Aliens are out there. But a new study suggests they’re more rare than we think. According to a new analysis from scientists at the University of Nottingham in England, we don’t have a lot of alien company. On June 15, two researchers published a paper in the Astrophysical Journal arguing that the Milky Way — which sports an estimated several hundred billion stars — […]

A Physicist Claims He’s Figured Out Why We Haven’t Met Aliens Yet, And It’s Pretty Worrying The question “where is everyone?” is the crux of the Fermi Paradox. If life on Earth is not particularly special and unique, where are all the alien civilizations? Many explanations have been proposed to explain why we seem to be alone in the vast […]

There may be more than 36 intelligent alien civilizations in the Milky Way, scientists say They may not be little green men. They may not arrive in a vast spaceship. But according to new calculations, there could be more than 30 intelligent civilisations in our galaxy today capable of communicating with others. Experts say the work not only offers insights […]

A new clue to human evolution’s biggest mystery emerges in the Philippines Denisovans are an elusive bunch, known mainly from ancient DNA samples and traces of that DNA that the ancient hominids shared when they interbred with Homo sapiens. They left their biggest genetic imprint on people who now live in Southeast Asian islands, nearby Papua New Guinea and Australia. Genetic […]

Methane Plumes on Saturn’s Moon Likely a Good Sign of Alien Life An unknown methane-producing process is likely at work in the hidden ocean beneath the icy shell of Saturn’s moon Enceladus, suggests a new study published in Nature Astronomy by scientists at the University of Arizona and Paris Sciences & Lettres University. Giant water plumes erupting from Enceladus have […]

‘Bathtub rings’ around Titan’s lakes might be made of alien crystals Titan is a weird place. Bigger than the planet Mercury, it has an atmosphere, and it rains and snows. There are liquid lakes and oceans of methane and ethane on the surface, but of water underground. Titan also has strange minerals that don’t exist on Earth, according to research […]

Sediments from Lake in Japan Reveal Stable Climate Led to Origin of Agriculture The advent of agriculture was a significant turning point in the history of modern humans, beyond which humans started living a sedentary life and formed a so-called “civilization.” However, the environmental factors responsible for this revolutionary change in human lifestyle have been unclear for quite a long. […]

Methane Plumes on Saturn’s Moon Likely a Good Sign of Alien Life A study published in Nature Astronomy concludes that known geochemical processes can’t explain the levels of methane measured by the Cassini spacecraft on Saturn’s icy moon. An unknown methane-producing process is likely at work in the hidden ocean beneath the icy shell of Saturn’s moon Enceladus, suggests a […]

Our galaxy could have at least 36 intelligent alien civilizations, researchers say Humans have long suspected that we are not alone in the universe, and now scientists have said there may be dozens of alien civilizations lurking not too far from Earth. Some of them may even be advanced enough to communicate with us. According to a new study in The Astrophysical […]

Astronomers Detect Isotopes in Distant Alien World’s Atmosphere–10 Reasons Why This Is Huge By monitoring the cosmos with a radio telescope array, a Cornell University-led international team of scientists has detected radio bursts emanating from the constellation Boötes. The signal could be the first radio emission collected from a planet beyond our solar system. The team, led by Cornell postdoctoral […]
