We have long been fascinated with the idea of alien life. The earliest written record presenting the idea of “aliens” is seen in the satiric work of Assyrian writer Lucian of Samosata dated A.D. 200. In one novel, Lucian writes of a journey to the Moon and the bizarre life he imagines living there — ...
We all know that more than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans and less than 30 percent is land. Remarkably, the vast oceans, which occupy the largest area of the planet, are almost completely unknown to us. In fact, according to experts, it is likely that we know less than 5 ...
What exactly happened on Mars? What other amazing secrets were discovered during the recent investigations by the U.S., and what was hidden inside that huge pyramid? Why has it been kept from us all these years?
The skies have been scanned for decades, looking for any messages from aliens. While there have been a few exciting moments, they have all failed. Scientists from a San Francisco-based organization called Messaging Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (METI) believe we have gone about this wrong. METI’s work METI targets nearby stars and also rethinks the nature of the ...
In 2011, NASA successfully launched the Curiosity rover into space, and after an 8 month flight, it finally landed on Mars. NASA was delighted at the time, because according to previous research, Mars was the closest Earth-like planet in the solar system and they wanted to find out if Mars would be able to, one day, support ...

If extraterrestrial intelligence exists somewhere in our galaxy, a new MIT study proposes that lasers on Earth could, in principle, be fashioned into something of a planetary porch light — a beacon strong enough to attract attention from as far as 20,000 light-years away. The research, which author James Clark calls a “feasibility study,” appears ...
A distinct lack of the chemical element phosphorus in other parts of the Universe could make it very difficult for extra-terrestrial life to exist there. This is according to experts at Cardiff University, who have found very little evidence of the element — which is essential to life on Earth — around the Crab Nebula, ...
Due to Hollywood films and science fiction novels, most of us believe that aliens would come in the form of monster-like beings very different to humans. However, new research suggests we could have more in common with extra-terrestrials than we think. For the first time, researches have used evolutionary theory to support alien predictions and ...
