A dwarf planet between Mars and Jupiter has a salty ocean beneath its surface, making it a contender for alien life

It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.A NASA spacecraft just discovered a hidden ocean in our solar system.The agency's Dawn probe orbited the dwarf planet Ceres, which sits inside the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, for three years before running out of fuel in 2018. At one point, Dawn zipped 22 miles, or 35 kilometers, above the small world's surface.

NASA's Perseverance rover just turned CO2 into oxygen. The technology could help astronauts breathe on Mars.
NASA sent the Perseverance rover to Mars with some bonus technology: a device that can turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, much as trees do on Earth.The device, called the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, or MOXIE, pulled carbon dioxide from the Martian atmosphere to produce its first oxygen on Tuesday. It's a small amount - 5.4 grams, enough to keep an astronaut healthy for 10 minutes - but it's proof the technology works on the red planet.That's good news for the prospect of sending human explorers to Mars. Oxygen takes up a lot of room on a spacecraft, and it's unlikely...…NASA sent the Perseverance rover to Mars with some bonus technology: a device that can turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, much as trees do on Earth.The device, called the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, or MOXIE, pulled carbon dioxide from the Martian atmosphere to produce its first oxygen on Tuesday.
