One whale's waste is an ocean organism's treasureThe nutrients in the ocean are not evenly distributed. Resources tend to be rich around coastlines and near the poles, and are often poorer in the open ocean and the tropics. A new study has explored how urine from migrating baleen whales is a significant way that nitrogen and other nutrients are circulated in the oceans. Joe Roman is a conservation biologist at the University of Vermont. He led the research, published in the journal Nature Communications. The underground economy: Fungi and plants trade have a network under our feetScientists have used a custom robot to track the growth of a complex underground supply-chain network that forms between more than 80 per cent of the plant species on Earth and symbiotic fungus. This allowed them to trace the flow of carbon and nutrients across this network,  that draws about 13 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the soil each year. Toby Kiers, from Vrije University in Amsterdam and the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks led the work, published in the journal Nature.  Researchers capture wild sharks to get sperm samples for captive breedingIn a world-first, a team of marine biologists and veterinarians collected semen from endangered wildsharks in an effort to maintain a population of genetically healthy sharks. Christine Dudgeon, from the University of Queensland and the Sunshine Coast and the Biopixel Oceans Foundation, used some of that sperm to artificially inseminate captive females. Watching planets form in a baby solar system370 light years away, around a newborn star only five million years old, two planets are forming from the disk of gas and dust still orbiting around the star. Canadian researchers are using instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope to observe this process, and understand how the nascent planets are competing with the star for material as they grow. Dori Blakely, a PhD candidate at the University of Victoria, was the lead researcher on this article published in The Astronomical Journal. Butterfly populations are declining. Meet the people moving a forest to save them.A new study is bringing hard data to help us understand how butterfly numbers have declined steeply in recent years, due to the combination of habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide exposure. The research, co-led by Elise Zipkin, found that overall, across the United States, butterfly numbers are down 22 per cent over the past 20 years. The research was published in the journal Science.A different group of scientists is hoping to fix at least one of these problems for one species, by moving an entire forest in Mexico. The sacred fir trees, where monarch butterflies spend their winters, are struggling under climate change. Recently a team of researchers planted a thousand sacred fir trees at a new location at higher elevations to kickstart a new, future-proof forest for the butterflies to overwinter. After a few years, the researchers report the trees are doing well, in a recent paper published in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change.Quirks producer Amanda Buckiewicz spoke to Cuauhtémoc Saénz Romero, a forest geneticist at the University of Michoacán in Mexico, and Greg O'Neill, a climate change adaptation scientist with the BC Provincial Government in the Ministry of Forests.

In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have identified an Earth-sized planet closer and younger than any previously known. Positioned remarkably close to both our planet (73 light-years away) and a Sun-like star, this newly found world offers a unique opportunity for scientists to study the evolution of planets. Catalogued as HD 63433 d, this hot exoplanet orbits its star in 4.2 days, making it one of the closest orbiting Earth-sized worlds. With its young age and proximity, HD 63433 d promises invaluable insights into planetary formation and evolution, unlocking mysteries about the processes shaping worlds beyond our own. A paper detailing the planet and its discovery was recently published in The Astronomical Journal. Communications specialist Beth Johnson speaks with lead authors Melinda Soares-Furtado and Benjamin Capistrant about this amazing discovery and the implications for planetary formation studies.

No século 20, descobertas revolucionárias abalaram a visão estática do cosmos. A constatação da expansão contínua do universo desafia conceitos antigos, revelando a existência de energia e matéria escuras, enigmas cruciais na cosmologia. A inadequação das teorias atuais para explicar a expansão acelera do universo revela coisas fundamentais do espaço, tempo e gravidade, que não estamos percebendo, revelando um cosmos mais estranho e desconcertante do que imaginávamos. O que acontece nas entranhas do universo que explicariam esses fenômenos?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Planet X. Planet Nine. Nibiru. All are names given to the elusive planetary body believed by some to lurk in the outer, outer depths our our solar system. We have scientific data to suggest that some unseen entity is messing with the Kuiper belt. In 2015 Caltech hot shots identified at least give larger bodies in that belt behaving unusually. But why? Well, we're guessing that you've already seen the title to this episode… Is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Nibiru what school teachers will be teaching in school in the future? Founder of the ZetaTalk website Nancy Lieder certainly would be because aliens warned Nancy about Nibiru's upcoming passing, they they didn't seem entirely sure on the date. What Nancy seems to be clear on though is that Planet X/Nine/Nibiru is responsible for the earths pole shift. Another thing that may or may not be associated with Planet Nine is the Anunnaki - did the Annunaki visit ancient Sumerians, perhaps developing a slave race to mine before departing as their planet passed? Could Anunnaki input explain rapid advancements in human technology such as sandals? There may be evidence of this left behind even today. Alongside that, we ponder… How many points does Mr Moonwalker have, exactly? Can Colossus eat planets like Bray Wyatt and is Galactus metal? Oh and we also solve String Theory.

Il est notamment apparu qu'il existait un gap dans la taille de ces exoplanètes à 1,9 rayons terrestres, séparant les "superTerres" de rayon inférieur et les "miniNeptunes" de rayon supérieur. Des chercheurs chinois ont voulu savoir si les propriétés des étoiles pouvaient influer sur cet intervalle séparant les deux types de planètes. Ils publient leurs résultats dans The Astronomical Journal.

TIC 400799224 est un objet variable vraiment étrange. Ce couple d'étoiles situé à 725 pc a été découvert par hasard avec le télescope chasseur d'exoplanètes TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey) par une chute très rapide de luminosité de 25% en seulement quelques heures, suivie de plusieurs variations brutales. On pense aujourd'hui que quelque chose orbite l'une des deux étoiles en dégageant sporadiquement une énorme quantité de poussières, mais on se demande encore de quoi il peut s'agir, même si on a une première idée… L'étude est parue en décembre dernier dans The Astronomical Journal.

L'âge d'un grand nombre d'amas globulaires de la Voie Lactée est encore mal connu, la majorité des amas globulaires n'ont en fait pas de mesures d'âge cohérentes. Une équipe américaine vient d'évaluer l'âge de neuf amas globulaires qui sont situés à l'intérieur de notre galaxie. Ils déterminent un âge en relatif à d'autre amas globulaires dont les caractéristiques sont mieux connues. Ils trouvent pour les neuf amas étudiés un âge très élevé, en moyenne 12,9 milliards d'années. L'étude est parue dans The Astronomical Journal.

Une équipe d'astrophysiciens explore les 13 étoiles géantes qui ont la plus faible métallicité des Nuages de Magellan (LMC et SMC). Ils étudient ainsi les premières étapes de la formation de ces galaxies et de leur évolution chimique. Ils ont découvert que ces étoiles sont plus riches que celles de la Voie Lactée en europium, un élément clé de la nucléosynthèse par capture rapide de neutrons, le processus r. Les chercheurs parviennent alors à déterminer l'origine de ce processus. Une étude publiée dans The Astronomical Journal.

Des observations en infra-rouge avec le télescope spatial Spitzer et des télescopes terrestres dévoilent des naines brunes en rotation très rapide : jusqu'à 107 km/s au niveau de l'équateur : 10 fois plus que notre Jupiter, pour des objets de taille similaire mais dont la masse est entre 40 et 65 fois plus élevée. Une étude à paraître dans The Astronomical Journal.

Los sistemas múltiples de estrellas son bastante comunes en nuestra galaxia, pero cuantos más miembros estelares tengan, su rareza aumenta. Por ejemplo, los modelos teóricos y computacionales tienen problemas para demostrar cómo se forman estas familias de estrellas, cómo fueron sus etapas iniciales y cómo adquieren las características que hoy en día se observan en ellas. En esta ocasión, les hablo sobre un sistema de seis estrellas en las que todos sus miembros se eclipsan entre ellas. Es una agrupación bastante extraña y que ha tomado a los astrónomos por sorpresa.

VY Canis Majoris n'est pas une étoile géante, ni une supergéante, c'est une étoile hypergéante, l'une des étoiles les plus grandes que nous connaissons actuellement. A l'image de ce qui est arrivé à Bételgeuse l'année dernière, VY Canis Majoris a elle aussi connu des épisodes de brusque perte de luminosité suivis d'un retour à la normale, et on a finalement également compris leur origine.

The so-called Fast Radio Burst repeats every 157 days with the power of millions of suns and its latest barrage arrived right on time last week. Known as FRB 121102, scientists hope that studying the strange blinkering signal could unlock the secret to what FRBs are and where they come from. Fast Radio Bursts are intense pulses of radio waves that last no longer than the blink of an eye and come from far beyond our Milky Way galaxy. Their origins are unknown. Some think the energetic waves are the result of cosmic explosions, while others reckon they're signals sent by aliens. More than 100 FRBs have been discovered to date, but only a handful have repeated and fewer still in a predictable pattern. Recurring bursts give scientists rare chances to study the origins of FRBs. FRB 121102 is one of only two FRBs known to regularly repeat and its cycle was described for the first time by British scientists earlier this year. Astronomers traced its origins to a star-forming region in a dwarf galaxy three billion light-years away. During its cycle, bursts of milliseconds-long signals are emitted for 90 days before a quiet period lasting 67 days, for a total loop length of 157 days. According to their paper, FRB 121102's active phase is due to end between 31 August and 9 September 2020. If telescopes continue to pick up bursts beyond these dates, then either its predictable pattern does not exist or has somehow evolved, they said. Does Astronomy Need Humans? An Algorithm Just Discovered 50 New Alien Planets And May Find Many More Link: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2020/08/25/does-astronomy-need-humans-an-algorithm-just-discovered-50-new-alien-planets-and-may-find-many-more/#64a46111fdce A new “machine learning” algorithm has confirmed the existence of 50 new exoplanets in data collected by NASA's ground-breaking Kepler mission. Although algorithms have for long been used to comb through the huge amounts of data from telescopes in the hunt for signs of planets, this is the first time that astronomers have used an algorithm based on “machine learning.” There are currently 4,201 confirmed exoplanets, though probably billions more to discover in the Milky Way alone. Some lurk in data collected years ago—as is the case with this new discovery. Machine learning is a form of artificial intelligence. It's about automating repetitive tasks, essentially training a computer to recognise patterns and categorise data without any input from humans. The example often given is that of photographs of cats and dogs. A computer program is given millions of images categorized as either cat or dog and the program then learns to identify them automatically; it creates a neural network. How was machine learning used? In this case, the algorithm was trained to recognise real planets using two large samples of confirmed planets and “false positives”—fake planets—from NASA's now retired Kepler mission. “The algorithm we have developed lets us take fifty candidates across the threshold for planet validation, upgrading them to real planets,” said lead author Dr. David Armstrong from the University of Warwick Department of Physics. “We hope to apply this technique to large samples of candidates from current and future missions like TESS and PLATO.” What are the 50 planets like? The 50 planets found using this new technique cover the entire gamut from smaller-than-Earth and likely rocky planets to Neptune-sized gas giants. Orbits range from as long as 200 days to just a day. Rogue Planets That Float in Space Without Orbiting a Sun Could Outnumber the Stars Link: https://scitechdaily.com/rogue-planets-that-float-in-space-without-orbiting-a-sun-could-outnumber-the-stars/ Upcoming NASA mission will search for planets in the Milky Way without their own sun. An upcoming NASA mission could find that there are more rogue planets — planets that float in space without orbiting a sun — than there are stars in the Milky Way, a new study theorizes. “This gives us a window into these worlds that we would otherwise not have,” said Samson Johnson, an astronomy graduate student at The Ohio State University and lead author of the study. “Imagine our little rocky planet just floating freely in space — that's what this mission will help us find.” The study was published today in the Astronomical Journal. The study calculated that NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could find hundreds of rogue planets in the Milky Way. Identifying those planets, Johnson said, will help scientists infer the total number of rogue planets in our galaxy. “The universe could be teeming with rogue planets and we wouldn't even know it,” said Scott Gaudi, a professor of astronomy and distinguished university scholar at Ohio State and a co-author of the paper. “We would never find out without undertaking a thorough, space-based microlensing survey like Roman is going to do.” The Nibiru cataclysm is a supposed disastrous encounter between the Earth and a large planetary object (either a collision or a near-miss) that certain groups believed would take place in the early 21st century. Believers in this doomsday event usually refer to this object as Nibiru or Planet X. The idea was first put forward in 1995 by Nancy Lieder,[2][3] founder of the website ZetaTalk. Lieder describes herself as a contactee with the ability to receive messages from extraterrestrials from the Zeta Reticuli star system through an implant in her brain. She states that she was chosen to warn mankind that the object would sweep through the inner Solar System in May 2003 (though that date was later postponed) causing Earth to undergo a physical pole shift that would destroy most of humanity.[4] Show Stuff Join the episode after party on Discord!

Beatriz Villarroel of Stockholm University in Sweden is one of the authors of a recent study published in The Astronomical Journal about the discovery of a hundred or so blinking lights in space as well as number of vanishing and reappearing objects spotted among the stars which are puzzling researchers.

Weird ‘Vanishing Stars' Could Potentially Be Aliens, Study Claims Link: https://gizmodo.com/weird-vanishing-stars-could-potentially-be-aliens-st-1840486666 A comparative analysis of historical and contemporary astronomical data has resulted in the discovery of approximately 100 star-like objects that unexpectedly vanished. These strange occurrences are likely natural, but scientists say alien technology is a remote possibility. They start off as dim red dots in the night sky. But then they start to get brighter—anywhere from several to thousands of times brighter. And then they disappear, vanishing from sight in typically less than an hour. New research published in the Astronomical Journal calls them “red transients,” of which roughly 100 have been chronicled by the authors, a team led by Beatriz Villarroel from Stockholm University and the Institute of Astrophysics of Canarias in Spain. More colloquially, they're referred to as “vanishing stars,” and they're baffling scientists. The red transients were detected thanks to Vanishing & Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations (VASCO)—a project that's living up to its name. Established in 2017, VASCO researchers are hunting for objects outside of Earth's immediate area that have mysteriously disappeared. As the authors note in the study: Unless a star collapses directly into a black hole, there is no known physical process by which it could physically vanish. If such examples exist this makes it interesting for searches for new exotic phenomena or even signs of technologically advanced civilizations. From a pool of 600 million objects, the scientists found 151,193 that weren't represented in the modern catalogs. To date, Villarroel and her colleagues have only had a chance to analyze 23,667 of these anomalous objects, or just 15.7 percent. Taking this preliminary sample set aside and studying them closer, the researchers found most of them to be “artifacts of various sorts,” wrote the authors, such as smudges on lenses and other visual defects. Fascinatingly, the researchers devoted significant space in the new study for a more radical possibility: the activities of extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI). As the authors speculate, the dots of red light could be powerful lasers used for interstellar communication or heat waste emanating from Dyson spheres—hypothetical megastructures that envelop entire stars. “But we are clear that none of these events have shown any direct signs of being ETI,” said Martin López Corredoira, a co-author of the paper, in a press release. “We believe that they are natural, if somewhat extreme, astrophysical sources.” Aliens are out there: Astronomer has 'little doubt' we are not alone in the universe Link: https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1217657/Aliens-news-alien-life-out-there-astronomer-little-doubt-we-are-not-alone-universe In 2020, NASA will launch a Mars rover to the Red Planet to trawl the alien world for evidence of past life. And projects like SETI or the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence are continuously listening to the night skies for signs of contact. Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock is one of the scientists who have very “little doubt” humans are not the only intelligent life to call this cosmos home. The space scientist told The Guardian the numbers are stacked in favour of a diverse universe. Dr Aderin-Pocock said: “I sometimes wonder where the aliens are, but I have little doubt that they're out there. It's the numbers game. “There are just too many planets, galaxies, solar systems, moons and stars to think there can't be more life. “I think though that there's a great many variables that would need to happen to result in us making contact. “Maybe they came in the age of the dinosaurs and left because they had no one to communicate with. “I actually think that aliens arriving would be brilliant for us. Us putting aside our differences and getting our act together to face invading aliens might finally unite humanity.” But Dr Aderin-Pocock is not the only prominent figure in the field of space science who believes aliens are real. Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins famously argued in 1999 against the hubris of assuming humans are alone in space. He told the New York Daily News: “It seems to me the height of arrogance to say that our little stupid Sun off in one obscure corner of an odd galaxy called the Milky Way should be the only one in the whole universe capable of developing what we sometimes refer to as intelligent life.” Show Stuff The Dark Horde, LLC – http://www.thedarkhorde.com Twitter @DarkHorde or https://twitter.com/HordeDark TeePublic Store - Get your UBR goodies today! http://tee.pub/lic/2GQuXxn79dg UBR Truth Seekers Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/216706068856746 UFO Buster Radio: https://www.facebook.com/UFOBusterRadio YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCggl8-aPBDo7wXJQ43TiluA To contact Manny: manny@ufobusterradio.com, or on Twitter @ufobusterradio Call the show anytime at (972) 290-1329 and leave us a message with your point of view, UFO sighting, and ghostly experiences or join the discussion on www.ufobusterradio.com For Skype Users: bosscrawler

As the authors speculate, the dots of red light could be powerful lasers used for interstellar communication or heat waste emanating from Dyson spheres—hypothetical megastructures that envelop entire stars. “But we are clear that none of these events have shown any direct signs of being ETI,” said Martin López Corredoira, a co-author of the paper, in a press release. “We believe that they are natural, if somewhat extreme, astrophysical sources.” Aliens are out there: Astronomer has 'little doubt' we are not alone in the universe Link: https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1217657/Aliens-news-alien-life-out-there-astronomer-little-doubt-we-are-not-alone-universe In 2020, NASA will launch a Mars rover to the Red Planet to trawl the alien world for evidence of past life. And projects like SETI or the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence are continuously listening to the night skies for signs of contact. Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock is one of the scientists who have very “little doubt” humans are not the only intelligent life to call this cosmos home. The space scientist told The Guardian the numbers are stacked in favour of a diverse universe. Dr Aderin-Pocock said: “I sometimes wonder where the aliens are, but I have little doubt that they're out there. It's the numbers game. “There are just too many planets, galaxies, solar systems, moons and stars to think there can't be more life. “I think though that there's a great many variables that would need to happen to result in us making contact. “Maybe they came in the age of the dinosaurs and left because they had no one to communicate with. “I actually think that aliens arriving would be brilliant for us. Us putting aside our differences and getting our act together to face invading aliens might finally unite humanity.” But Dr Aderin-Pocock is not the only prominent figure in the field of space science who believes aliens are real. Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins famously argued in 1999 against the hubris of assuming humans are alone in space. He told the New York Daily News: “It seems to me the height of arrogance to say that our little stupid Sun off in one obscure corner of an odd galaxy called the Milky Way should be the only one in the whole universe capable of developing what we sometimes refer to as intelligent life.” Show Stuff The Dark Horde, LLC – http://www.thedarkhorde.com Twitter @DarkHorde or https://twitter.com/HordeDark TeePublic Store - Get your UBR goodies today! http://tee.pub/lic/2GQuXxn79dg UBR Truth Seekers Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/216706068856746 UFO Buster Radio: https://www.facebook.com/UFOBusterRadio YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCggl8-aPBDo7wXJQ43TiluA To contact Manny: manny@ufobusterradio.com, or on Twitter @ufobusterradio Call the show anytime at (972) 290-1329 and leave us a message with your point of view, UFO sighting, and ghostly experiences or join the discussion on www.ufobusterradio.com For Skype Users: bosscrawler

Mieux que la Tatooine de George Lucas et ses deux soleils, c'est aujourd'hui un système planétaire constitué de trois étoiles, des naines rouges, qui vient d'être révélé dans The Astronomical Journal par une grande collaboration américano-européenne. C'est au télescope spatial TESS que l'on doit cette découverte.

Alien civilizations may have explored the Milky Way and visited Earth already, new study claims Link: https://www.foxnews.com/science/alien-civilizations-explored-milky-way-earth-already Our Milky Way galaxy could be filled with alien civilizations, a new study claims, but we don't know because they haven't stopped by Earth for a visit in millions of years. According to a study published last month in The Astronomical Journal, extraterrestrial life might be taking its time to fully explore the galaxy, even using the movement of star systems to make this type of journey easier. The scientists' work is the latest response to what's known as the Fermi paradox, which wonders why we have yet to detect signs of alien life. Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi famously said something to the effect of, "But where is everybody?" in reference to the possibility of star-hopping space aliens. The new study claims the aliens may just be taking their time and being strategic. "If you don't account for motion of stars when you try to solve this problem, you're basically left with one of two solutions," Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback, a computational scientist and the study's lead author, told Business Insider. "Either nobody leaves their planet, or we are in fact the only technological civilization in the galaxy." Stars, along with the planets around them, orbit the center of the Milky Way on unique paths at varying speeds, and they sometimes zip past one another as they do, Business Insider reports. Carroll-Nellenback's study points out that the aliens could simply be waiting for their next destination to come closer to them.

The speculative equation considers the rate of star formation in the galaxy; the fraction of stars with planets and the number per star that are habitable; the fraction of those planets that develop life; the fraction that develop intelligent life; the fraction that have detectable, technological intelligent life; and finally the length of time such communicable civilizations are detectable. The fundamental problem is that the last four terms are completely unknown, rendering statistical estimates impossible.

La réflectivité des nuages de la haute atmosphère de Vénus subit des variations très importantes, c'est ce qu'une équipe d'astrophysiciens vient de montrer grâce à de multiples observations de Vénus effectuées durant plus de 10 ans. La zone absorbante, toujours d'origine inconnue, produit une variation d'albédo qui influe très fortement sur la météo de Vénus. Une étude parue hier dans The Astronomical Journal.

77 kelvins, soit 77 degrés au dessus du zéro absolu, c'est la température de l'anneau principal d'Uranus qui vient d'être mesurée pour la première fois grâce à la détection de son émission infra-rouge par ALMA. Une étude américano-britannique à paraître dans The Astronomical Journal.

Smart aliens might live within 33,000 light-years of Earth. A new study explains why we haven't found them yet. Article Link: https://www.businessinsider.com/alien-signals-search-for-extraterrestrial-intelligence-study-2018-10 ---The universe has so many galaxies, stars, planets, and moons that many scientists believe intelligent aliens should exist within detectable range of Earth. ---Still, human searches for extraterrestrial intelligence have yet to detect any alien signal or "technosignature." ---A new study suggests this may be because we've searched just 0.00000000000000058% of a "cosmic haystack" in our hunt for an alien "needle." ---There's no guarantee that exhaustive searches would ever find aliens, though The cosmos almost screams with the possibility of intelligent alien life. Hundreds of billions of galaxies drift through the visible universe, each one harboring hundreds of billions of stars, and each of those stars in turn shelters roughly a handful of planets. Even if the trillion-or-so planets in every galaxy aren't habitable, countless water-rich moons orbiting these lifeless worlds might be. A study in The Astronomical Journal, which we learned about from MIT Technology Review, suggests humanity has barely sampled the skies and thus has no grounds to be cynical. According to the paper, all searches for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI, have examined barely a swimming pool's worth of water from a figurative ocean of signal space. Aside from a few anomaly signals that never repeated (like the "Wow!" detection of 1977), these searches have turned up empty-handed.

2018 RubADickies - Vote at ufobusterradio.com November 10th through November 30th. http://ufobusterradio.com/2018-rubadickies NASA's InSight Mars Lander Touches Down 1 Week from Today! Article Link: https://www.space.com/42473-insight-mars-landing-one-week-away.html NASA's $850 million InSight lander will arrive at the Red Planet on the afternoon of Nov. 26. InSight will investigate Mars' interior, so mission team members don't much care about interesting surface features.  InSight will do its science work with two main instruments — a burrowing heat probe and a suite of supersensitive seismometers. The data gathered by this gear will reveal a great deal about Mars' internal structure and composition, mission team members have said. In addition, mission scientists will use InSight's communications equipment to track the slight wobble of Mars' rotational axis. This information should provide key insights about the planet's core. Why a new discovery in outer space means humans should keep an 'open mind' about extraterrestrial life Article link: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/17/oumuamua-why-humans-should-be-open-minded-about-life-in-outer-space.html ---Scientists in Hawaii have detected "Oumuamua," an object entering our solar system from the outside. ---This has likely occurred before, but we've never had the capability of detecting it from earth. ---Some experts say the possibility that it could have been deliberately sent by another life form cannot be ruled out. In October 2017, an elongated interstellar object named "Oumuamua" — the first to enter the solar system — was detected by a survey telescope in Hawaii. A new study published this week in the Astronomical Journal, coauthored by scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, uncovered new information that suggested there was a limit to how big Oumuamua actually is, and gave astronomers a better indication of its size. So does the appearance of Oumuamua mean the elusive "E.T" has finally been detected? "I personally think the odds are much better that is something natural, but I don't want to dismiss the possibility that it could be from an alien civilization. But we have to have an open mind," Michael Wall, a writer at Space.com and a biologist, told CNBC recently. But scientists' biggest unanswered question is the object's thickness. As far as the scientific community is aware, there is no naturally occurring object that is as big as Oumuamua that appears so thin at the same time, increasing the likelihood that it was created by another life form. "Unless a miracle has occurred, these are entering our solar system all the time. This is just the first one we've found," Seth Shostak, a SETI research fellow said. He acknowledged the alien hypothesis was plausible, adding that Oumuamua acted more like a rock than a spaceship.

Sterrekundiges by die Kalifornië Instituut vir Tegnologie sê hulle het bewyse van 'n nuwe planeet met 'n massa ongeveer tien keer die aarde s'n. Die verslag is in die Astronomical Journal gepubliseer, en hoewel die planeet nog nie werklik waargeneem is nie, is die skrywers van die verslag, sterrekundiges Micheal Brown en Konstantin Batygin, oortuig van sy bestaan, berig Joan-Marie Verhoef .
