Europa Clipper is a NASA mission designed to explore Europa, one of Jupiter's largest moons. Scheduled for launch in the 2020s, Europa Clipper will conduct detailed reconnaissance of Europa’s ice-covered ocean, which may harbor conditions suitable for life. The spacecraft is equipped with a suite of scientific instruments to study Europa's surface, subsurface ocean, and geologic activity.

NASA and Japanese Scientists Forecast the Slow Demise of Earth’s Habitability
Source: by NASA © Vadim Sadovski_ shutterstock.com
In a groundbreaking study, NASA scientists and researchers from Japan’s Toho University have used advanced supercomputer simulations to predict the eventual end of life on Earth. The research, which focuses on the effects of solar radiation and atmospheric changes over billions of years, projects that Earth will no longer support life around the year 1,000,002,021. According to the models, the Sun’s increasing energy output will gradually warm the planet, ultimately disrupting the delicate atmospheric balance needed for oxygen-based life.
As the Sun ages, its luminosity will intensify, triggering higher global temperatures and fundamental shifts in Earth’s atmosphere. These changes will slowly deplete the planet’s oxygen levels—a vital element for most life forms. NASA scientists say this slow transformation, driven primarily by stellar evolution, will eventually make the planet uninhabitable.
Oxygen Depletion Will Lead to a Slow Biological Collapse
The study identifies oxygen loss as the key factor in Earth’s future extinction. As the climate warms and the carbon cycle becomes unstable, plant life will diminish and photosynthesis—the process by which oxygen is generated—will falter. Over time, this disruption will lead to a sharp decline in oxygen levels. Without sufficient oxygen, aerobic life—including humans and animals—will cease to exist.
Toho University’s simulations, which track climate and atmospheric changes year by year, show that Earth’s atmosphere will become rich in methane and other greenhouse gases, while oxygen will vanish. Eventually, only anaerobic microbes—organisms that do not rely on oxygen—may survive, though even these would have a limited lifespan in an increasingly hostile environment.
Researchers have already observed early signs of these long-term changes. A recent solar storm, the most powerful in two decades, disrupted Earth’s magnetic field and was linked to minor atmospheric changes. While such events are short-term, they offer insight into the slow chemical transformations projected by the study.
Long-Term Survival May Depend on Innovation and Exploration
While the study paints a stark picture of Earth’s distant future, NASA scientists emphasize that the transition to an uninhabitable state will be gradual. This provides a window for adaptation and innovation. Some researchers propose enclosed life-support systems and artificial habitats as ways to extend life on Earth. Others believe that space colonization will be the key to humanity’s survival.
Space agencies such as NASA and private companies like SpaceX are already developing missions aimed at establishing human settlements on other planets, particularly Mars. These efforts take on renewed importance in light of the new projections. The study encourages continued investment in scientific research and technological solutions that may help future generations adapt to or escape the eventual decline of Earth’s habitability.
Ultimately, while the planet’s end is billions of years away, the study underscores the importance of both short- and long-term planning. It calls on today’s scientists and leaders to take early signs seriously and to prioritize innovation, sustainability, and space exploration in the quest for long-term survival.

NASA and Japan’s Toho University used supercomputers to predict Earth’s distant future. Their models reveal that rising solar output will make the planet uninhabitable by the year 1,000,002,021. Life will fade slowly as oxygen drops, temperatures rise, and the atmosphere deteriorates—a stark reminder of Earth’s finite habitability.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is set to transform our understanding of the Sun. This groundbreaking spacecraft is venturing closer to the Sun’s surface than any mission in history, navigating well within Mercury's orbit. By entering the Sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona, for the first time, the probe is capturing invaluable data and images. These efforts aim to deepen our knowledge of the solar wind's origin and behavior. Additionally, the mission plays a vital role in improving our ability to predict changes in the space environment that impact both life and technology on Earth.

Rethinking Vesta: New Study Challenges Long-Held Beliefs About Asteroid’s Origins
Source: msn.com
NASA’s Dawn spacecraft data has provided groundbreaking insights into Asteroid Vesta, the second-largest object in the asteroid belt. Long believed to be a protoplanet with a layered internal structure—including a core, mantle, and crust—Vesta may not be what scientists previously thought. According to a research team led by planetary scientist Seth Jacobson of Michigan State University, Vesta lacks a core altogether, a finding that upends decades of assumptions about its planetary status.
NASA’s Dawn mission, which orbited Vesta between 2011 and 2012, collected precise gravitational and rotational data. For years, scientists struggled to reconcile these measurements with the expectation that Vesta had a planetary structure. Now, with advanced data processing techniques and nearly a decade of refined calibration, researchers have concluded that Vesta’s interior is not consistent with that of a protoplanet. Yet, its surface still shows volcanic basalt—a feature not typically associated with standard asteroids—making Vesta a geological puzzle that defies easy classification.
Not a Protoplanet, But Not an Asteroid Either
Asteroid Vesta, officially designated (4) Vesta, spans approximately 500 kilometers in diameter and is located between Mars and Jupiter. Although smaller than Ceres—now classified as a dwarf planet—Vesta has long occupied a unique place in solar system studies. Scientists assumed it was an early-stage planet that never completed its formation, making it a “protoplanet.” This notion has now been challenged by findings published in Nature Astronomy.
According to Jacobson’s team, Vesta shows no evidence of a core, a surprising development that requires scientists to reframe the body’s evolutionary history. The research suggests that the internal melting process that forms planetary layers may have started within Vesta but was never completed. What halted this process remains unclear, leaving room for further inquiry.
An alternative explanation posited by the researchers is even more intriguing: Vesta could be a fragment of a larger, developing planet that existed in the early solar system. Jacobson has previously explored the possibility of such planetary remnants surviving in the asteroid belt, and Vesta might be the first significant candidate fitting this description. “We just don’t yet know from which planet,” Jacobson stated, underscoring the mystery surrounding Vesta’s true origin.
Dawn’s Legacy and the Future of Vesta Research
The findings are based on data collected over a decade ago but only now fully understood thanks to advances in modeling and analysis. The Dawn spacecraft, which studied both Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres, provided high-resolution gravity measurements and detailed imaging that continue to yield scientific insights long after the mission’s end.
With the recent breakthrough, scientists are now poised to model Vesta’s evolutionary history more accurately. The gravity data, once considered contradictory, can finally be interpreted in a meaningful context. Researchers believe that more discoveries lie hidden in the Dawn mission’s archive, awaiting further analysis with modern techniques.
As scientists revisit Asteroid Vesta’s role in the solar system, its unique composition and structure continue to challenge distinctions between asteroid and planet. Whether a stunted planet or a planetary fragment, Vesta’s story is far from complete—and future research may yet reveal its cosmic origins.

Günümüzde uzaya çıkmanın iki yolu var. Ya astronot ya da milyarder olmak. Peki ya bunlardan biri değilsek? Bizim de uzaya çıkmak için bir şansımız olabilir mi? Mesela evreni keşfetmek ya da sadece yaşadığımız gezegeni uzaydan görebilmek için uzay asansörü kullanıyor olsaydık? Güzel olmaz mıydı? Yaşadığımız, gezdiğimiz ya da çalıştığımız binalarda yüksek noktalara çıkmak için asansör kullanırız. Peki, asansörler daha uzun yollar katetseydi uzaya çıkmamız için iyi bir araç olmazlar mıydı? Ama bir dakika… Bunun bize maliyeti nedir? Bunu yapabilecek bir teknolojiye sahip miyiz? Uzay asansörü yapmak bize ne kazandıracak? Bir uzay asansörünü nasıl yapabiliriz? Devamı linkte.
