Molecule Crucial For 'Happy Hormone' Found In Asteroid Bennu's Sample
For the first time, tryptophan, which is an essential amino acid, has been identified in extraterrestrial material.

Icy Moons Might Have Oceans That Briefly Boil, Study Suggests
A new study suggests that icy moons such as Mimas and Enceladus may host boiling subsurface oceans triggered by thinning ice shells and falling pressure. This low-temperature boiling could still support life beneath the surface. The research also explains geological features on larger icy moons and strengthens their potential as sites for finding e...

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.

Scientist Claims Alien Probes May Be In Plain Sight, Observing Earth's Growing Intelligence
Ellery suggested that building a nuclear reactor on the Moon could yield chemical signatures that could be explored in the future.

German Scientists Develop Laser Drill to Explore Icy Moons’ Hidden Oceans
Scientists from TU Dresden have created a laser drill that vaporises ice to reach potential subsurface oceans on Europa and Enceladus. Lighter and more energy-efficient than mechanical drills, it enables deep exploration with minimal power, paving the way for studying icy worlds and their potential for extraterrestrial life.

Saturn’s Moon Titan Breaks One of Chemistry’s Oldest Rules, NASA Study Reveals
Saturn’s moon Titan has shocked scientists by breaking a key chemistry rule. NASA and Chalmers University researchers found that polar and nonpolar molecules, usually immiscible, can mix under Titan’s extreme cold. The discovery deepens our understanding of prebiotic chemistry and could reveal how life’s building blocks form in frigid extrate...

Aliens Got "Bored" So Stopped Trying To Contact Humans, Claims Scientist
The idea is based on the Fermi Paradox, which questions why we haven't yet detected signs of intelligent extraterrestrial life.

More Ingredients For Life Discovered In Ocean On Saturn Moon
The ocean hidden under the icy shell of Saturn's moon Enceladus harbours complex organic molecules, a study said, offering further evidence that the small world could have all the right ingredients to host extraterrestrial life.

Aliens Could Be Listening To Us Right Now, Says NASA Study
A new NASA-backed study suggests alien civilisations could eavesdrop on Earth's space transmissions, offering a new approach to detecting extraterrestrial life.

"Drone, Meteor Or UFO?": Buzz After Video Shows Missile Being Fired At Unknown Object In China
Videos on social media appear to capture a fireball being intercepted by a bright light in the sky, resulting in an instant explosion.

Chinese Astronomers Search for Extraterrestrial Signals in TRAPPIST-1 System
Chinese scientists turned the world’s most sensitive radio telescope, FAST, toward the TRAPPIST-1 system, a promising site for alien life with seven rocky planets. Although no signals were detected, the study set new limits on possible extraterrestrial transmissions and highlighted advanced techniques driving today’s search for intelligent life...

NASA Telescope Detects Possible Signs Of Alien Life On Distant 'Water World'
Researchers using the Webb telescope found traces of two gases, dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), in the atmosphere of K2-18b, a planet 124 light-years away.

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.
