Alien life may be common throughout the universe, researchers claim, saying it could be thriving on planets orbiting distance stars with a dusty atmosphere. Exoplanets outside the the solar system are less likely to be too hot or cold if they have a dusty atmosphere and are tidally locked, according to the study. They would … Read more
The world’s largest single-aperture radio telescope in China will begin scanning the universe for signs of extra terrestrial life in September The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope in China set to begin its search for alien life and potentially habitable exoplanets in September The telescope initially went online in January but there was radio interference It … Read more
It may sound like a plot from a science fiction film, but NASA and scientists are concerned about alien viruses contaminating Earth. As the first humans prepare for the Mars mission, experts warn that protocols are necessary to keep extraterrestrial pollutants from hitchhiking on space ships and astronauts when returning home from the Red Planet. Stanford … Read more
Laboratory studies reveal microbes can live in extremely hostile environments such as 100 per cent hydrogen. This finding has implications in the search for extraterrestrial life and expands the amount of planets in which life could thrive to include those previously disregarded. Many planets have been found with an atmosphere made almost entirely of hydrogen, … Read more
Remarkable photographs show fields of cabbages that resemble spawning grounds for terrifying ‘facehugger’ aliens They resemble alien eggs when moisture inside freezes and outer leaves die It’s a regular sight in the countryside, but can be disconcerting to city dwellers The facehuggers are one of the most spine-chilling creatures in the Alien series By Paul … Read more
The search for life on other planets has captivated mankind for decades. But the reality could be a little less like the Hollywood blockbusters, scientists have revealed. They say if there was life on the red planet, it probably will present itself as fossilized bacteria – and have proposed a new way to look for … Read more
Large rocky planet 124 light years away from Earth appears to be covered in WATER and ‘could have right conditions to sustain alien life’ The planet is about twice the size of the Earth with possible lakes and vast seas Researchers predict they will know whether it has signs of life within the decade Large … Read more
An ancient meteor site in Germany is being studied to help scientists develop a better understanding of how past life could have existed on Mars. An international research team analysed samples from Nordlinger Ries, a 15-mile-wide impact crater in southern Germany. The site’s geology and chemistry bear similarities to the Martian surface – in particular … Read more
