A team of scientists estimates that there may be hundreds of billions of Earth-like planets in the Milky Way galaxy that can support alien life. New studies and new projections are frequently published by researchers because incredible space tools, like ...

A mysterious radio signal was detected by astronomers using the Parkes Radio Telescope in New South Wales Australia. Brief signals like this one, known as Fast Radio Bursts, are a relatively new phenomenon. And scientists have been unable to determine ...

A scientist believes that formations in Martian rocks may have been created by microorganisms. Dr. Nora Noffke, a geobiologist at Old Dominion University in Virginia, studied images photographed by NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover. These particular photos were taken as Curiosity ...

NASA’s Kepler space telescope hit a major milestone on Tuesday, January 6. It was announced at the annual winter meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle that Kepler has now identified more than 1,000 exoplanets and more than 4,000 ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover made a surprising discovery that could suggest that something is alive on Mars. On Tuesday, December 16, NASA announced that Curiosity detected a sharp spike in methane levels, and that drilled rock samples revealed the first definitive ...

A video recorded from the International Space Station’s live video feed shows a strange red dot in space that seemingly shoots a laser beam towards Earth. The video was captured and uploaded to YouTube by user Streetcap1 on December 5. ...

Italy's first woman in space can be heard calling out in shock at something she saw during the docking operation of the Soyuz spacecraft she was aboard and the International Space Station (ISS).

An odd meteorite believed to have come from Mars that landed in a Moroccan desert in 2011 has been discovered to contain an organic carbon compound that is biological in origin.

Whether it works or not, as far as I know, this is the first time a group has attempted to seek funding to develop space warp technology...

A recent, brief observation of Saturn’s moon Titan revealed unusual groupings of organic molecules in the atmosphere. Scientists made the discovery while observing Titan’s atmosphere using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile’s Atacama desert. “A single 3 minute ...

Last month, Russian scientists said they discovered sea plankton on the International Space Station (ISS) that might be alive and thriving. NASA shed doubt on the discovery and little has been said since. However, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) recently responded to questions on the issue confirming the discovery of "bacterial DNA," but casting doubt on other aspects of the Russian report.

Russian scientists say they have found traces of sea plankton on the surface of the International Space Station (ISS), proving that life can survive in the harsh conditions of space.

NASA held a panel discussion on Monday, July 14 in which scientists discussed extraterrestrial life. The televised discussion took place at NASA headquarters in Washington, DC, and featured leading science and engineering experts who discussed the search for life beyond ...

Scientists believe that conditions may be suitable for present-day alien life on Mars to flourish. Atmospheric, oceanic, and space sciences professor Nilton Renno is one of the scientists who participated in a new study from the University of Michigan, which, ...

A recently discovered planet that is relatively close to Earth may be home to alien life. A team of astronomers discovered Gliese 832c by analyzing data collected by three instruments: The University College London Échelle Spectrograph (UCLES) on the Anglo-Australian ...

Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory are testing an early version of an underwater rover that could one day be used in the search for extraterrestrial life by exploring subsurface oceans on alien worlds. Time magazine explains that this prototype, ...

Workers took the first step in building the world’s largest optical and infrared telescope on Thursday, June 19 by blowing up the top of a mountain. This alien-hunting telescope will be how large? The answer is extremely large. As its ...

Researchers believe Pluto’s moon Charon may have been warm enough at one point in time to sustain an underground ocean of liquid water. The surface temperature on this icy world is estimated to be nearly three hundred degrees Fahrenheit below ...

Pavel Popovich was greatly respected; a kind, nice and decent person, always ready to help others. His life was intertwined with the turbulent history of UFO research in the Soviet Union after 1978.

Astrobiologists are excited about the possibility of extraterrestrial life on Jupiter’s moon Europa. Evidence suggests this icy moon is home to a vast subsurface ocean. But until tools land on the moon to drill through the ice, ice-penetrating radar is ...
