A Space Structure Greater Than The Milky Way Galaxy Is Found By Astronomers

A team of astronomers has discovered new details of one of the strangest cosmic structures in the universe. So strange that they are literally referred to as “Odd Radio Circles” (ORC).

These colossal phenomena may have diameters of a million light years — nearly ten times larger than our galaxy — and are still unexplained.

ORCs are so rare that only five of them have been discovered, with six more candidates not yet confirmed. Scientists simply do not know what they are and cannot explain these beasts of proportions incomprehensible to humans.

A new scientific study published on March 20 sheds new details on the first of these phenomena. The spectacular images — which you can see in this article — were captured by the South African MeerKAT radio telescope and correspond to the object known as ORC1 (ORC J2103-6200). Never before has an ORC been seen in this incredible level of detail. The work offers so much detail that, as the journal Nature points out, the radio astronomer of the National Autonomous University of Mexico Alice Pasetto affirms that “this discovery will initiate new scientific investigations among astronomers”,

Unsolved Mystery

According to radio astronomer Bärbel Koribalski — of the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Sydney — “ it is reminiscent of a Fabergé egg or a soap bubble.” The outer circle “measures more than a million light-years in diameter, ten times the diameter of the Milky Way, with a series of smaller rings inside it.

(J. English U. Manitoba/EMU/MeerKAT/DES CTIO)

ORCs are almost completely new objects in the catalog of astronomical phenomena. They were discovered by astronomer Anna Kapinska using the network of one square kilometer radio telescopes in Australia just three years ago. Scientists were so surprised that initially it was even thought that they could be instrument calibration errors. It is now known that they are real structures, although we still do not know how they could have been produced. We don’t know exactly what these edge-brightening circles are or how they occur. We know that they can be seen exclusively in the radio wave spectrum — not in the visible, infrared, or X-ray light spectrum — and that three out of five have a center that coincides with the center of a visible galaxy.

The Universe Keeps Calling Us

According to this new study, there are now three possible explanations. The first is that it is the remains of an unimaginably large explosion at the center of galaxies. This explosion could be the collision of two supermassive black holes, although we can only speculate about its possible origin.

The second possible explanation could be the shock wave resulting from the birth of millions of stars, and a third could be jets that spit out highly energetic particles in the center of galaxies.

But in the end, astronomers admit they can’t explain why they are so rare, as Western Sidney University professor Ray Norris, one of the study’s co-authors, points out: “We know that ORCs are rings of faint emissions that surround a galaxy with a very active black hole at its center, but we don’t yet know what causes them or why they are so rare.”

ORC1 measurements published in the study It is truly amazing that we have only been able to detect these strange and mysterious structures in the last three years. They’ve obviously been around for eons astronomers think they formed over a billion years — but the fact that we’re still discovering things at this point just goes to show how much we still have to do.

In the end, the only thing we know for sure is what Socrates said: we know nothing. The universe keeps reminding us that it is full of unsolved mysteries. Research to discover the secrets of the cosmos and therefore the origin of the human being must continue and increase in the coming years.

It is the great adventure that continues to drive our desire for exploration, our very existence as a species, and the fundamental engine of our civilization. Without it, we will have no future.

China announces via state media that it may have detected signals from an ALIEN CIVILISATION – before mysteriously deleting the report

• China detected unusual signals using its Sky Eye telescope in Guizhou province
• The news was announced then deleted by China's state-backed science website 
• Sky Eye launched back in September 2020 to search for extraterrestrial signals 

By JONATHAN CHADWICK FOR MAILONLINE 

China has claimed that it may have received a message from an alien civilisation using its $180 million Sky Eye telescope, according to reports. 

Sky Eye, a 1,640-foot-diameter telescope based in China's Guizhou province, has detected unusual electromagnetic signals that scientists claim could have alien origins.

The news was revealed in a report by Science and Technology Daily, the official newspaper of China's Ministry of Science and Technology, based in Beijing. 

But according to Bloomberg, Science and Technology Daily deleted the report shortly after it was posted, although it's uncertain why.

Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, also known as FAST or Sky Eye, is based in a natural basin in Guizhou

Sky Eye telescope may have picked up signs of life beyond Earth, according to a report by the state-backed Science and Technology Daily, which then appeared to have deleted the report and posts about the discovery,' Bloomberg says.

'The news had already started trending on social network Weibo and was picked up by other media outlets, including state-run ones.' 

The Science and Technology Daily report cited Zhang Tonjie, chief scientist of an extraterrestrial civilization search team co-founded by Beijing Normal University, the National Astronomical Observatory of China and the University of California, Berkeley. 

The team detected two sets of suspicious signals in 2020 while processing data collected in 2019, and found another suspicious signal in 2022 while observing exoplanets – planets outside our solar system.  

Zhang said the suspicious signals could also be some kind of radio interference, so further investigation is required. 

MailOnline has contacted the National Astronomical Observatory of China for comment. 

Currently, no life beyond Earth has ever been found, but this does not mean that the universe is lifeless other than on Earth, according to NASA. 

The US space agency says: 'While no clear signs of life have ever been detected, the possibility of extraterrestrial biology – the scientific logic that supports it – has grown increasingly plausible.'

Due to its size, Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, also known as FAST or Sky Eye, has one of the best chances of discovering alien life. 

It was launched in September 2020 specifically to search interstellar communication signals that suggest alien life and potentially habitable exoplanets. 

As its official name suggests, FAST has a diameter of 500 meters (1,640 feet), making it the world’s largest full dish radio telescope. 

The dish-like telescope, as large as 30 football fields, costed 1.2 billion yuan (about $180 million)

Engineers work at the control centre for the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) on February 3, 2021 in Pingtang County, Qiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province of China

It's able to scan twice the sky area covered by the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, the previous record holder for the largest single-aperture radio telescope in the world. 

FAST can deliver readings between three and five times more sensitive than those from Arecibo Observatory, which is why scientists have been hopeful the telescope could lead to a breakthrough in the search for alien life. 

A 65-person village was destroyed before construction of FAST began, and more than 9,000 people in the surrounding countryside were forced to relocate to create a three-mile radius around the telescope without any electromagnetic interference.

According to government officials, each person was given the equivalent of $1,800 in compensation for the relocation.

BREAKING: China Claims That Its 'Sky Eye' Telescope May Have Received Signals From Alien Civilizations

by Mirza Newton

China claimed that its massive Sky Eye telescope may have detected signals of extraterrestrial civilizations, according to a report by the state-backed Science and Technology Daily, which promptly removed the piece and related postings.

The report cites Zhang Tonjie, chief scientist of an extraterrestrial civilization search team co-founded by Beijing Normal University, the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of California, Berkeley, as saying that the narrow-band electromagnetic signals detected by Sky Eye — the world's largest radio telescope — differ from those captured in the past and that the team is investigating them further.

It is unclear why the report was apparently removed from the website of the Science and Technology Daily, the official newspaper of China's science and technology ministry, despite the fact that the news was already trending on social network Weibo and had been picked up by other media outlets, including state-run outlets.

Sky Eye, which is situated in the Guizhou region of southwestern China and has a diameter of 500 meters (1,640 feet), commenced an official search for alien life in September 2020. Zhang, according to the newspaper, said that the team noticed two sets of suspicious signals in 2020 while processing data acquired in 2019, and another suspicious signal in 2022 from observation data of planetary targets.

According to Zhang, China's Sky Eye is particularly sensitive to the low-frequency radio band and plays a crucial role in the hunt for extraterrestrial civilizations.

He stated that the odd signals might possibly be radio interference and need more examination.

This is a developing story and we will keep you updated as soon as new information regarding this story emerges.

Astronomers Find A Potential ‘Major Planet’ Orbiting A Dead Star That Can Support Life For At Least 1 Billion Years Into The Future

It turns out that the existence of life on planets orbiting stars like our sun does not require those stars to be vibrant and powerful. 

A potential "major planet" that orbits a dying sun and could support life in the future has been found by scientists.

The “surprising” discovery was made by researchers from University College London while watching a white dwarf, the burning remnants of a star that ran out of hydrogen fuel. It is about 117 light-years away from us. This star, known as WD1054-226, has a ring of planetary rubble in its orbital habitable zone, also known as the Goldilocks zone, where temperatures should enable the planet to have liquid water on its surface.

If the newfound planet is proved to be a life-sustaining world, it will be the first time a life-sustaining planet has been identified around a dying sun.

Scientists made the discovery while monitoring the light from the white dwarf and reported their results in the Royal Astronomical Society’s Monthly Notices. They discovered strong dips in light that matched to 65 uniformly distributed clouds of debris that orbited WD1054-226 every 25 hours, according to their findings.Jay Farihi, the lead author of the study and professor at UCL Physics and Astronomy, said: “The moon-sized structures we have observed are irregular and dusty (e.g. comet-like) rather than solid, spherical bodies”

He described the structures as a “mystery we cannot explain,” but suggested one possible and “unexpected” explanation: a nearby planet.He said: “”An exciting possibility is that these bodies are kept in such an evenly-spaced orbital pattern because of the gravitational influence of a nearby planet. Without this influence, friction and collisions would cause the structures to disperse, losing the precise regularity that is observed. A precedent for this ‘shepherding’ is the way the gravitational pull of moons around Neptune and Saturn help to create stable ring structures orbiting these planets. We were not looking for this.”

The idea of a “major planet” in the star’s habitable zone is thrilling, but he emphasises that such a planet has yet to be proven. Farihi stated that his team still requires further proof, which may be tough to get due to the inability to directly view the planet. To gain a clearer explanation, they may have to depend on computer models along with additional observations of the star and its circling debris.

The team anticipates that, if a planet exists, it was just recently formed — and that it would be habitable for at least 2 billion years, including at least 1 billion years in the future.

Their finding may also aid scientists in developing a better knowledge of our solar system, as more than 95% of all stars, including our sun, will ultimately become white dwarfs.

Aliens haven't contacted Earth because there's no sign of intelligence here, new answer to the Fermi paradox suggests

But experts have offered  other explanations for the missing aliens: Perhaps they visited Earth in the past, before humans evolved or were capable of recording the visit. Or maybe long-distance space travel is more difficult than believed. Perhaps aliens evolved advanced civilization too recently to make it to Earth. Or they've deliberately decided not to explore the cosmos. It’s even possible that they’ve killed themselves off.

Related: 

• Why have aliens never visited Earth? Scientists have a disturbing answer.

In the new paper, Wandel offers another possible explanation: that life is actually really common in the Milky Way. If many of the rocky planets orbiting in the habitable zone of stars host life, aliens probably aren't going to waste their resources sending signals to every one — they'd likely end up trying to communicate with alien algae or amoebas. 

If life is common, intelligent aliens are likely much more interested in signs of technology. But tech signals may be tough to detect. Earth has only been beaming out signals detectable from space (in the form of radio waves) since the 1930s. In theory, these signals have now washed over about 15,000 stars and  their orbiting planets, but that is a tiny fraction of the up to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way. Furthermore, Wandel wrote, it takes time for any return message from aliens to travel back, so only stars within 50 light-years have had time to respond since Earth started broadcasting off-planet. 

Even worse, Earth's oldest radio signals weren't deliberately broadcast into space, so they're likely so garbled after about one light-year that aliens would be unable to distinguish them, according to Universe Today(opens in new tab). (Earthlings sent out the first deliberate high-power broadcast to aliens with the Arecibo message in 1974, directed to the globular star cluster M13. Some scientists think it's time to send another.) 

Wandel found that unless intelligent civilizations are very abundant, with more than 100 million technologically advanced planets in the Milky Way, it's likely that Earth's signals haven't reached another form of intelligent life. However, with time, and as our planet beams out more and more radio chatter, it becomes more likely that Earth's technological signals will find intelligent listeners, Wandel wrote. 

The findings suggest that perhaps there are no intelligent civilizations within about 50 light-years of our planet, he wrote. But intelligent life could still be out there — they’re just waiting for our call.

By The Black Hole Telescope So Big Yoυ Ϲaп Spot It Iп The Backyard Αstroпomers Αccideпtally Discovered

Black holes are the cosmic glυttoпs, coпsυmiпg aпythiпg that approaches too closely, eveп light.Now, a team of worldwide researchers has ideпtified a sυpermassive black hole that devoυrs the mass of oпe Earth every secoпd.

By observiпg other light objects billioпs of years old, the scieпtists determiпed that the пewly foυпd behemoth was the brightest aпd fastest-growiпg sυpermassive black hole of the previoυs пiпe billioп years (that we kпow of).

This dazzliпg cosmic beast, located iп the coпstellatioп Ϲeпtaυrυs, is more thaп 500 times bigger thaп the sυpermassive black hole at the ceпtre of oυr owп galaxy.

The resυlts, which are preseпtly beiпg reviewed, were pυblished iп a physics academic joυrпal last week.

“People have beeп lookiпg for these kiпds of objects siпce the 1960s,” said lead aυthor Ϲhristopher Օпkeп, aп astroпomer at the Αυstraliaп Natioпal Uпiversity.

“Αпd somehow, this oпe seemed to have escaped all oυr previoυs efforts to fiпd it.”

While searchiпg the Milky Way for пearby pairs of biпary stars — stars that circle the same ceпtre of mass — the team came oпto the straпge object.

They were υsiпg the SkyMapper telescope at Sidiпg Spriпg Օbservatory пear Ϲooпabarabraп, betweeп the New Soυth Wales areas of Ϲeпtral West aпd North West Slopes.

Αdriaп Lυcy, a PhD caпdidate at Ϲolυmbia Uпiversity iп New York, discovered over 200 possibilities for biпary stars, bυt accordiпg to Dr. Օпkeп, there was somethiпg pecυliar aboυt them.

Օпe of them tυrпed oυt to be υпlike a biпary system iп every way.

To get a closer look at the pecυliar object, the crew travelled to Ϲape Towп’s Soυth Αfricaп Αstroпomical Օbservatory’s 1,9-meter telescope.

Here, they were able to examiпe the differeпt waveleпgths of light emitted by SMSS J114447.77-430859.3, or J1144 for short.

“Yoυ really see the detailed fiпgerpriпts of what’s makiпg υp these objects,” Dr Օпkeп said.

Αпd it did пot resemble a giaпt star iп aпy way.

Iпstead, the object featυred brilliaпt liпes showiпg that gas was flowiпg very qυickly, iпdicatiпg that it was propelled by a sυpermassive black hole.

Several of the brightest objects iп the sky, qυasars, are powered by sυpermassive black holes, which have a mass of millioпs or billioпs of Sυпs.

From Earth, these brilliaпt objects resemble stars, bυt their light origiпates from the accretioп disc, a riпg of gas, dυst, aпd stars that swirls aroυпd the black hole.

Αs this material is pυlled iпto the black hole’s gapiпg moυth by its eпormoυs gravitatioпal attractioп, it becomes very hot aпd prodυces bliпdiпg light.

“The gas is kiпd of fυппelliпg dowп iпto a paпcake shape, aпd that material theп heats υp throυgh frictioп,” Dr Օпkeп said.

Like a ball rolliпg dowп a hill, the material accelerates as it approaches the eveпt horizoп of a black hole — the poiпt from which пot eveп light caп escape — releasiпg its poteпtial eпergy.

“Eveпtυally all that stυff falls iпto the black hole past the eveпt horizoп, addiпg to the mass of the black hole as it does so.”

This bright, fast-moviпg cloυd of gas eпabled Dr. Օпkeп aпd his colleagυes to estimate the sυpermassive black hole’s mass at three billioп Sυпs.

Iп comparisoп, Sagittariυs Α*, the sυpermassive black hole at the ceпtre of oυr galaxy, has a mass of aroυпd 4 millioп Sυпs.

Αпd althoυgh J1144 was faiпter thaп previoυs qυasars discovered iп the last 60 years, it was still far more distaпt aпd brighter thaп other objects of the same age.

“That was very excitiпg becaυse these are pretty υпυsυal fiпds,” Dr Օпkeп said.

Keep aп eye oυt for J114 jυst пorth-west of the Soυtherп Ϲross.(Sυpplied: Ϲhristiaп Wolf/ΑNU/IΑU)

This qυasar’s brightпess is aboυt 7,000 times brighter thaп all of the light iп the Milky Way, makiпg it visible from yoυr backyard with the right telescope.

Dr. Օпkeп recommeпded a telescope with a diameter of 30 to 40 ceпtimetres aпd a camera capable of leпgthy exposυres.J1144 is sitυated iп the sky approximately пorth-west of the Soυtherп Ϲross, emaпatiпg from the coпstellatioп Ϲeпtaυrυs.

“It’s jυst right overhead at sυпset at this time of year,” Dr Օпkeп said.

Unidentified flying saucer like object captured on video in Colombia

On November 1, 2022, a UFO sighting was reported in Pasto, Colombia. According to the witness, who was observing nature in the backyard of their home, they noticed an object suspended about 30 meters away. The object had a strange shape and was rotating in a peculiar way.

The witness decided to go upstairs to get a better view of the object, and observed that it turned red, with a bright, ignited-like color. They attempted to record the object, but were unable to focus due to their nerves. In a second video, they were able to capture the object as it traveled slowly across the sky.

• Check out more UFO sightings from Colombia

The witness then went outside to continue observing the object, which headed towards some buildings about 200 meters away. Suddenly, the object moved back a bit before gaining speed and heading towards the Galeras volcano. The witness attempted to record this moment, but was unable to locate the object due to the maximum zoom on their cell phone camera and their excitement.

Overall, the witness described the experience as strange and said that they have many doubts about what they saw. They are hesitant to share their videos, fearing that people will not take the sighting seriously. It is not clear what the object could have been, and without additional information, it is difficult to determine the exact nature of the object.

UFO sighting in San Diego leaves residents puzzled

On the evening of October 31, 2021, a UFO sighting was reported in San Diego, California. According to the witness, two round, bright circles were observed in the sky. The circles were stationary and did not appear to be moving. The witness was able to capture a video and a photograph of the unusual object before going inside.Predict

It is not clear what the object could have been, as the witness did not see it arrive or depart. Some possible explanations for the sighting could include unusual atmospheric conditions, a drone or other aircraft, or a hoax. Without further information, it is difficult to determine the exact nature of the object.

Although it is not uncommon for people to encounter strange objects in the sky, such as UFOs, it is important to consider the various theories surrounding these sightings before reaching a conclusion. Some believe that these objects are extraterrestrial visitors or man-made technology, while others think they are natural phenomena.

JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE DISCOVERED ARTIFICIAL LIGHTS ON PROXIMA B

There are several ways to tell alien technology exists on another planet. For example, we may be able to see the light of a distant world waver with a massive constellation of satellites. You know the same stuff that's happening on Earth as well with the increasing number of satellites that we push out into orbit. Atmospheric pollution may be detectable from nuclear conflict. While these indicators of technology could also be caused by natural phenomena like orbiting debris or a comet impact, artificial illumination is distinct from the natural light of stars.

James Webb Discovers a Galaxy That Could Fundamentally Change Physics!

In July of this year, the time had finally come: After the James Webb telescope had already reached its orbit in Earth's orbit in January, NASA published the first images and data.

Immediately thereafter, the search for the oldest galaxies in the universe began. The researchers were not disappointed, one record was broken after the next and finally, with Ceers-1749, the researchers found what is believed to be the oldest galaxy ever glimpsed by a man-made telescope. Find out why this discovery could turn the world of physics and the previous picture of the origin story of our universe upside down in this video.

Two tails of dust ejected from the Didymos-Dimorphos asteroid system are seen in new images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope,

Credit: NASA/ESA

“What we can learn from the DART mission is all part of a NASA’s overarching work to understand asteroids and other small bodies in our Solar System. Impacting the asteroid was just the start. Now we use the observations to study what these bodies are made of and how they were formed – as well as how to defend our planet should there ever be an asteroid headed our way.”

The team’s report consists of a detailed analysis of all the science and engineering data that focused on measuring the momentum transfer imparted by the DART spacecraft – which was traveling at roughly 22,530 km/h (14,000 mph) when it struck. Being able to predict momentum transfer accurately is vital to planning future kinetic impact missions in the event that an asteroid is likely to impact Earth. This includes determining the impactor’s size and estimating the lead time needed to push an asteroid off its path.

Based on observations before and after, the team learned that Dimorphos and Didymos have very similar compositions. Both are composed of chondrite, rocky material that formed from dust and small grains in the early Solar System, the same material found in the most common type of meteorite to impact Earth. These measurements also incorporated telescope images of the ejecta, which accounted for the majority of reflected sunlight by the double-asteroid in the days following the impact. These showed how solar radiation pressure stretched the ejecta stream into a twin tail (similar to what comets form) that measures about 10,000 km (6,200 mi).

Scientists also estimate that DART’s impact displaced over a thousand metric tons (two million lbs) of chondrite rock into space – about the same weight as a cargo ship. This data was combined with new information on the moonlet’s composition and the ejecta’s characteristics. They also consulted telescope observations and images taken by DART’s ride-along CubeSat companion – the Light Italian CubseSat Imaging of Asteroids (LICIACube) – contributed by the Italian Space Agency (ASI).

Based on all this data and assuming that Didymos and Dimorphos have the same densities, the team calculated the momentum transferred by the DART impact compared to the recoil generated by the ejected mass. Ultimately, they found that the total energy of the impact and ejecta was roughly 3.6 times greater than if the asteroid had absorbed the spacecraft and produced no ejecta at all. As Andy Cheng, the DART investigation team lead from Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL), explained:

“Momentum transfer is one of the most important things we can measure, because it is information we would need to develop an impactor mission to divert a threatening asteroid. Understanding how a spacecraft impact will change an asteroid’s momentum is key to designing a mitigation strategy for a planetary defense scenario.”

The DART test proved that the kinetic impact technique has the potential to divert an asteroid on approach to Earth. The task now is to apply this knowledge so that future asteroid defense spacecraft can be built and the technique tested further. The success of these tests could mean the difference between the continued safety of all life on Earth (and our civilization) and a massive impact that causes mass extinction someday.

Astronomers Scanned 12 Planets for Alien Signals While They Were in Front of Their Stars

The Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT), part of the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia, is the world’s premiere single-dish radio telescope. Between its 100-meter dish (328-foot), unblocked aperture, and excellent surface accuracy, the GBT provides unprecedented sensitivity in the millimeter to meter wavelengths – very high to extremely high frequency (VHF to EHF). Since 2017, it also became one of the main instruments used by Breakthrough Listen and other institutes engaged in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

Recently, an international team of researchers from the SETI Institute, Breakthrough Listen, and multiple universities scanned twelve exoplanets for signs of technological activity (aka. “technosignatures”). Their observations were timed to coincide with the planets passing in front of their sun relative to the observer (i.e., making a transit). While the survey did not detect any definitive evidence of technosignatures, they did identify two radio signals of interest that warrant follow-up observation. This new technique could vastly expand the field of SETI and create all kinds of opportunities for future research.

The team was led by Sofia Z. Sheikh, a graduate student with the SETI Institute and Berkeley SETI Research Center (UC Berkeley), and other members of a graduate SETI program run by the Penn State Extraterrestrial Intelligence Center (PSETIC). They were joined by teams from Breakthrough Listen, the Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds (CEHW), the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), and multiple universities and research institutes. The paper that details their research is scheduled to be published in The Astronomical Journal.

The search for radio signals has been an established SETI convention since the first survey was conducted in 1961. This was Project Ozma, led by the late and legendary Cornell astrophysicist Frank Drake, for whom the Drake Equation is named. In recent years, the field of SETI has expanded considerably, with next-generation radio telescopes and new data analysis techniques (many of which incorporate machine learning) have become available. The kinds of technosignatures researchers could look for are also expanding, with proposals ranging from directed energy and neutrinos to gravitational waves.

Nevertheless, radio transmissions remain the most sought-after technosignature, and radio surveys have advanced exponentially thanks to newly-developed hardware and cutting-edge computational techniques. As Sheikh told Universe Today via email:

“Traditional radio SETI is expanding exponentially, with new sources of funding and new radio telescopes coming on-sky (for example, MeerKAT),” she said. “In addition, many new scientists are getting involved in the field, including both students and experts in other sub-fields who are applying their skills to the technosignature challenge. It’s very exciting to be a part of SETI at such a dynamic point in time!”

However, finding evidence of artificial radio signals remains daunting, requiring powerful arrays, considerable observation time, and immense commitment and patience from research teams. In addition, there is a growing concern among SETI researchers that the majority of search space (not just in terms of physical space but also possible types of technosignatures) is still unexplored. According to Sheikh and her team, this creates the opportunity to mount new projects that could fill the unexplored regions of “parameter space”:

“The classic problem with SETI is the “needle in a haystack” issue – even if someone is trying their hardest to get our attention, space is big, and there are so many forms that a message could take (even if you just restrict the possibility space, or parameter space, to the radio spectrum). So it helps if we try to figure out special places, times, or frequencies that might be more likely locations for messages than any random point.”

These are known as “Schelling Points,” a concept from game theory where two or more people arrive at the same solution by default and in the absence of communication. Examples include places like the Galactic Center, where some SETI researchers believe civilizations are most likely to be found, or frequencies like 1420 MHz. Also known as the “hydrogen” or “21-centimeter line.” this frequency corresponds to the change in the energy state of neutral hydrogen. Radio waves at this frequency are considered favorable by SETI researchers since they can penetrate large clouds of dust in the interstellar medium (ISM).

For their study, Sheikh and her colleagues consulted data on 12 exoplanets identified by the Kepler Space Telescope. These planets were detected using Transit Photometry (aka. Transit Photometry), where periodic dips in a star’s luminosity are used to confirm the presence of exoplanets and constrain their size and orbital periods. The GBT gathered data on these Kepler exoplanets as they made transits of their respective stars on March 25th, 2018. The goal was to see if radio transmissions coincided with these transits, a surefire sign of an advanced civilization attempting to communicate. Said Sheikh:

“For this particular project, we used the centers of planetary transits as Schelling Points. In other words, we timed our observations such that the exoplanet-of-interest was lined up with its host star and the solar system. That’s a time that we know (by observing the dip in brightness as the planet passes in front of its star), and it’s a time that any potential life on the exoplanet would also know – therefore, it is “mutually derivable”.”

While it is extremely energy-intensive to transmit a constant message, this method narrows the transmission down to a specific mutually-derivable window. This dramatically reduces the costs of sending messages to space while significantly increasing the odds of detecting messages. Sheikh and her colleagues are the first to use this technique in a radio technosignature search. And while they did not detect any technosignatures, their pioneering study has established a procedure that will make similar surveys much easier to mount in the future.

“This was a pilot study for the transits-as-Schelling-points idea, and future research will expand the sample to include significantly more exoplanets,” she concluded. “This is especially relevant with upcoming commensal projects like COSMIC on the ngVLA, which will be surveying the sky almost constantly – with so much new data on the way, knowing exactly when and where to look will help us prioritize potentially real signals over the growing background of radio frequency interference from Earth.”

Aliens on the Rise: NYC Sees Increase in UFO Sightings in 2022

The number of reported sightings of UFOs in New York City has increased significantly over the past couple of years. In 2022, the number of sightings increased by 4%. This is the first time that residents of the city have submitted pictures to the UFO reporting center in an attempt to prove that they spotted extraterrestrials.

Although the photos that were submitted by the residents were blurry, the statements that accompanied them suggested that the number of alien visitors has increased.

• You can find out more UFO sightings from NYC in our New York tag!

In total, 13 UFO sightings were reported in Manhattan. Some of these include a series of objects that were spotted in the East River in June, and a large, silent alien craft that was seen flying across the city in August. Queens had the most number of reported sightings with six. Brooklyn had four, Staten Island had three, and the Bronx had two.

The increasing number of reported sightings has raised the question of whether or not something strange is happening in the skies.

Pentagon Forced to Admit: Advanced UFO Technology Remains a Mystery

The New York Times published an article in 2017 acknowledging the existence of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, and the Pentagon’s efforts to keep information about them hidden from the public. This admission sparked a renewed interest in the topic and led to Congress mandating the release of two reports from the Pentagon on the subject.

The first report admitted that in 18 known instances, UFOs demonstrated an advanced technology that was unknown to human science and that the Pentagon had no information to explain it. However, the Pentagon spun the report to say that there was no evidence that the UFOs were alien spacecraft. The second report, released in October, admitted that many UFO sightings did not have conventional explanations and that some of them were possibly related to foreign spying or drones.

Despite these revelations, the Pentagon has continued to try to downplay the significance of the UFO topic and steer the media’s focus away from it.

NASA's Insight mission has ENDED: Mars lander declared a 'dead bus' after its solar-powered batteries ran out of energy

• NASA has officially ended its Insight mission on Mars after the lander did not respond to two communication attempts
• Scientists said the lander was covered in dust, which made it impossible for the solar batteries to charge 
• The last time Insight communicated with Earth was December 15, but the team plans to keep listening for a signal 'just in case' 

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM and JONATHAN CHADWICK FOR MAILONLINE

NASA has bid farewell to Insight after more than four years of service.

Mission controller announced the demise of the Mars lander Wednesday after two failed attempts to contact the craft.

The team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said the cause of death was the craft's batteries that ran out of power - a state engineers call a 'dead bus.'

The last time the lander communicated with Earth was December 15, but mission control had previously decided to declare the mission over if Insight missed two communications attempts.

The official Insight Twitter account posted Tuesday what was believed to be the last photo snapped by lander with a Mars lander. 

NASA shared a pictured of Insight on Tuesday (pictured), saying this might be the last image from the Mars lander because its batteries were not charging

Insight detected more than 1,300 marsquakes with its French-built seismometer, including several caused by meteoroid strikes, since landing on Mars in 2018.

Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington, said in a statement: 'I watched the launch and landing of this mission, and while saying goodbye to a spacecraft is always sad, the fascinating science InSight conducted is cause for celebration.

'The seismic data alone from this offers tremendous insights not just into Mars but other rocky bodies, including Earth.'

InSight lander detects hundreds of 'Marsquakes' suggesting the Red Planet could be harboring alien life 

InSight spacecraft proves Mars experiences earthquakes just like Earth and discovers 450 quivers in a year - suggesting there may be life on the Red Planet. 

Insight's final image shows its seismometer, the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS), a round, dome-shaped instrument.

SEIS has been sitting on the Martian surface to take the 'pulse' or seismic vibrations and provide a glimpse into the planet's internal activity.

InSight also carries two engineering cameras – one mounted on the arm (known as IDC) and the other on the front of the lander (known as ICC), which took this final image.

Earlier this summer, the lander had so little remaining power that the mission turned off Insight's other science instruments to keep the seismometer running.

NASA even turned off the fault protection system that would otherwise automatically shut down the seismometer if the system detected that the lander's power generation was dangerously low.

Insight was tasked with studying the deep interior of Mars to learn how all celestial bodies with rocky surfaces formed, including those on Earth and the moon.

It was only meant to operate for two years, but its mission was extended to four years after it was found to have 'produced exceptional science' by an independent review panel.

Even from the mission's outset, it was clear to NASA staff that it wouldn't be as long-lasting as some of the agency's other projects.

It was known that its solar panels would eventually get covered in Martian dust, making it hard to generate power.

NASA said fitting it with some mechanism that removed the dust 'would have added cost, mass and complexity' that could have hindered its success.

NASA said the scientific results and discoveries obtained by Insight 'has answered many questions, and posed new ones for future explorers.'

NASA shared the final image of the lander as the sun was setting on Mars

Sadly, Martian dust carried by the wind has gradually been gathering on Insight's solar panels, making it hard to generate power. The lander is pictured above in December 2018

Insight landed near Mars' equator on the western side of a flat expanse of lava, Elysium Planitia – and shortly after tweeted its first image 

These include the detection of the first quakes on another planet, including the most recent one in May this year.

This Marsquake had an estimated magnitude of 5, with vibrations reverberating through the planet for at least six hours.

Insight also showed that the planet's crust is thinner than expected – about 15 to 25 miles (25 to 40 kilometers) thick, comprising three internal layers.

Laurie Leshin, director of JPL, which manages the mission, said: 'InSight has more than lived up to its name. 

'As a scientist who's spent a career studying Mars, it's been a thrill to see what the lander has achieved, thanks to an entire team of people across the globe who helped make this mission a success.

'Yes, it's sad to say goodbye, but InSight's legacy will live on, informing and inspiring.'
