If confirmed, the fossils are 220 million years older than any previously found, providing tangible evidence of ancient living organisms that offer potential clues about similar life on Mars.The researchers, who published their findings in the journal Nature, believe that the fossils are stromatolites -- mound-like structures produced by photosynthetic bacteria. The microscopic bugs formed colonies on the sea floor, depositing carbonates and combining with sediment to make mounds that were event..>> view originalLive Coverage: Explosion at Falcon 9 launch pad

AUSTIN, TX -- There's an unforgettable scene in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey when Hal 9000, the spaceship's computer, decides to take control of the mission. Returning from a space walk, the astronaut repeatedly orders the computer to open the ship's pod bay doors for re-entry. "I'm sorry, Dave," Hal finally responds in skin-crawlingly-creepy monotone after remaining silent despite numerous requests for the doors' opening. "I'm afraid I can't do that." It's the haunting stuff of nightmares, in..>> view originalEclipse in Africa: 'Ring of Fire' eclipse wows stargazers

The dwarf planet Ceres is a complex and active world unlike any other place in the solar system, new research suggests. Observations by NASA's Ceres-orbiting Dawn spacecraft indicate that "ice volcanos" have erupted on the dwarf planet in the recent past and that Ceres' crust is an odd ice-rock mixture that has never been observed before, scientists reported in a series of six new studies published online today (Sept. 1) in the journal Science.
