The exoplanet is in the so called "habitable" zone of its host star Proxima Centauri, which means that it lies in the region where the average temperature is just right for liquid water to exist, which indicate possibility that it can support life. Now, findings of a new study, ..

• 'Martian gardens' to find best veggies to grow during future manned missions to Mars

  

  Washington: Nasa scientists are using simulated 'Martian gardens' to learn which plants astronauts might be able to grow during future manned missions to the red planet.One major challenge for human journey to Mars will be determining how to pack enough food for astronauts for these kinds of extended missions.Plants were grown in a preliminary experiment comparing (left to right) potting soil, regolith simulant with added nutrients, and simulant without nutrients. Credits: Nasa/Dimitri Gerondida..
