It's Thursday space fans! | Did Perseverance find proof of life on Mars? | Gravitational wave detector confirms Einstein's theory Created for znamenski.spacecom@blogger.com | Web Version   September 11, 2025 FOLLOW US FOLLOW US   Something amazing every day SIGN UP ⋅   WEBSITE   The Launchpad It's Thursday space fans! And it's already a busy day for us in the newsroom as yesterday the Perseverance team announced it found possible biosignatures in pieces of a Mars rock called "Cheyava Falls" that the rover first studied last year. However, until those samples can be better analyzed on Earth, they remain in a scientific limbo.  Other headlines for your daily read include a Russian Progress freighter loaded with 2.8 tons of cargo that will launch toward the ISS today (which you can watch), a deep dive into the season finale of 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' and scientists explaining how to safely deflect killer asteroids. We have all that and more for your daily read.  Thanks for exploring with us. Keep looking up,  Kenna  Content Manager, Space.com Did Perseverance find proof of life on Mars?
