Two Different Takes On Dragonfly - NASA Watch
two items from NASA about the Dragonfly mission just dropped| NASA Watch
Keith’s note: I have been editing Astrobiology.com – @Astrobiology – for 30 years. I ran peer review panels for NASA Exobiology research before that. There have been a lot of “almost” announcements over the past 30 or so years – but this one is really solid. We have not found extant life on Mars – but we seem to have found remnants of something biological from Mars’ deep past aka […] The post Likely Biosignatures Found On Mars appeared first on NASA Watch.| Astrobiology Archives - NASA Watch
Keith’s note: according to “NASA to Share Details of New Perseverance Mars Rover Finding“ there will be some Mars news – likely Astrobiology related – announced at 11 am EDT Wednesday 10 Sep. Just a guess …. from 56th LPSC a few months ago: “The Detection of a Potential Biosignature By the Perseverance Rover on Mars“ by upcoming press event participant Joel Hurowitz: “Upon entering Neretva Vallis,Perseverance investigated a set […] The post Mars News On Wednesday (Sneak Pe...| Astrobiology Archives - NASA Watch

Keith’s note: I was planning on retiring and writing my book on Astrobiology expeditions to other worlds. Then Trump 2.0 happened and everyone suddenly wanted NASAWatch back. That said, I am still trying to escape reality for several hours a day and travel on a personal Away Team sortie into the future. I hope y’all can do that too. I just posted this NOAA discovery of an alien-looking species on […] The post Ignore The Org Charts: Let’s Get Back To Actual Exploration appeared first o...| Exploration Archives - NASA Watch
Keith’s note: this web reel was just posted by CNN from the end of my interview this morning. OK, I have just about run out of ways / platforms to wave my arms and talk about what NASA needs in order to explore the universe. Your turn. “NASA needs a permanent administrator who understands rocket science and knows how all this stuff works and is committed to lead the agency […] The post Who Speaks For Science? appeared first on NASA Watch.| TrumpSpace Archives - NASA Watch

Keith’s note: Those of you in the space community know that NASA Science is facing an immense budget cut. Dozens of missions have been cancelled and many missions that are still returning valuable data are being shut off – in many cases to save a few million dollars – a tiny fraction of what it took to mount the missions in the first place. This data will be lost. In […]| NASA Watch

Astronomers have detected the most promising signs yet of a possible biosignature outside the solar system, although they remain cautious. Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the astronomers, led by the University of Cambridge, have detected the chemical fingerprints of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and/or dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), in the atmosphere of the […]| Astrobiology

Keith’s note: NASA’s Planetary Science Analysis/Assessment Groups have issued a document dated 6 May 2025, titled “AGness”. According to the authors (which has been annotated to enhance clarity, original document below), addressing members of the planetary science community: “The linked document below, The Keys of AGness, is a product of the collective Planetary Analysis and Assessment Groups (AGs), presented by their Chairs and vetted through their respective Steering/Executive Com...| Space Life Science Archives - NASA Watch

Keith’s note: as we resume lunar exploration and then head out to Mars and beyond in search of life, we will need a different mix of skills in the humans that we send out on these long terms expeditions to distant, alien places. Dale Andersen is a prototype of those future explorers. This is what he has been up to – And here’s news about the award: Astrobiologist Dale Andersen […] The post Astrobiologist Gets Prestigious Explorers Club Award appeared first on NASA Watch.| Astronauts Archives - NASA Watch
