SETI Uses Radio Frequencies to Look for Alien Life in More Than 1,000 Galaxies
Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) recently conducted a search of more than 1,300 galaxies for signs of alien life using unexplored low radio frequencies. The search was reportedly performed using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), a radio telescope located in the Australian outback. This effort targeted radio frequencies in the 80...

Scientists Explore if the Mysterious ‘Wow!’ Signal in 1977 Come From a Sun-Like Star 1,800 Light-Years Away
A study recently published on May 6 indicates that the signal likely came from a Sun-like star located 1,800 light-years away from the Earth, in the constellation Sagittarius. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), which has been looking for intelligent lifeforms in the universe, is still studying the signal.

NASA's Planet Hunting Telescope Joins Search for Intelligent Aliens
Scientists working on NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) have teamed up with Breakthrough Listen, an extraterrestrial intelligence search founded in 2015 by Russian billionaire and internet pioneer Yuri Milner.

Saturn's Moons May Be Younger Than Dinosaurs: Study
By comparing present orbital tilts and those predicted by computer simulations, researchers could learn how much the orbits of Saturn's moons grew.

Moons Of Saturn May Be Younger Than Dinosaurs: Study
Some of Saturn's icy moons as well as its famous rings might be modern adornments, and their dramatic birth may have taken place a mere hundred million years ago, more recent than the reign of many dinosaurs, a new study suggests.

That 'Alien Megastructure' Orbiting a Distant Star is Probably Just a Bunch of Comets
If you were still holding out hope for aliens hanging out around KIC 8462852, I've got some bad news for you. Researchers at Iowa State University think they've found an explanation for the star's weird behavior. Spoiler alert: It's not aliens.

No Radio Signals From That 'Alien Megastructure' Yet - But Scientists are Listening
SETI institute scientists have turned their radio telescopes to listen to a star that many hope might hold signs of intelligent alien life -- but so far, no one is sending any signals our way.

No, We Haven't Discovered Alien Megastructures Around a Distant Star
Years ago, in the Pleistocene, I spoke with the great physicist Freeman Dyson about the search for extraterrestrial intelligence in the universe. He posited that we'd find the aliens with our telescopes - that we'd see something that was not natural.

Tracking Pollution in Space a New Approach to Finding Aliens
A study by Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) noted it is possible to spot the fingerprints of certain pollutants under ideal conditions.

Search for aliens is on again, but next quest is finding money
Operating on money and equipment scrounged from the public and from Silicon Valley millionaires, and on the stubborn strength of their own dreams, a band of astronomers recently restarted one of the iconic quests of modern science, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence - SETI, for short - which had been interrupted last year by a lack of fin...
