The new conclusions are based on the discovery of Boron on the surface of Mars by NASA\\u2019s Curiosity rover.\\xa0*Icy surprises at Rosetta\'s Comet\\xa0The European Space Agency\\u2019s historic Rosetta mission to the Comet 67P/Churyumov\\u2013Gerasimenko may be over but scientists are still making new discoveries as they sift through the petabytes of data collected during the journey. The research team have just discovered that as Rosetta\\u2019s comet approached its most active period in August 2015, the spacecraft spotted carbon dioxide ice \\u2013 never before seen on a comet \\u2013 followed by the emergence of two unusually large patches of water ice.\\xa0*A new explanation for the so-called Alien megastructure star\\xa0Scientists have come up with a new hypothesis to explain the weirdness of the so-called Alien megastructure star KIC 8462852 which has shown dramatic changes in brightness that until now couldn\\u2019t be explained by most astrophysical processes. The best one, however, was the now notorious Alien megastructure suggestion which jokingly postulated that it could be an advanced alien civilisation harvesting much of the star\\u2019s energy using a Dyson sphere -- a massive structure composed of solar panels large enough to surround an entire star.\\xa0*New tropical cyclone research satellites launched\\xa0NASA\\u2019s new Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System \\u2013 CYGNSS \\u2013 has been successfully launched into orbit aboard a Pegasus rocket. The CYGNSS constellation of eight small satellites will allow scientists to study tropical cyclones, hurricanes, and other storms in unprecedented detail.If you\'re enjoying SpaceTime, please help out by sharing and telling your friends.
