Earth is broadcasting its location to aliens – unintentionally

New research reveals that civilian and military radar systems emit radio signals strong enough to be detected from hundreds of light years away – and could reveal our existence to intelligent civilizations

A first-of-its-kind study will scan 2,800 galaxies for extraterrestrial technology

The SETI Institute, the SETI Research Center in Berkeley, and the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research in Western Australia. The research is the first attempt to search for extraterrestrial technology in galaxies outside our galaxy, focusing on low frequencies

Belief in alien visits to Earth is getting out of control - here's why it's so dangerous

Saturn's surprise: NASA discovered an energy source and a basic molecule for life on Enceladus

In the new study, evidence for additional sources of chemical energy, much stronger and more diverse than methane production, was discovered: a group of organic compounds was found that were oxidized, and this indicates many chemical pathways for the existence of potential life in the ocean
