In a new study, NASA-supported scientists explored rare bacteria that survive only by living and reproducing as a group—like a multicellular organism. They’re the only known bacteria to do this, and studying them could help astrobiologists explain key steps in life's evolution.

Time to take a bite out of "Krokodillen!" I'm exploring a new area that has been on my science team's wish list for a while. The rocks here formed before Jezero Crater was created and could include some of the oldest rocks on Mars. go.nasa.gov/4kwyuHb

How did life begin on Earth? Our Dragonfly mission aims to find clues by exploring Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. As a pristine chemical "laboratory," Titan offers a unique window into the processes that may have led to complex molecules and the first signs of life! More:

Where did Mars' water go? And why? These questions have long puzzled scientists. Now, after a decade of searching, NASA Mars’ MAVEN has made the first direct observation of an elusive atmospheric escape process known as sputtering, offering new insight into the Red Planet’s
