New Study Challenges Great Filter Theory, Suggests Life Evolves with Planetary Changes
A recent study argues that intelligent life does not emerge by sheer luck but evolves when planetary conditions become suitable. Researchers challenge the "great filter" concept, suggesting that Earth's changing geobiology influenced when life arose rather than a series of improbable events. This perspective shifts the focus to how planetary enviro...

Iron Age Artifacts in Poland Contain Rare Meteoric Iron, Study Finds
Recent research on Iron Age artifacts from Poland has confirmed the presence of meteoric iron in several ornaments. The study, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, analyzed 26 objects from Lusatian Culture sites, revealing that four contained ataxite meteorite material. Researchers suggest the iron was locally sourced rather...

New Study Suggests Intelligent Life May Be More Common Than Thought
A groundbreaking study challenges the long-held belief that intelligent life is rare, proposing that the emergence of complex life could be a natural outcome of planetary conditions. Researchers suggest that life evolves in response to planetary changes, rather than a series of improbable evolutionary leaps. This new model, led by experts in astrop...

Human-Like Lifeforms Beyond Earth? New Study Says It's More Likely Than We Thought
The research proposes that the emergence of humanity on Earth was not as improbable as previously thought, potentially increasing the likelihood of intelligent life existing on other planets.

Early Supernovas Could Have Created Water in the Universe, Paving the Way for Life 100 Million Years Post-Big Bang
A recent study suggests that supernova explosions, triggered by the death of early stars, could have created significant amounts of water just 100 million years after the Big Bang. Simulations of these early, massive stars show that their explosive deaths may have resulted in the formation of water molecules within the dense hydrogen and oxygen clo...

Antarctica’s Pyramid-Shaped Peak: A Geological Masterpiece
The pyramid-shaped mountain in Antarctica’s Ellsworth Mountains has captivated imaginations with its near-perfect symmetry. While conspiracy theories suggest ties to ancient civilizations or extraterrestrial construction, scientists explain the peak’s geometry as a result of freeze-thaw erosion over millions of years. This process has sculpted ...

New Study Reveals Incredible Microbial Life Deep Under Earth’s Surface
A groundbreaking study published in Science Advances has revealed the extensive microbial life thriving beneath Earth's surface. The research led by Emil Ruff uncovers diverse ecosystems at depths of up to 4,375 metres, challenging previous assumptions about energy limitations in deep environments. It also suggests that Earth's subsurface microbes ...

Astrobiologists Create Framework to Study Extraterrestrial Life Evolution
Astrobiologists are redefining the search for extraterrestrial life, focusing on evolution and complexity in physical systems. Methods include spectroscopy for detecting chemical signatures and frameworks exploring non-Earth biochemistry. Researchers are also investigating technosignatures and minerals linked to biological processes. A universal un...

NASA Investigates Ingenuity’s Last Flight, Explains Why it Crashed on its 72nd Flight
NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, initially planned for five flights, completed 72 missions, ending its journey on January 18, 2024. Its final flight encountered navigation challenges over Jezero Crater's featureless terrain, leading to rotor blade damage. Despite being grounded, Ingenuity continues contributing data to Mars research. NASA is now...

Fastest-Moving Stars in the Galaxy May be Piloted by Aliens, New Study Suggests
A recent study proposes that advanced alien civilisations might utilise binary star systems, especially those involving neutron stars, as massive interstellar spacecraft. By ejecting material in specific directions, the stars could generate thrust, moving the system across the galaxy. Known hypervelocity stars with unusual accelerations are suggest...

No Verifiable Evidence of UFO Sightings But ‘Very Anomalous Objects’ Exist, Says US Government Agency
In a Senate testimony on November 19, Jon T. Kosloski, Director of the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), clarified that his office has not found any verifiable evidence to support the idea of extraterrestrial life or activity related to UAPs. While the majority of UAP reports have been linked to known objects, a small number r...

NASA’s Viking Mission May Have Destroyed Martian Life with Water Experiments
In 1975, NASA’s Viking mission tested Martian soil for microbial life using liquid water. A recent theory suggests this approach may have destroyed microbes adapted to Mars' dry, salt-driven conditions. Astrobiologist Dirk Schulze-Makuch proposes revisiting our assumptions about life on Mars and prioritising methods suited to its hyperarid enviro...

Father and Daughter Decode Mysterious Signal From Space: What Does It Mean?
In 2023, a cosmic puzzle was decoded by a father-daughter team of citizen scientists. The message, originating from Mars, reveals five amino acids. While the project simulated an extraterrestrial transmission, the meaning of these amino acids remains uncertain. Could they represent life? Or perhaps something more? This fascinating puzzle has ignite...
