost 25% deeper than such animals had previously been documented anywhere on Earth. This environment harbors "the deepest and the most extensive chemosynthetic communities known to exist on our planet," said marine geologist and study co-author Xiaotong Peng. The study reported that organisms such as these that live in extreme environments need to adapt to produce energy in different ways. Known as "chemosynthesis-based communities," they derive their energy from chemical reactions rather than from photosynthesis, which requires sunlight. Such communities can be found in deep sea habitats where chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide and methane seep from the sea floor, according to the study. Contributing: Reuters

Six-Planet Parade On Sunday: When And Where To See It By A Crescent Moon
Early risers are this week being treated to the sight of a 'planet parade' in the eastern sky before sunrise featuring Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the moon. Best seen about an hour before sunrise on Sunday, Aug. 17, Saturn will be visible in the south, with the moon high above the east, accompanied by bright planets Jupiter and Venus below. Mercury could also be glimpsed below Venus in the gathering light of dawn. Uranus and Neptune will also be in the sky but not visible to the naked eye. From Aug. 17–21, a spectacular 'planet parade' (also called an alignment) will feature the moon and six planets. getty About an hour before sunrise, a 36%-lit waning crescent moon will shine high above Jupiter and Venus in the eastern sky. Mercury will hug the eastern horizon and be easier to spot closer to sunrise, though it's on the cusp of reaching its farthest position from the sun from Earth's point of view. Jupiter will be the highest of the visible planets, while Venus will blaze brightest between Jupiter and Mercury. Saturn will be visible in the southern sky. The ringed planet is currently brightening as it nears its annual bright 'opposition' on Sept. 21, when Earth will be between Saturn and the sun. The highlight of this week's 'planet parade' will arguably come on Wednesday, Aug. 20, when a slender crescent moon will shine very close to a brilliant Venus. The next 'planet parade' isn't until October 2028, when five planets will be visible together before sunrise. Sunday, August 17: A 'Planet Parade' Stellarium Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, is hard to miss in this morning's sky. It will spend the rest of the year rising higher into the morning sky and won't come to a bright opposition this year. It's an occasional consequence of its 13-year orbit around the sun. Jupiter will next be at its biggest, brightest and best on Jan. 10, 2026. Through binoculars or a telescope, you can glimpse some of its largest moons — Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto — lined up like tiny stars. The 'planet parade' will look much the same on Monday, Aug. 18, when a slimmer 26% crescent moon will glow near Venus and Jupiter. On Tuesday, Aug. 19, Mercury will be at its highest in the morning sky as the moon wanes to 16%-lit and forms a curve with Venus and Jupiter. On Wednesday, Aug. 20, a 9%-lit crescent moon will appear very close to Venus, with Mercury below and Jupiter above in what is perhaps the highlight of the week-long event. Come Thursday, Aug. 21, the slender 4%-lit waning crescent moon will be beneath Jupiter and Venus, close to Mercury. What's Next In The Night Sky With the 'planet parade' over on Aug. 22 as Mercury sinks, Saturn and Jupiter will gradually brighten as Venus begins to fade. Before sunrise on Aug. 31, Venus will be positioned within the Beehive Cluster, a dense cluster of stars that looks great through binoculars.

Secretive Space Force X-37 space plane headed back to launch pad. Here's what we know.
The mysterious Space Force space plane is headed back to the Florida launch pad. The Boeing-built X-37B is ready to see its eighth mission less than six months after completing its last. Currently being prepared for launch at Boeing's facilities at Kennedy Space Center, according to a statement from the company, and is slated for a liftoff no earlier than August 21 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center Pad 39A. The space plane landed quietly in early March at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The vehicle spent over 430 days cruising around the Earth. That mission was launched launched atop a Falcon Heavy from Kennedy Space Center on Dec. 28, 2023. Now the Space Coast is set to see this mysterious space vehicle launch again. What will the X-37B space plane be doing for the Space Force? So what is this mysterious space plane doing on this mission? Turns out it's mostly about testing means of communication and navigation in orbit. According to Boeing, the X-37B will be carrying experiments for the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Defense Innovation Unit. "First, laser communications demos in Low Earth Orbit will contribute to more efficient and secure satellite communications in the future. The shorter wavelength of infrared light allows more data to be sent with each transmission," Space Force commander General Chance Saltzman wrote on X (formerly Twitter). There will also be testing of a new sensor, which will enable GPS contact where communication would have previously been difficult. "We're also demoing the world's highest performing quantum inertial sensor ever used in space. Bottom line: Testing this tech will be helpful for navigation in contested environments where GPS may be degraded or denied," said Saltzman. This includes beyond Earth orbit and around the moon, according to Boeing. "This mission is about more than innovation. It's about making our Joint Force more connected, more resilient, and ready to operate in the face of any challenge. That's how America's Space Force secures our Nation's interests in, from, and to space," said Saltzman. When is the next Florida rocket launch? Is there a launch today? Upcoming SpaceX, NASA, ULA rocket launch schedule at Cape Canaveral X-37B space plane stats The X-37B is a bit like NASA's Space Shuttle — however it is uncrewed and launched as a payload as opposed to on the side of boosters. According to Boeing, the X-37B has a body and landing operation similar to the Space Shuttle, however it is smaller, measuring in at just one-fourth the size of the shuttle. The reusable space plane, first launched in 2010. It has seen over 4,200 days in orbit. The X-37B last caught attention in December, when the Space Force released photo of Earth taken by the X-37B from a high orbit. While that last mission was over 430 days, some missions are longer than others. FLORIDA TODAY previously reported the sixth flight of the X-37B lasted 908 days. It is unknown how long the X-37B will be in orbit for its upcoming eighth mission. According to Boeing, the space plane orbits between 150-500 miles above the Earth. Due to the X-37B being a classified Space Force mission, details remain limited. Brooke Edwards is a Space Reporter for Florida Today. Contact her at bedwards@ or on X: @brookeofstars.
