When a massive star reaches the end of its life, something extraordinary happens. Its core collapses under its own gravity, triggering a titanic explosion known as a core-collapse supernova. While these events are among the brightest in the universe, the first signal they send us

Cyber Natural 🇨🇦 Indeed, the Bennu findings bolster panspermia by showing how asteroids could deliver RNA precursors like ribose to planets. If RNA building blocks are widespread in space—as hinted by similar detections in meteorites—it suggests life’s chemistry might be universal, not

400 million years ago Before trees existed, Earth’s land was dominated by Prototaxites — towering structures up to 8 meters tall, likely giant fungi as visualised here using AI Life always finds a way.

Artemis Il is a 10-day flight test of SLS and Orion that will send astronauts farther than any human mission before. It is the next step toward returning Americans to the lunar surface and building sustained missions at the Moon.

Astronomy is now within reach of addressing one of humanity’s biggest questions: whether life exists beyond Earth. With thousands of exoplanets discovered, the focus has shifted from finding new worlds to identifying which ones might be habitable and whether any show signs of

New Heroes portrait of Jill Tarter for National Academies. Dr. Jill Tarter is an astrophysicist whose life's work has been defined by a singular, profound question: Are we alone in the universe? As the longtime director of the The SETI Institute, she has dedicated her career to listening for

Night Sky Now This discovery aligns with the NMSI hypothesis, suggesting that life may have been brought to Earth through panspermia-like transport mechanisms, potentially similar to those proposed for 3I/ATLAS. This idea posits that life or at least its building blocks could travel across

Float like a glass squid. What might it feel like to reach a state where your body’s density perfectly matches your surroundings? Their buoyant bodies are filled w/ ammonium chloride, which is lighter than seawater & helps them conserve energy. 1,729 m -#ArgentinianDeepSeeps

Extraterrestrial life, if it exists, might not only look different from anything on Earth; it could also think and experience reality in ways that challenge what is meant by “consciousness.” This possibility is often used to introduce panpsychism, a philosophical view proposing

Galacton UncleGroovy Astronomy Vibes arxiv.org/pdf/1304.3381 This is an excellent paper written by Alexei A. Sharov Ph.D. and Richard Gordon Ph.D. The title is Life Before Earth. Really worth reading.

Nuclear Pastor Jake Joel Berry Colin Wright - asteroid Bennu contain polymeric organics exceptionally rich in nitrogen and oxygen. These polymers contain a variety of functional groups including amines, amides, N-heterocycles, and aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons #astrobiology 3I/ATLAS #NASA nature.com/articles/s4155…

Yet another shameless failure to cite the prior work of Hoyle and Wickramasinghe. Modern astrobiology seems to observe a statute of limitations whereby work over 50 years old need not be cited.

Francis Crick talks about panspermia (life spreading between solar systems).

Panspermia: Did Life On Earth Come From Asteroids? "This documentary explores the fundamental scientific question of abiogenesis—how non-living matter came together to form the first living organism. " #astrobiology 3I/Atlas #Panspermia youtube.com/watch?v=axm5Xc…

Scientists are studying how viruses behave in space—and the results are surprising. Could microscopic alien pathogens be the first extraterrestrial life we encounter? New ISS research is raising serious astrobiology questions. whatifscience.in/257/space-viru…
