Alien Signal Detected? Scientists Reveal New Plan For Telling The World
Scientists have updated global guidelines for announcing possible evidence of intelligent alien life, aiming to prevent misinformation, panic and confusion in the age of social media and AI.

SETI Scientists Searched Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS for Alien Signals
SETI researchers used the Allen Telescope Array to scan interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS for artificial radio signals. No techno-signatures were detected, but the observations improved methods for future searches.

Scientists Analyse 12 Billion 'Signals Of Interest' In Search For Alien Intelligence
The SETI@home project may have ended, but the search continues.

Scientists Study 100 Possible Alien Signals as Arecibo’s Historic SETI Search Concludes
Scientists are studying 100 possible alien radio signals identified from Arecibo Observatory data, bringing the 21-year SETI@Home project to a close. Supported by millions of volunteers, the effort found no confirmed alien messages but set new sensitivity standards. Researchers say the findings will guide future searches using more powerful radio t...

Do Aliens Exist? India, Japan Team Up To Answer Question With Giant Telescope
The goal of the Thirty Metre Telescope project is to peer deeper into the cosmos than ever before, studying black holes, distant galaxies, and, most intriguingly, searching for signs of life beyond Earth.

Life In Asteroid Belt? New Research Suggests Ceres Was Once Habitable
A new study based on data from NASA's Dawn mission suggests that Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, may have been capable of supporting single-celled life billions of years ago.

A New 'Earth' Next Door? Scientists Detect Possible Habitable Planet Around Closest Sun-Like Star
Astronomers using JWST have detected a giant exoplanet in the habitable zone of Alpha Centauri A, our nearest Sun-like star.

New Habitability Model Helps Identify Which Alien Planets Might Be Able to Host Life
A NASA-developed model now enables scientists to estimate the likelihood of life on distant planets or moons using limited and uncertain remote-sensing data. By comparing habitat conditions with known lifeforms or hypothetical organisms, the framework offers a probabilistic tool to assess alien environments and improve telescope targeting in the on...

New Study Challenges Great Filter Theory, Suggests Life Evolves with Planetary Changes
A recent study argues that intelligent life does not emerge by sheer luck but evolves when planetary conditions become suitable. Researchers challenge the "great filter" concept, suggesting that Earth's changing geobiology influenced when life arose rather than a series of improbable events. This perspective shifts the focus to how planetary enviro...

New Study Suggests Intelligent Life May Be More Common Than Thought
A groundbreaking study challenges the long-held belief that intelligent life is rare, proposing that the emergence of complex life could be a natural outcome of planetary conditions. Researchers suggest that life evolves in response to planetary changes, rather than a series of improbable evolutionary leaps. This new model, led by experts in astrop...

Astrobiologists Create Framework to Study Extraterrestrial Life Evolution
Astrobiologists are redefining the search for extraterrestrial life, focusing on evolution and complexity in physical systems. Methods include spectroscopy for detecting chemical signatures and frameworks exploring non-Earth biochemistry. Researchers are also investigating technosignatures and minerals linked to biological processes. A universal un...

NASA Investigates Ingenuity’s Last Flight, Explains Why it Crashed on its 72nd Flight
NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, initially planned for five flights, completed 72 missions, ending its journey on January 18, 2024. Its final flight encountered navigation challenges over Jezero Crater's featureless terrain, leading to rotor blade damage. Despite being grounded, Ingenuity continues contributing data to Mars research. NASA is now...

Fastest-Moving Stars in the Galaxy May be Piloted by Aliens, New Study Suggests
A recent study proposes that advanced alien civilisations might utilise binary star systems, especially those involving neutron stars, as massive interstellar spacecraft. By ejecting material in specific directions, the stars could generate thrust, moving the system across the galaxy. Known hypervelocity stars with unusual accelerations are suggest...

Father and Daughter Decode Mysterious Signal From Space: What Does It Mean?
In 2023, a cosmic puzzle was decoded by a father-daughter team of citizen scientists. The message, originating from Mars, reveals five amino acids. While the project simulated an extraterrestrial transmission, the meaning of these amino acids remains uncertain. Could they represent life? Or perhaps something more? This fascinating puzzle has ignite...
