  11. #ICYMI: SETI Institute CEO and President Bill Diamond gave a talk earlier this week called "The Search for Life Beyond Earth - How It Works, Where It Stands and Why It Matters." He explored the science and technology of humanity’s efforts to understand the nature and prevalence of life and intelligence beyond Earth, and to answer the question, “Are we alone in the Universe?”

  14. Once again, we highlight the work of #scientists who are studying #notjustaliens in our quest to understand our universe, including the Moon!

    Dr. Megan Seritan studied lunar paleomagnetism at UC Santa Cruz, focusing on lunar swirls. She now works with the Ring-Moon Systems (RMS) Node of the NASA Planetary Data System (PDS), helping manage data from NASA's planetary missions to the outer solar system.

    If an extraterrestrial civilization existed with technology similar to ours, would they be able to detect Earth and evidence of humanity? If so, what signals would they detect, and from how far away?

    A research team led by Sofia Sheikh of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, in collaboration with the Characterizing Atmospheric Technosignatures project and the Penn State Extraterrestrial Intelligence Center, set out to detect answers.

    Dr. Franck Marchis, a senior planetary astronomer and director of Citizen Science at the SETI Institute, and Dr. Lauren Sgro, outreach manager for LaserSETI and astronomer at the SETI Institute, discussed the possibility of Dyson spheres and recent research in a SETI Institute video. While no aliens have been found (yet!), Dr. Marchis explained that a Dyson Sphere is a hypothetical megastructure built around a star by aliens to harness energy.

    In February 1995, a small research organization known as the SETI Institute launched what was then the most comprehensive search for an answer to a centuries-old question: are we alone in the universe?

    This Sunday marks the 30th anniversary of the first astronomical observations conducted for the search, named Project Phoenix. These observations were done at the Parkes Observatory on Wiradjuri country in the central west of New South Wales, Australia.

    Astrophysicist Lisa Kaltenegger explores the thrilling possibility of discovering life beyond Earth, highlighting how cutting-edge technology like the James Webb Space Telescope lets us analyze distant planets for signs of life in unprecedented detail. Could examining these "alien earths" uncover evidence of new life forms and transform our understanding of the cosmos? We may be closer than ever to finding out.

    The [SETI Institute's 40th anniversary] celebration featured an award honoring Jill Tarter, one of SETI’s founding members and a legend in the fields of astrobiology and space engineering. Tarter was doing SETI research for NASA until the 1980s when a few senators yanked the funding, and she split off with a colleague to form the SETI Institute. The nonprofit based in Mountain View still gets about two-thirds of its funding through NASA.

    Are we alone? Really, though, in a cosmic sense. Forty years ago, the pioneering radio astronomer Jill Tarter co-founded a Bay Area non-profit to support humanity's search for life beyond ourselves. We celebrate the SETI—as in Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence—Institute’s anniversary and all their contributions to science, which, sadly, do not yet include finding aliens. What do you hope SETI finds in its next forty years?

  27. PODCAST: economist.com/podcasts/2024/10

    In their search for life elsewhere, scientists have in recent years become much more interested in the outer solar system’s icy moons, once considered too far from the Sun to plausibly support life. NASA's Europa Clipper is one of several probes heading to (or planned to travel to) those faraway worlds. Will they find signs that life could exist there?

    We are excited to share that the SETI Institute will come together to commemorate 40 years of remarkable history and scientific achievements. Since its founding in 1984 by Jill Tarter and Tom Pierson, the SETI Institute has pushed the boundaries of space exploration. Our scientists have consistently unlocked new possibilities in astrobiology, SETI, and beyond. #seti #arewealone

    In her new book The Secret Life of the Universe, Nathalie Cabrol presents both a comprehensive guide to how life could have evolved across our solar system and a review of life’s own journey on Earth, using historical, scientific and even spiritual lenses. Cabrol grounds our quest to find and define “life” in the natural balance, the give and take, between the biological and its environment.

    As director of the Carl Sagan Center for Research at the SETI Institute, astrobiologist Nathalie A. Cabrol's work focuses on the question of whether we are alone in the universe. In "The Secret Life of the Universe: An Astrobiologist's Search for the Origins and Frontiers of Life," readers gain a deeper understanding of the significant scientific endeavor moving closer to finding an answer.

  41. Experts believe it’s only a matter of time until we find intelligent extraterrestrial life. With new tools and technologies, we search more of the cosmos every day. But what happens when we detect ET? How will we interact? What will we say? A scientist, a poet, and a science communicator explore these questions, grounding their perspectives in science.

    Did you know that the SETI Institute and The Planetary Society have more in common than just a passion for the search for extraterrestrial life? Carl Sagan, one of The Planetary Society’s founders, based the main character of his famous book Contact on the SETI Institute’s founder, Jill Tarter. And we both love the search for life beyond Earth!

    One locale that few scientists have considered for life is the set of rings that crown Jupiter, outside the gas giant's atmosphere. These rings, like those that circle all of our solar system's gas giants, are actually belts composed mainly of water-ice particles, some as small as grains of sand, others as large as mountains. Might life exist there?

    If Hollywood has taught us anything, finding alien life could bring humanity together – albeit hopefully in more of a philosophical way, rather than to fight a hostile invasion.

    Bill Diamond, president and CEO of the SETI Institute, certainly hopes so.

    ‘You don’t see politics, boundaries and ethnicities from space,’ he says. ‘Maybe such a discovery would offer us a different perspective on what it’s like to be human.’
