As we race towards the end of another decade here on planet Earth our resident space and science guru, astrophysicist Dr Brad Tucker, takes a look back at the ten biggest stories of the past ten years.
The first trial of an Australian-developed technology has detected mysterious objects by sifting through signals from space like sand on a beach.
Rock and dust samples brought back from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu contain organic matter, including amino acids and all five DNA and RNA bases, as well as salts that formed early in the history of Bennu’s parent body, according to a pair of studies by international and Australian researchers.
The Schrödinger impact basin is an area of the moon that contains two gigantic canyons – that are definitely there whether you look at it or not – and international researchers say they might have found out how these huge valleys were formed.
Dust on the moon could one day be used to build solar panels, according to researchers who say this could allow astronauts to access power on the moon without carting heavy equipment from Earth.
They say music is the universal language of humankind, but some stars in our galaxy exhibit their own rhythm, offering fresh clues into how they and our galaxy evolved over time.
Miso made in space has a nuttier, more roasted flavour than miso made on solid ground, according to international researchers, who sent a small container of fermenting soybeans and salt, the ingredients for the traditional Japanese condiment, to the International Space Station.
