Winston Churchill believed in extraterrestrials
Winston Churchill believed in extraterrestrials
As World War II ravaged on, the likelihood of life on other planets was also on Churchill’s mind, a newly released essay reveals.
By KIMIKO DE FREYTAS-TAMURAThe New York Times
LONDON—Even as he was preparing for the biggest struggle of his life, leading Britain in its fight against Nazi Germany, Winston Churchill had something else on his mind: extraterrestrials.
In a newly unearthed essay sent to his publisher on Oct. 16, 1939 — just weeks after Britain entered World War II and Churchill became part of the wartime Cabinet — and later revised, he was pondering the likelihood of life on other planets.
Churchill, who went on to become prime minister during much of World War II and again from 1951 to 1955, was so enthralled by the subject that he even ordered a suspected sighting of an unidentified flying object by the Royal Air Force to be kept a secret for 50 years to avoid “mass panic.”
In an 11-page essay titled “Are We Alone in the Universe?” the statesman showed powers of reason “like a scientist,” said Mario Livio, an astrophysicist who read the rarely seen draft and wrote about it in an article published recently in Nature magazine.
“The most amazing thing is that he started this essay when Europe was on the brink of war and there he is, musing about a question about a scientific topic that is really a question out of curiosity,” he said in an interview.
Churchill first defines what life is, then details the requirements for life to exist and progressively expands his reasoning to the existence of life in other solar systems, Livio said. “He’s really thinking about this,’’ Livio said, “and though he didn’t have all the knowledge at hand, he thinks about this with the logic of a scientist.”
Churchill’s interest in science stemmed from his early years as an army officer in British-ruled India, where he had crates of books, including Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species,” shipped to him by his mother.
He later became friends, at least for a time, with the writer H.G. Wells, whose hugely popular “The War of the Worlds,” about Martians invading Britain, was broadcast in 1938 — a year before Churchill wrote his article. (Churchill once said Wells’ “The Time Machine” was one of the books he would like to take with him to purgatory.)
Churchill argued that it was probable that extraterrestrial life existed somewhere in the universe. This was years before Frank Drake, the U.S. astronomer and astrophysicist, presented in 1961 his theory about the number of communicative civilizations in the cosmos. “It is astonishing that Churchill wasn’t a scientist and yet he showed such an interest in science,” Livio said.
The manuscript was passed on to the National Churchill Museum in Fulton, Missouri, the site of Churchill’s famed 1946 Iron Curtain speech, in the 1980s by Wendy Reves, the wife of Churchill’s publisher, Emery Reves. It had been overlooked for years until Timothy Riley, who became the museum’s director last year, stumbled upon it recently. Soon after news of the discovery, two other copies were found in a separate archive in Britain.
Although the article was sent to Reves in 1939, it was not published. Churchill had revised it a number of times in the 1950s.
Largely self-educated in the sciences, Churchill had boundless curiosity for practically anything, an attitude he once described as “picking up a few things as I went along.”
He wrote about 30 million words in his lifetime, including wartime speeches, an African travelogue, a book on oil painting, a lengthy memoir, and even an essay on an imagined invasion of Russia when he was just 15. For his body of work, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953.
Welding an active imagination with scientific thought, Churchill produced a few madcap ideas — which he called “funnies” — that he actually championed while he was prime minister, as a means to defeat Nazi Germany.
There was Operation Habakkuk, an imagined fleet of aircraft carriers made from wood pulp and ice to fight German U-boats in the mid-Atlantic. Then there was the Great Panjandrum, an enormous, rocket-propelled wheel packed with explosives. Churchill even invented a green velvet “siren suit” to be put on in a hurry during air raids.
While none of these ideas came into being (the giant wheel having run amok in the testing stage), science was not just a hobby for Churchill.
He was the first prime minister to hire a science adviser. Frederick Lindemann, a physicist, became Churchill’s “on tap” expert and once described him as a “scientist who had missed his vocation,” said Andrew Nahum, who curated an exhibition on Churchill and science at the Science Museum in London.
Churchill also met regularly with scientists such as Bernard Lovell, the father of radio astronomy and the Lovell telescope.
“Churchill presided over a culture that encouraged technological development,” Nahum said. He had such a genuine interest in science, he added, that as chancellor of the Exchequer in prewar Britain, he complained to a friend of having to draft the budget instead of reading a book on quantum physics.
During World War I, when he was lord of the admiralty and later secretary of state for air and war, he encouraged military aviation, chemical warfare and tanks. During World War II, which he called in his memoirs “The Wizard War,” he supported the development of radar, rockets and Britain’s nuclear program.
Churchill founded in 1958 the British equivalent of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at Cambridge — Churchill College — which has since produced 32 Nobel Prize winners.
In the interwar period, Churchill wrote numerous scientific articles, including one called “Death Rays” and another titled “Are there Men on the Moon?” In 1924, he published a text asking readers “Shall We All Commit Suicide?”, in which he speculated that technological advances could lead to the creation of a small bomb that was powerful enough to destroy an entire town.
Churchill had a “natural curiosity and general optimism about life,” Riley said. He had “a willingness to see technical and scientific advances improve not only his immediate world or his country, but the world.”

Planets, planets everywhere
Planets, planets everywhere
One possibly habitable planet is already known to exist near Earth. Many more will soon be found
Tim Cross
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Science-fiction writers have been dreaming up alien planets for decades. That other suns should have planets of their own was a reasonable enough speculation. But science had to wait until 1992 for proof that such planets did exist, when two were detected around a pulsar called PSR B1257+12. A steady trickle of discoveries followed. These days that trickle has become a flood. Thanks to a combination of ground-based telescopes and planet-hunting satellites, particularly one called Kepler which was launched in 2009, more than 3,500 such worlds are known.
Unlike their depiction in fiction, reasonably few are much like Earth. Many are gas giants, like Jupiter, whose gravitational pull on their host stars makes them easy to detect. Others orbit dim stars, or super-bright ones. Most are too hot or too cold for life. And almost all are far, far away. Kepler, which has discovered the lion’s share of these planets, is staring at a patch of space covering about 1/400th of the celestial sphere.
From 2017, though, that will change. In December a successor to Kepler, called TESS (for Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite), will be launched into orbit. It is designed to survey the entire sky, looking for the sorts of exoplanets that are of most interest to humans—ones that are small (like Earth), rocky (like Earth) and relatively close by.
Over its planned two-year life TESS will scan hundreds of thousands of nearby stars, looking for the telltale dips in their brightness as planets cross them (as seen from Earth). Indeed, Kepler has gathered enough statistical information about how common planets are in the galaxy for astronomers to make a reasonable guess of how many Earth-like planets TESS should find. Assuming Earth’s galactic neighbourhood is average, the new satellite should spot about 3,000 planets in total. About 500 of those should have radii up to twice that of Earth’s; of those, perhaps a few dozen will orbit in the “habitable zone”, where liquid water could exist on their surfaces.
Kepler’s planets are too far away for scientists to learn much about them beyond their rough size and the length of their orbits. Being much closer, the planets TESS turns up will be easier to scrutinise. A new generation of giant telescopes, including the European Extremely Large Telescope, currently being built in Chile, and the James Webb Space Telescope, a successor to the Hubble that is due to be launched in 2018, should have the power to provide intriguing details.
By zeroing in on starlight that has passed through the planets’ atmospheres, scientists hope to learn about the chemical composition of the alien air, including the presence of any chemicals (such as free oxygen or large amounts of methane) that could be telltales of life. If the planets are close enough astronomers may be able to take pictures of them directly. Via painstaking computer modelling, it could even be possible to infer basic geographical features, such as what proportion of a planet’s surface is liquid or solid. Early trials of the technique, using pictures of Earth taken by distant space probes, have been promising.
The ultimate question is whether humans might one day send probes to a nearby exoplanet. In August 2016 scientists announced the discovery of an Earth-like planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, which, at 4.25 light-years away, is the closest star to the Sun. Yuri Milner, a Russian billionaire and physicist (see next story), is already working with Stephen Hawking, a British theoretical physicist, on plans for a tiny, laser-propelled probe that could cover that distance in about 20 years. It is far from certain that they will succeed. But, in the meantime, TESSshould give them a comprehensive list of targets. Science fiction is about to get a tiny step closer.
He was found dead on a sofa while staying at Monika Duval’s home during a trip to Poland.
Now cops want to speak to the science fiction writer who was present at the time of his death and called the ambulance.

MYSTERY: Max Spiers died after vomiting two litres of black fluid
Warsaw prosecutor Lukasz Lapczynski said the nature of the relationship between Mr Spiers and Ms Duval remains unclear.
He told the BBC: “The nature of this relationship will be determined during the investigation.
"The doctor started resuscitation which was not successful. As a result of the doctor's decision, the police weren't involved in conducting additional procedures.”
The prosecutor said he plans to interview everyone who was present when Mr Spiers died.

UFOs: Max Spiers claimed to have information on government cover-ups
“The nature of this relationship will be determined during the investigation”
Lukasz Lapczynski
The dad-of-two, from Canterbury in Kent, had travelled to Poland to talk about conspiracy theories and UFOs.
But his mum Vanessa Bates, 63, believes there may have been people who wanted him dead.
Just before his death he texted her: “Your boy’s in trouble. If anything happens to me, investigate.”
His girlfriend Sarah Adams, 31, believed he was being held against his will and was bombarded with death threats days before he died.
Mr Lapczynski continued: "The information about Max Spiers' death reached the prosecution office on August 30 when the body had already been transported to the UK.
“We couldn't do a post-mortem which is essential in such cases.”
An inquest into Mr Spiers’ death was opened in Kent in December and is set to continue later this year.
Ghost rockets, rocket- or missile-shaped unidentified flying objects (UFOs), were first sighted on February 26, 1946, mostly in Sweden and nearby countries.
More than 2000 sightings were recorded between May and December of the same year, with an increased amount of sightings in mid-August 1946.
The origin of these ghost rockets was never fully revealed. Some investigations attributed the sightings to meteor showers, making special note that the August peak coincided with such events. But most ghost rocket sightings did not occur during meteor shower activity and, moreover, displayed characteristics inconsistent with meteors, such as reported maneuverability.
A 1946 Swedish newspaper photo of such sightings
Other theories attributed the origin of the ghost rockets to former German rocket facility at Peenemünde. Such theories claimed the rockets were long-range tests by the Russians of captured German V-1 or V-2 missiles, or perhaps early form cruise missiles because of the ways they were sometimes seen to maneuver.
These missile theories prompted the Swedish military to investigate. Some investigators for the Swedish military apparently believed the objects could not be conventionally explained, and instead hypothesized an extraterrestrial origin.
The missiles were often reported as having crashed into lakes, yet no missile fragments were found in lakes. For example, on July 19, 1946, a ghost rocket was reported as having crashed into Lake Kölmjärv in Sweden. Witnesses saw a gray, rocket-shaped object with wings crashing in the lake with a noise that suggested the object had exploded. However, a three-week military search conducted in intense secrecy, again turned up no evidence of a craft, only impact at the bottom of the lake.
The Swedish Air Force officer who led the search, Karl-Gösta Bartoll (see photo of him on the search), reported back to the military that the rockets were most likely made of material that would disintegrate quickly in water. A craft built of such material, which would also have to be capable of traveling at top speeds while carrying progressive equipment for maneuverability, would be considered extremely advanced and expensive in terms of 1946 technology.
In a 1984 interview, Bartoll reiterated his material belief and said "what people saw were real, physical objects” in opposition to ideas that such sightings were delusions or sci-fi fodder.
While largely in Sweden, Portugal, Greece, Belgium, and Italy, all reported similar ghost rocket sightings in 1946.
The United States military was also involved in investigations. A US document declassified in 1997 states, "we are inclined not to discredit entirely this somewhat spectacular theory [extraterrestrial origins], meantime keeping an open mind on the subject."
Max Spiers vomited two litres of black liquid before his death
The science fiction writer girlfriend of a British conspiracy theorist is to be quizzed about his death.
Max Spiers, 39, sought to expose government cover-ups and investigated UFO sightings — after, his mum says, he saw "the darker side" as a child.
The dad-of-two, from Canterbury, Kent, visited Poland to speak at a conference before he died at partner Monika Duval's home 24 hours later in July 2016.
He vomited two litres of a black fluid before he died, his inquest heard in December.
Involuntary manslaughter
Now prosecutors have opened an investigation into involuntary manslaughter and want to speak to his girlfriend, who was present at the time of Mr Spiers's death.
Lukasz Lapczynski, prosecutor in Warsaw, said: "At this stage we have determined that the ambulance arrived at the request of Mr Spiers's partner.
"Our initial investigation indicates that it was Mr Spiers's partner [who called the ambulance], but the nature of this relationship is unclear."
Facebook
Speaking to the BBC, he added: "The nature of this relationship will be determined during the investigation.
"The doctor started resuscitation which was not successful. As a result of the doctor's decision, the police weren't involved in conducting additional procedures.
"The information about Max Spiers's death reached the prosecution office on August 30 when the body had already been transported to the UK. We couldn't do a post-mortem which is essential in such cases.
"The prosecutor told me he plans to interview everyone that was present when Max died. We know Monika was there, but it's unclear who else was around."
When the conspiracy theorist's body was transported to the UK, his laptop and phone weren't among his belongings.
His mum Vanessa Bates said science fiction writer Monika sent the valuables a few weeks later but there was no Sim card in the phone.
'Somebody had wiped everything'
She added: "There was nothing on the computer at all. Somebody had clearly, definitely wiped everything off it.
"It makes no sense to wipe somebody's computer, no sense to me."
Ms Bates, who had previously stated she believed her son was "murdered by enemies", added: "I spoke to Monika for probably a couple of weeks [since Mr Spiers's death]. She was kind, she lived in a lovely house.
"She said to Max 'Come stay here for a while, I've got a couple of good business things that we can get going'.
"I don't know what happened, but I know there's been a lot of people suggesting a lot of things and pointing a lot of fingers in her direction, and I'm sure that she wants to go very quiet."
Mr Spiers's inquest opened in December and continues later this year.

Earth Size UFO Near Our Sun On Feb 25, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Earth Size UFO Near Our Sun On Feb 25, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: February 25, 2017 Location of sighting: Sun This UFO was found by UFOnearSun of Youtube and shows and Earth size craft near our sun. These photo are all taken by NASA and SOHO agencies, so they cannot be disputed. I will include a note in the comments below this post. Eyewitness states:
The size of the UFO - Sphere commensurate with the size of the planet Earth! Incredibly Huge UFO - Sphere and other UFO near the Sun - February 25, 2017
I watched a documentary a couple of years ago about what happens inside the belly of a mother the 9 months before the baby is born. However, the first 10 minutes of the documentary, that described the journey of the spermatozoid which will win “the race of its life” I was in awe. I got inspired, and exactly that inspiration led me to create this article.
Most of us live our lives unaware of all the incredible (almost impossible) things that happened so we can be born. Many of us even feel worthless. The majority cannot sleep at night stressing about some absolutely artificial problem that they may not even have. We live with so much unhappiness, worry, racing, fighting and killing each other for scoring on an artificial scoreboard. Some even try or commit suicide.
We forget that we already won the race. We won life. This is the price here and we spend it like we are still fighting for something. That’s why I decided to create an article with all (at least I’ll try to add all) the FREAKISHLY “random” events which took place so you can exist. To remind you how much you matter. THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!
THIS IS YOUR REAL ORIGIN STORY:
LET THERE BE LIGHT…
Long, long time ago (and I mean really long, this is not a fairy tale), long like 13,7 billion years ago, there was only darkness. Suddenly, a spark of light smaller than an atom entered this darkness and tada, The Universe was born.
This light and the darkness, entangled in an eternal dance, created the 4 fundamental forces of The Universe (Gravity, Electromagnetism, Weak and Strong). The Universe started expanding and very soon the first quarks were created. Then the first electrons, the first protons, and all of this happened in the first second, like literally.
After the first second, things didn’t change much for quite a while (380,000 years to be exact). The Universe just kept expanding and slowly cooling down. The Universe was TOO HOT in the beginning (no pun intended) for atoms to form.
After 380,000 years loose electrons cooled enough so they can combine with protons and form atoms. (“Produce An Atom” Achievement Unlocked). These were mainly Helium and Hydrogen, and a new era of “nothing really happening” began. This era lasted longer than the first one.
1.6 million years later, gravity began to form stars and galaxies from clouds of gas. Here things STARted to get a little more interesting.
As new stars formed and others were dying out The Universe looked like a Fireworks show (or a Michael Bay movie); with explosions and UNBELIEVABLE amounts of energy blowing up, and crumbling down, creating new sources of light and destroying anything in its way. Stars were blowing up in supernovas giving birth to new stars who lived, died and blew up and gave birth to other stars, and so on, and so on. This chaotic battleground lasted for almost 200 million years.
After 200 million years the first black holes were formed and because of Gravity the first galaxies were created.
It’s MINDBLOWINGLY amazing to think that even 1 single star forming too early or too soon could have prevented the existence of our entire Solar System. 1 single star from trillions and trillions that existed and still exist. Each one of them lived and gave their life in a way so our galaxy can exist. Like perfectly arranged dominos, or gears inside the most expensive clock.
This precise domino effect lasted “brief” 9 billion years resulting with a giant molecular cloud from which you, your parents, every plant, animal, and being that ever existed on this planet came to be. With a gravitational collapse of just a tiny part of this molecular cloud, the sun, the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed , creating the system today famously known as Our Solar System (“The Birth Of The Solar System” Achievement Unlocked).
In order for life to exist and thrive inside our solar system a planet needs to orbit the sun at just the right distance. Scientists call this belt “The Goldilocks Zone” were the conditions for life are just perfect. Guess what! Our home planet Earth formed EXACTLY inside this zone.
Like that’s not miraculous enough, our moon formed to be exactly in the right place so it would not conflict the evolution of life but help it thrive. When I say exactly, I mean EXACTLY and in an absolutely perfect ratio; not just with its distance but with its size too;
(Really Interesting Fact: What makes a full solar eclipse possible is that the sun is 400 times the size of the moon, and the sun is also 400 times further from the moon than the moon is from earth. The distance between the moon and the earth is equivalent to 108 moons; the distance from the earth to the sun is equivalent to 108 suns; the radius of the sun is equivalent to 108 earths;
LET THERE BE LIFE…
Everything until now fits perfectly to allow life on earth. The earth started cooling down and the oceans started forming. First life on earth was created 10 billion years after The Big Bang initially with single-celled prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria.
After a couple of million years, life evolved into the first multicelled organisms. Life inside the oceans thrived. Trilobites came into existence, Nautiloids and BOOM!
The planet experienced its first mass extinction event (it was formatted).
Many life forms were extinct. However, some life forms prevailed; the strongest and most adaptable ones.
13 billion years after the big bang the first fishes formed on planet earth. Soon after, the first insects, the first life that walked the earth. Things were going great for planet earth and its inhabitants, life just recovered from the disaster and started thriving again. BOOM!
The second mass extinction event wiped out most of the life on earth. This was the closest earth came to being wiped out of all its life. For a couple of million years, the earth could have been called a dead planet. However, few of the strongest species survived.
Things were tough, but what was left alive on this planet was tougher. In the midst of the disaster life decided to thrive, to explore new frontiers. Life crawled its way out of the oceans and into the beautiful lands. The frogs, snakes, first primitive dragonflies, all of them were the first courageous explorers of the lands. They made the ever moving continents their permanent home.
After 120 million years of peace, sunshine and rainbows, the planet was struck with its third mass extinction event. This mass extinction wiped out most of the species, however, it paved the way for the movie Jurassic Park to be created (and the first dinosaurs too).
And then BOOM! Like something was against life thriving, a fourth mass extinction event wiped most of the dinosaurs. However, life was more stubborn. This event started the Jurassic era. Life did not just thrive, but it surpassed its limits with the first birds conquering the skies.
The dinosaurs ruled the earth for a couple of million years. They were the big and scary predators that everybody feared. The world was theirs.
Far away, in the vastness of our galaxy, a star blew up in a supernova. This event started a chain of events that blasted meteors in a course collision with a giant asteroid. The meteors hit the asteroid steering it away from its course into a new one. A course that will change the history of the earth forever. A course that will pave the way for the first humans.
It was a normal day for the dinosaurs. They went on doing what they were always doing, hunting smaller animals and ruling the earth. However, they had no idea what’s shining brighter and brighter upon the sky. It was their demise. BOOM!
The earth was struck by its fifth mass extinction event, the giant asteroid. The blast itself wiped out most of the dinosaurs. The drought and the ice age finished them.
Smaller animals were smart enough to hide inside the earth. They survived the ice age. When they came out after a couple of million years, they saw that the mighty rulers, the big and scary dinosaurs were no longer there.
SO IT BEGAN, THE ERA OF MAMMALS.
Now, I don’t know if you know, but ice ages come and go. This period we live in right now, since the last big ice age that wiped out the dinosaurs, is a time of intermission between ice ages. Scientists say it will last for about 50,000 years more (which is kind of good news).
It happened so, that the asteroid which hit the earth created a global shift in the climate and wiped out the scary “monsters” just so life can keep evolving (without being eaten every time it tried).
The first Homosapiens evolved from years and years of animals migrating, hunting, surviving and passing their DNA code unto the next generation. Each generation tweaked this code just a little bit with their choices. It was changed to better survive, adapt and thrive.
One tiny little choice made differently, like making a settlement on a top of a mountain instead of inside a cave, could have impacted the way humans evolved today (or whether we evolved at all).
Because we developed a perfect system of sweating (yes dear humans, that’s our special ability, to sweat) we were able to run for hours and not overheat our bodies. We ran for average of 50 miles per day. That’s more than even running a marathon.
This ability enabled us to out run even the fastest of the animals. We would wait for their body to overheat and catch them than (all cool and sweaty). Because we would run so far away from our home, we needed a new kind of ability, a better memory of landmarks (because I guess iStones back then didn’t had the Google maps app).
Exactly THIS over stimulation of our brain evolved our prefrontal cortex. We developed something no animal has, the ability to visualize things, our imagination. We upgraded our consciousness and expanded our Inner World, and all because we would not give up. Just because we were not the fastest, or the strongest, it doesn’t mean it was a game over for us. Oh, no.
The upgrade of imagination enabled us to create tools. “We are not the strongest, but let’s see what strength does when it meets the sharp end of a stone tied on a stick.” We invented, and created, and invented, and created, and pretty soon we climbed on the top of the food chain (started from the bottom now we here).
We established societies, cultures, cities and countries. We waged wars and we killed each other still driven by our animal instincts, by fear of survival and the fire to thrive, to be better, to excel and evolve. Every war fought, every hero choosing courage over fear, every act of love and kindness, every single decision of all our ancestors, brought us the world we live in today.
It was every man for himself. Then, it was every family for themselves. Every city, every country, every race for themselves. And today, we can see glimpses that we are still evolving and thriving, we can see people from different families, cities, countries and races coming together to unite; to stand for what we represent together, HUMANITY!
We have changed our ways with animals. We are not that scared to love anymore; we start to love and care for the same animals who would have prevented humanity from ever evolving. Instead of vengeance, we show love. And through this love, we show them a better way. We are not just thriving, we’ve become a force that helps other species to experience love.
And because your father loved dogs, he got one. One day he went to walk his dog in the park where he bumped into your mother (this probably never happened but you get what I am trying to say). Do you know what’s the chance of your father meeting your mother?
OK, LET’S DO THIS!
The population was smaller 30 years ago so your dad could have met almost 200 million of its women. But over 25 years, he probably met around 10,000 women (go dad)! The same is true for your mother. So, the odds that your mom was in this small group and met your dad is 1 in 20,000.
And this is just them meeting. We know how tricky love can be. Combining the chance of them starting to talk to each other, going on a second date, keep dating and having children in that precise moment when you were a ready spermatozoid results with 1 in 40 million.
Things get even more unbelievable when we take in consideration the odds that the 1 of 100,000 eggs met the 1 of 4 trillion spermatozoids, which together made you (and not your brother/sister). But wait, we are just getting started.
Because your existence here, now, and on planet earth presupposes undeniable chain of events (like every one of your ancestors living to reproductive age) going all the way back not just to the first Homosapiens, but all the way back to the first singlecelled organism, there are a lot more variables. You are a representative of an unbroken lineage of life going back 4 billion years.
Do you know what the chance is right now? It’s 1 in 10 with 2,685,000 zeroes after it.
(In comparison: The number of atoms in a human body is 10 with 27 zeroes after it; the number of atoms making up earth is 10 with 50 zeroes after it; the number of atoms in the known universe is estimated at 10 with 80 zeroes after it;)
Think of it like this: The odds of you existing is the same as 2 million people getting together to play a game of dice each rolling a trillion sided dice. They each roll the dice and they all come up with the exact same number (for example 550,343,279,002)!
So, the odds that YOU exist at all are basically 0! But you still does!
And in order to exist you won a race against 250 million contestants.
You were not just first to touch the egg, but you were one of the few to pass all the traps of the race. This video will show you the whole journey:
LET THERE BE YOU…
ALL that we mentioned above refers ONLY to planet earth. And that’s just a tiny, tiny, tiny piece of the puzzle.
To put things in perspective here is Our Planet inside our Solar System:
Here is our Solar System with its other “Solar friends” inside The Solar Interstellar Neighborhood:
Here is where The Interstellar Neighborhood flows inside our Milky Way Galaxy:
Here is The Milky Way Galaxy with its “Galactic friends” inside our Local Galactic Group of galaxies:
Here is The Local Galactic Group inside The Virgo Supercluster:
Here is The Virgo Supercluster with its “Supercluster friends” inside The Local Supercluster Group:
And, believe it or not, this is not all! Here is where The Local Supercluster Groupis positioned inside Our Observable Universe (which means there is possibly a lot more we cannot yet observe, and all of this might still be just a tiny piece of the puzzle):
But here you are, on this blue speck of dust orbiting a fireball in an ever expanding Universe where more than 99,99999999% is empty space. But not you! You are the 0.00000001% of The Universe that is made out of matter (you matter). For some reason, The Universe conspired to start a chain of events that will create YOU on THIS planet, in THIS time, with THOSE people around you.
And ALL OF THIS happened, all unbelievably precise, so you will be born. Every single choice you made in your life led you here, today, to read this article. And if you think that’s not a sign of destiny, think about this:
If one star blew up too late or too early; if our planet was just a tiny little bit outside of the goldilocks zone; if those meteors never changed the course of the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs; if your ancestors never ran for 50 miles per day, or did just a tiny little choice differently; if just 1 war your ancestors won was lost, or one of your ancestor warriors was killed; if your parents never met, or were not brave enough to talk to each other; if they postponed the night they conceived you just for 1 day; if just 1 of 250 million spermatozoids was faster than the one that made you; if any single one of these things happened (and many many more) YOU WOULD NOT READ THIS RIGHT NOW!
You are a 13,7 billion year old product in the making; forged in the hottest fires of giant stars and chaotic explosions that wiped out worlds; holding a 4 billion year old lineage of the toughest species on earth, surviving 5 mass extinctions and stubbornly crawling its way to land; outwitting larger and stronger than you, courageously choosing and never giving up; climbing on the top of the food chain and outshining fear itself to choose love; produced by a union of 2 opposites coming together, shaped out from love itself;
In This MIND BLOWINGLY BIG Universe you are really, really tiny. FREAKISHLY tiny. But you are not small! You are inside a rare group of beings (with free will) which makes the 0.00000001% of The Universe that’s not an empty space.
So no matter if you believe in destiny or not, you are a miracle!
You are The Universe becoming conscious of itself!
You have a purpose that’s inside your heart and everything conspired so you can be the one to realize it (and still, you are allowed to whine about your life).
Stop acting so small! Go forth and feel and act like the miracle that you are! THRIVE!

VIDEO: Onderzoek ingesteld naar mysterieuze dood van complottheoreticus Max Spiers
De vermoedelijke vriendin van een Britse complottheoreticus die twee liter zwarte vloeistof braakte voordat hij stierf is ondervraagd door de politie.
Max Spiers werd in juli 2016 dood gevonden in het huis van Monika Duval, enkele dagen voordat hij zou spreken op een conferentie over complottheorieën in Polen.
De 39-jarige Spiers, die overheidscomplotten blootlegde, gaf twee liter zwarte vloeistof over voordat hij overleed.
Overgebracht
De politie heeft nu een onderzoek ingesteld naar zijn dood. Aanklager Lukasz Lapczynski vertelde aan de BBC: “We hebben vastgesteld dat de partner van Spiers een ambulance liet komen.”
Spiers werd tevergeefs gereanimeerd. De informatie over zijn dood bereikte het kantoor van Lapczynski pas op 30 augustus, toen zijn lichaam al was overgebracht naar Groot-Brittannië.
“We konden geen autopsie verrichten, iets wat bij dit soort zaken van essentieel belang is,” zei hij.
Onduidelijk
De aanklager is van plan iedereen te ondervragen die aanwezig was in de woning op het moment dat Spiers overleed.
“We weten dat Monika er was, maar het is onduidelijk wie er nog meer waren,” klonk het.
Max waarschuwde zijn moeder voordat hij naar Polen afreisde om zijn dood te laten onderzoeken als er iets met hem zou gebeuren.
Vijanden
Hij zou een natuurlijke dood zijn gestorven, hoewel er geen autopsie is verricht. In december werd het onderzoek geopend.
Door zijn onderzoek naar UFO’s en overheidscomplotten heeft hij mogelijk vijanden gemaakt die hem dood wilden hebben, zegt zijn moeder Vanessa Bates.
Enkele dagen voor zijn dood schreef Max aan zijn moeder: “Je jongen zit in de problemen. Als er iets met me gebeurt, ga dan op onderzoek uit.”
Geheime diensten
Vriend Miles Johnson vertelde aan Project Camelot: “Ik denk niet dat het normaal is dat iemand die gewone medicijnen slikt plotseling zwarte vloeistof begint te braken en kort daarna sterft.”
Vlak voor zijn dood dook Spiers in het leven van beroemdheden en politici. Veel van zijn aanhangers zijn ervan overtuigd dat hij is gedood door de overheid.
Complottheoretici stellen dat UFO-jagers die te dicht in de buurt van de waarheid komen worden uitgeschakeld door geheime diensten of mannen in het zwart.

TRAPPIST-1: How Long Would It Take to Fly to 7-Planet System?
TRAPPIST-1: How Long Would It Take to Fly to 7-Planet System?
By Hanneke Weitering, Space.com Staff Writer-Producer
The discovery of seven Earth-size planets around a nearby star, TRAPPIST-1, is certainly exciting news. But what would it take to visit one of these potentially Earth-like alien worlds?
TRAPPIST-1 is 39 light-years away from Earth, or about 229 trillion miles (369 trillion kilometers). It would take 39 years to get there traveling at the speed of light. But no spacecraft ever built can travel anywhere near that fast.
Given a spacecraft's speed, calculating the amount of time it would take to travel to TRAPPIST-1 is simple. Because speed is equal to distance divided by time, the total travel time must equal the distance to TRAPPIST-1 (39 light-years) divided by the spacecraft's speed.
New Horizons
New Horizons, the fastest spacecraft ever launched, flew past Pluto in 2015 and is currently traveling out of the solar system at 14.31 kilometers per second, or about 32,000 mph, according to NASA's New Horizons tracking page. At this rate, it would take the Pluto probe about 817,000 years to reach TRAPPIST-1.
Juno
NASA's Juno spacecraft actually flew faster than New Horizons during its approach to the gas giant Jupiter in 2016. With the help of Jupiter's gravity, Juno hit a top speed of about 165,000 mph (265,000 km/h) relative to Earth, making it the fastest human-made object ever (though New Horizons' initial speed was faster than Juno's speed after launch).
Even if Juno were constantly traveling that fast — not just getting a speed boost en route — it would take the spacecraft 159,000 years to reach TRAPPIST-1.
Voyager 1
Voyager 1, Earth's most distant spacecraft, left the solar system and entered interstellar space in 2012. According to NASA, it is currently speeding away at 38,200 mph. For Voyager 1 to get to TRAPPIST-1, it would take the spacecraft 685,000 years.
But Voyager 1 isn't going there anytime soon, or ever. Instead, the spacecraft is heading for a different star, AC +79 3888, which lies 17.6 light-years from Earth. It will fly within 1.7 light-years of this star in about 40,000 years.
Space Shuttle
NASA's space shuttle traveled around the Earth at a maximum speed of about 17,500 mph (28,160 km/h). A spaceship traveling at this speed would take around 1.5 million years to get to TRAPPIST-1.
So for a human mission to the TRAPPIST-1 solar system, the space shuttle would not be a practical mode of transportation.
Breakthrough Starshot
One ultrafast spacecraft that could reach TRAPPIST-1 in a much shorter time span is an interstellar mission dreamed up by Stephen Hawking in his Breakthrough Starshot initiative.
Hawking's tiny, laser-propelled probes could theoretically fly as fast as 20 percent of the speed of light, or 134 million mph (216 million km/h). That's about 4,000 times faster than NASA's record-breaking New Horizons spacecraft! A spacecraft that fast could reach TRAPPIST-1 in less than 200 years. But that concept has yet to leave the ground.
With today's technology, there's no way that anyone alive right now could make it to TRAPPIST-1 in a lifetime. While discussing the new discovery at a news conference today (Feb. 22), NASA officials suggested that it would likely take at least 800,000 years to reach the TRAPPIST-1 system.
So don't start making any interstellar vacation plans anytime soon.
Incredible multi-colored light formed 'out of nowhere' appears in the skies over Singapore
Incredible multi-colored light formed 'out of nowhere' appears in the skies over Singapore
An amazing cloud phenomenon called a ‘fire rainbow’ formed in the skies of Singapore on February 20, 2017 for just 15 minutes.
The incredible ball of multi-colored light formed 'out of nowhere' behind a cloud on Monday afternoon in North-East District, Singapore. It was so bright that onlookers even mistook it at first for a UFO as it loomed ominously across the skyline.
Fire rainbows - also known as circum horizontal arcs - are a rare occurrence caused by light bursting through cirrus clouds at high altitude.

Huge Alien Starship near Nebula discovered on Google Sky
Huge Alien Starship near Nebula discovered on Google Sky
The universe is full of mysteries, the more we learn about the universe, the more questions seem to arise. Mysteries like the supernova 1987A, Nebula or alien starships hidden in Nebula, but let’s start with Supernova 1987A.
Supernova 1987A.
Discovered in 1987, Supernova 1987A is the closest observed supernova to Earth since 1604. The exploded star resides 163,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way.
The first short video begins with a nighttime view of the Small and Large Magellanic clouds, satellite galaxies of our Milky Way. It then zooms into a rich star-birth region in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Nestled between mountains of red-colored gas is the odd-looking structure of Supernova 1987A, the remnant of an exploded star that was first observed in February 1987.
The site of the supernova is surrounded by a ring of material that is illuminated by a wave of energy from the outburst. Two faint outer rings are also visible. All three rings existed before the explosion as fossil relics of the doomed star’s activity in its final days.
The second short time-lapse video sequence of Hubble Space Telescope images reveals dramatic changes in a ring of material around the exploded star Supernova 1987A.
The images, taken from 1994 to 2016, show the effects of a shock wave from the supernova blast smashing into the ring. The ring begins to brighten as the shock wave hits it. The ring is about one light-year across.
Nebula.
A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases and most of them are of vast size. Contrary, dismissed as fictional deceptions, aliens hide their starships in Nebula as thick as cloud banks.
Alien Starship.
While checking the location of Supernova 1987A using Google Sky I came across an exceptional object which is located between Nebula and Supernova 1987A.
Although it cannot be proven the object looks like a huge cigar shaped UFO which is about 220 meters long.
So, what if it is not fiction and extraterrestrial races use Nebula to hide their Starships, could it be true?

Seven new Earths? As in seven new habitable worlds?
That was the tantalizing possibility dangled by NASA this week following the discovery of seven Earth-sized planets orbiting a star.
All the seven planets could have the key to life –liquid water—with the chances of this highest in three of the planets located in the habitable zone, NASA said in a press release.
"This discovery could be a significant piece in the puzzle of finding habitable environments, places that are conducive to life," said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. "Answering the question 'are we alone' is a top science priority and finding so many planets like these for the first time in the habitable zone is a remarkable step forward toward that goal."
The seven planets were found orbiting the TRAPPIST-1 ultracool dwarf star about 40 light-years, or 235 trillion miles, away from Earth in the constellation Aquarius. These planets are scientifically known as exoplanets because they are located outside of our solar system0
One Christian astrophysicist, however, is not about to shout "Eureka!" with NASA's announcement.
Interviewed by The Christian Post on Thursday, astronomer and best-selling author Dr. Hugh Ross pointed out that the chances of these planets being habitable are small, and that they do not diminish Earth's uniqueness.
"I think that NASA is looking for funding, so I think they are actually hyping it a little more than they should," Ross said.
In an article on his ministry's website, Reasons to Believe, the astrophysicist pointed out the seven so-called Earth-size planets are orbiting an "extremely small star."
"The luminosity of the star is less than a thousandth that of the Sun," he said.
"Ultracool, fast-rotating stars exhibit frequent huge flares that are accompanied by strong x-ray and ultraviolet radiation," Ross said.
Since the exoplanets are orbiting very close to their star, this means they are tidally locked — "one side of the planet will always be facing the star, while the other side will be in perpetual darkness," he explained.
Ross said these are just some of the details that prove how special the Earth is.
"The more planets they discover, and the more we learn about them, the more we recognize how unique our own planetary system is, and its capacity to support life," he said.
Monika Duval was called in for questioning this week, seven months after the UFO theorist died in her flat in Poland.
The duo were said to be involved in a secret romance behind his girlfriend, Sarah Adams’, back.
According to Polish prosecutors, they have opened a new investigation into involuntary manslaughter.
Science fiction writer Duval is being questioned as she was reportedly present at the time he died.
Speaking to the BBC, Lukasz Lapczynski, prosecutor in Warsaw, said: ‘At this stage we have determined that the ambulance arrived at the request of Mr Spiers’s partner.
‘Our initial investigation indicates that it was Mr Spiers’s partner [who called the ambulance], but the nature of this relationship is unclear.
‘The nature of this relationship will be determined during the investigation. The prosecutor told me he plans to interview everyone that was present when Max died. We know Monika was there, but it’s unclear who else was around.’
Max Spiers, 39, sought to expose government cover ups and visited Poland to speak at a conference, shortly before he died.
But his mother, Vanessa Bates, claimed he was ‘digging in some dark places and somebody wanted him dead’.
Just days before his death, the dad-of-two had texted his mum the chilling message: ‘Your boy’s in trouble. If anything happens, investigate.’
Max, a world-renowned conspiracy theorist from Canterbury, Kent, was said to have been probing into the lives of well-known figures in politics, business and entertainment.
Polish authorities had initially dismissed his death as from natural causes but a postmortem examination at Margate QEQM Hospital, Kent, was unable to determine how he died.
In a statement, coroner’s investigations officer Caroline O’Donnell said: ‘When they returned, Mr Spiers became ill with a high temperature and was weak. The following day, Mr Spiers vomited two litres of black fluid.
‘The friend called a doctor who attempted resuscitation before pronouncing him dead.’
PLUTO's "heart" icy plains outlined by darker features, has been dubbed " Tombaugh Regio"
The name of Clyde Tombaugh, discoverer of Pluto, is a step closer to being formally affixed to the planet’s most recognizable feature, a heart-shaped region that was informally called “Tombaugh regio” when the New Horizons spacecraft sent back the first pictures of the planet in July 2015.
The International Astronomical Union has approved the naming strategy devised by the NASA space mission’s operators, clearing the way for Tombaugh, Percival Lowell, the UA’s Michael Drake and a host of science-fiction creators and characters to be honored with their names on features of Pluto or its moon Charon — including characters from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek” and Sigourney Weaver’s “Ripley” character from the “Alien” movies.
The union, the same body that stripped Pluto of its planetary status in 2006, announced in a news release Thursday that it had approved the “naming themes” for Pluto and Charon.
In addition to names associated with mythology (Pluto is the Roman god of the underworld), the union said it would consider the names of “scientists and engineers associated with Pluto and the Kuiper Belt, pioneering space missions and spacecraft, and historic pioneers who crossed new horizons in the exploration of the Earth, sea and sky.”
That clears the way for Tombaugh to be honored with a “regio” or region of Pluto, along with Percival Lowell, who established the Flagstaff observatory from which Tombaugh found the planet in 1930.
The late Michael Drake, former head of the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Lab, who chaired the committee that approved the New Horizons mission, has a crater tentatively named for him.
The IAU approved honoring authors, artists and fictional space explorers on Charon. Craters, chasms, regions and mountains on Charon had been informally named for characters in science fiction books and movies.
“Star Wars” names include Leia, Skywalker and Vader, while “Star Trek” is represented by Spock, Kirk, Sulu and Uhura — all located in Vulcan Planum.
Film director Stanley Kubrick and novelist Arthur C. Clarke, both of “2001: A Space Odyssey” fame, are also named.
Back on Pluto, there is a crater named for Venetia Burney, who suggested the name for the planet shortly after it was discovered. She was 11 at the time.
Honored space missions include the Columbia and Challenger shuttles, Pioneer, Voyager and the Soviet Sputnik satellite.
Terrestrial explorers include Leif Erikson and Sir Edmund Hillary.
Maps of the features and their names are posted on the New Horizons “Our Pluto” page at ourpluto.org
The names are not yet official. After the mission formally submits them, they need approval from the IAU’s Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature.
Alan Stern, who led the New Horizons mission and who waged a very public spat with the IAU over its demotion of Pluto, praised the action.
“I’m very happy with both the process and partnership that New Horizons and the IAU undertook that led to wonderful, inspiring, and engaging naming themes for surface features on Pluto and its moons,” Stern said in a news release.

He died while staying with writer Monika Duval who is being quizzed by police
It was released Spiers died from natural causes but no post-mortem took place
The suspected Polish lover of a British conspiracy theorist who vomited two litres of black fluid before dying suddenly in Poland has been questioned by police on suspicion of manslaughter seven months after a coroner ruled that he had died from natural causes.
Father-of-two Max Spiers was found dead in Warsaw, Poland, July 2016
Monika Duval, who is said to have secretly been romancing Max Spiers while his girlfriend Sarah Adams was in Britain, was this week quizzed after the mysterious death of the father-of-two in the Pole's flat in July last year.
Polish prosecutors did not reveal why they suddenly opened an investigation into involuntary manslaughter or if any new evidence has come to light.
They are quizzing science fiction writer Duval, who was present at the time of his death, and said they have no plans yet to question anyone else.
Lukasz Lapczynski, prosecutor in Warsaw, said: 'At this stage we have determined that the ambulance arrived at the request of Mr Spiers's partner.
'Our initial investigation indicates that it was Mr Spiers's partner [who called the ambulance], but the nature of this relationship is unclear.'
He told the BBC: 'The nature of this relationship will be determined during the investigation.
'The doctor started resuscitation which was not successful. As a result of the doctor's decision, the police weren't involved in conducting additional procedures.
'The information about Max Spiers's death reached the prosecution office on August 30 when the body had already been transported to the UK. We couldn't do a post-mortem which is essential in such cases.
The Last Interview with Max Spiers

'The prosecutor told me he plans to interview everyone that was present when Max died. We know Monika was there, but it's unclear who else was around.'
He was ruled to have died from natural causes by Polish authorities despite no post-mortem examination being carried out on his body.
An inquest at Canterbury Coroners opened in December after his body was repatriated but a second post-mortem at the Margate QEQM Hospital, Kent, was unable to determine how he died.
Spiers had only known Duval for three months before his death and had recently returned to Poland after a holiday to Cyprus with her.
Lukasz Lapczynski, prosecutor in Warsaw, confirmed that investigation into his death is being opened
Spiers with his mother Vanessa Bates who also believes that her son's death is suspicious
The conspiracy theorist, who believed governments have covered up contact with Extraterrestrials, texted his mother to say 'If anything happens to me, investigate' just days ahead of his mysterious passing.
In one of his final social media messages he wrote, in a reply to a friend who asked how he was: 'I'm good, I am just wayyyyyy too tired.'
Spiers' mother, Vanessa Bates, 63, after her son's death said there were a number of people who wanted him dead due to his bid to uncover supposed government secrets.
Vanessa said: 'He was making a name for himself in the world of conspiracy theorists and had been invited to speak at a conference in Poland in July.
Bates by Spiers' grave in Canterbury. She said he was 'exposing' who was 'dangerous in the world of government [and] the entertainment world'
'He was staying with a woman who he had not known for long and she told me how she found him dead on the sofa.
'But I think Max had been digging in some dark places and I fear that somebody wanted him dead.'
Spiers was a UFO conspiracy theorist who believed that the governments had been in contact with alien life
Leading up to his death, Spiers, who hails from Canterbury in Kent, was said to be probing into the lives of well-known figures in politics, business and entertainment.
Conspiracy theorists have long been convinced that UFO chasers who get too close to the truth are 'bumped off' by the secret services or so-called 'Men in Black'.
On one UFO news portal, Project Camelot, a blogger wrote: 'The entire circumstances are suspicious and I urge everyone to encourage the release of details about what really happened and call for an autopsy.'
Vanessa, who works as an English teacher, added: 'Max was a very fit man who was in good health and yet he apparently just died suddenly on a sofa.
Spiers had been working with science fiction writer Madlen Namro and Duval, who he is also believed to have been staying with while in Poland
The type of relationship he had with Duval is unclear as it was believed Sarah Adams, 31, was his girlfriend at the time.
Speaking soon after his death Adams stated: 'He was terrified, he wanted to leave. He rang secretly as they wouldn't let talk. He said they were trying to get away from them.'
He had gone to Poland give a talk about conspiracy theories and UFOs.

Now prosecutors have opened an investigation into involuntary manslaughter and want to speak to his girlfriend, who was present at the time of Mr Spiers's death.
Lukasz Lapczynski, prosecutor in Warsaw, said: "At this stage we have determined that the ambulance arrived at the request of Mr Spiers's partner.
"Our initial investigation indicates that it was Mr Spiers's partner [who called the ambulance], but the nature of this relationship is unclear."
Speaking to the BBC, he added: "The nature of this relationship will be determined during the investigation.
"The doctor started resuscitation which was not successful. As a result of the doctor's decision, the police weren't involved in conducting additional procedures.
"The information about Max Spiers's death reached the prosecution office on August 30 when the body had already been transported to the UK. We couldn't do a post-mortem which is essential in such cases.
"The prosecutor told me he plans to interview everyone that was present when Max died. We know Monika was there, but it's unclear who else was around."
When the conspiracy theorist's body was transported to the UK, his laptop and phone weren't among his belongings.
His mum Vanessa Bates said science fiction writer Monika sent the valuables a few weeks later
but there was no Sim card in the phone.
She added: "There was nothing on the computer at all. Somebody had clearly, definitely wiped everything off it.
"It makes no sense to wipe somebody's computer, no sense to me."
Ms Bates, who had previously stated she believed her son was "murdered by enemies", added: "I spoke to Monika for probably a couple of weeks [since Mr Spiers's death]. She was kind, she lived in a lovely house.
"She said to Max 'Come stay here for a while, I've got a couple of good business things that we can get going'.
"I don't know what happened, but I know there's been a lot of people suggesting a lot of things and pointing a lot of fingers in her direction, and I'm sure that she wants to go very quiet."
Mr Spiers's inquest opened in December and continues later this year.

Largest UFO Conference In The World Draws Thousands
Largest UFO Conference In The World Draws Thousands
The International UFO Congress presented by OpenMinds.tv, an Arizona based organization dedicated to the dissemination of information related to UFOs and the search for extraterrestrial life drew thousands of people with their own experiences and encounters.
Amazing UFO footage filmed over Summerlin, Nevada February 2017
Amazing UFO footage filmed over Summerlin, Nevada February 2017
Check out this amazing video filmed over Summerlin in Nevada. This happened on 8th and 21st February 2017.
Witness report:
I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of February 21, 2017, and during the day of February 8, 2017. I had to put this video out. Too many people believe that the lights on this hill are off-road vehicles. There is no way that is possible. The land on this small mountain is under BLM control. It is also very close to National Conservation land. Riding any motorized vehicles is strictly forbidden and carries a huge fine if caught. A local friend climbed it twice looking for evidence of motorized vehicles and found only his own footprints. Whatever these are they are extremely strange. I have videos of the same objects lining up in the air (as many as 12 or 13 of them) in a perfectly horizontal row which would be impossible if they were on the ground. I have checked and double checked and no clubs, businesses or anybody else has been riding up there. The only legal place to drive off-road vehicles is about 30 miles from here out at the Nellis Dunes. My wife, me and our dog attempted to climb it a couple weeks ago so I could prove the soil up there was undisturbed but we couldn’t find any way to get up there. I believe that the lights are very similar to the “Marfa Lights” in Texas.
Alien hunters have already begun checking out a newly discovered planetary system for any messages from ET. And the news so far is that if intelligent life exists on any of the seven Earth-sized rocky planets, it is keeping itself to itself.
Astronomers from the SETI Institute – it stands for Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence – turned a collection of radio telescopes onto red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. This ultra cool star, just a little bigger than Jupiter, lies just 39 light-years away, which is right on our cosmic doorstep, and has at least three rocky worlds warm enough to host life.
The alien hunters pointed the 42 dishes forming the Allen Telescope Array in California at the star last year when three of the seven planets had already been detected. For two days, they scoured the region around TRAPPIST-1, scanning through ten billion radio channels to listen for any signals from ET. No transmissions were detected.
Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer at the SETI Institute, said on the organisation’s blog: “How sensitive was this search? Assuming that the putative inhabitants of this solar system can use a transmitting antenna as large as the 500-metre FAST radio telescope in China to beam their messages our way, then the Allen Array could have found a signal if the aliens use a transmitter with 100 kilowatts of power or more. This is only about ten times as energetic as the radar down at your local airport.”
Other scientists point out that life in the TRAPPIST-1 star system might only have advanced to the level of microbes or simple organisms.

The alien hunters are planning to make further attempts to tune in to the planets using their radio telescopes. And a new NASA observatory being launched next year, the James Webb Space Telescope, will be powerful enough to detect any chemical signatures in the planets’ atmospheres that would indicate life.
Dr Amaury Triaud, of the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge, who was part of the discovery team, told Skymania: “From the cocktail of molecules detected, we will deduce whether there is active biology on the surface or whether the planets are barren.
“I prefer using the term “biology” because if I say life, people imagine little green men. Here we are looking at bacteria, plants – the sort of more inert type of life.”
This week NASA released news of an astounding discovery—a solar system that may harbor the right conditions for life as we know it. The system is named TRAPPIST-1, not after those monks in Belgium who brew beer, but after the Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope used to detect it. TRAPPIST-1 consists of at least seven planets the size of Earth orbiting around one ultra-cool star (which is not my opinion of how neat it is but rather a characterization of effective temperature). This discovery is of particular importance because three of the planets are undoubtedly located in the habitable zone—an area around parent stars where the conditions are right for rocky planets (opposed to gaseous ones) to contain liquid water.
At forty light years away in the constellation Aquarius, it’s difficult for scientists to immediately answer questions regarding the existence of water and life within this solar system. Although TRAPPIST-1 is relatively close to us, due to limitations in technology scientists currently rely on space-based telescopes to remotely investigate it. The discovery was made by astronomers using the Spitzer Space Telescope—an infrared space telescope that explores the universe in distinct wavelengths of light. The system’s exoplanets (planets that orbit a star other than our Sun) were detected using the transit technique, meaning that planets must pass between their star and Earth in order to be“visible” to us.
This artist’s concept shows what each of the TRAPPIST-1 planets may look like, based on available data about their sizes, masses and orbital distances.
Advanced technology is on the horizon, however. NASA’s James Webb Telescope, launching in 2018, will be able to detect the chemical composition of the components of a planet’s atmosphere. This technology is crucial for scientists as they will be able to tell if any of the seven planets even have an atmosphere at all—and if so, if water vapor or gases attributed to living organisms are present.
Atmospheres are especially essential for these exoplanets to sustain life as this particular dwarf star appears to have one flare every week, and a more significant one every six months. An atmosphere and accompanying magnetic field (to protect from stellar winds) could limit the impact of these disruptions on the exoplanets.
Although NASA does not rule out the possibility of atmospheres and liquid water—and thus the potential for life as we understand it—they see the discovery as an opportunity to evaluate what we consider habitable environments. “This discovery could be a significant piece in the puzzle of finding habitable environments, places that are conducive to life,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington, DC. “Answering the question ‘are we alone?’ is a top science priority and finding so many planets like these for the first time in the habitable zone is a remarkable step forward toward that goal.”
The potential to find life within TRAPPIST- 1 is remarkably enticing. Perhaps just as exciting is the opportunity to one day visit these planets. NASA released beautiful artistic interpretations of what standing on the planets of TRAPPIST-1 may look like, including an advertisement for futuristic interplanetary tourism. While this historic discovery provides a chance to plan your descendants’ vacations, it’s also an opportunity to ask once more the question humanity has been contemplating for centuries: How will we respond to extra-terrestrial life? The answer to that question and many others may still be a very long way away—forty light years to be exact.
