Earth-based lifeforms known as lichens may be tough enough to survive on Mars, a new study suggests. Scientists came to this conclusion after blasting the lichens with a year's worth of Martian radiation in less than a day during a lab experiment — and the terrestrial lifeforms survived the process. Mars is not an easy place to live. The Red Planet is essentially one giant desert with a minimal atmosphere, low temperatures and no liquid water at its surface.

The unexpected surge of solar activity during the ongoing solar maximum may be tied to a lesser-known, 100-year-long cycle that is just beginning to ramp up again, a new study suggests. If that's true, the next few decades could see further increases in solar activity that may threaten Earth-orbiting spacecraft and continue to trigger vibrant auroras across the globe. However, other experts are skeptical of the new findings.

An emerald-colored comet discovered at the start of the month has just "erupted" as it continues to race toward the inner solar system, before eventually slingshotting around the sun. The icy outburst, which temporarily caused the comet to brighten, could be a sign that it is a "cold volcano." The eruption also may have implications for whether the comet will be visible to the naked eye — but it is too soon to tell for sure.
