Scientists just grew plants in soil from the Moon, but Antarctica has long provided researchers with the perfect place to test their agricultural techniques for a future in space.

The study found that the concentration of nitrogen oxides released into the atmosphere was considered "hazardous to human health" under WHO standards.

The first private astronauts, who paid $55 million to journey to the ISS, needed some handholding from the regular crew.

Researchers had no idea if anything would sprout in harsh moon dirt and wanted to see if it could be used to grow food by the next generation of lunar explorers. The results stunned them.

The seismometer placed on Mars by NASA's InSight lander has recorded its two largest seismic events to date: a magnitude 4.2 and a magnitude 4.1 marsquake. The pair are the first recorded events to occur on the planet's far side from the lander and are five times stronger than the previous largest event recorded.

Thanks to a clue from Greenland, of all places
