Have astronomers found another "alien megastructure" star? Scientists now have a second example of a strange stellar phenomenon speculatively linked to extraterrestrial intelligence in 2015. https://t.co/9g9piKWGG5 #TopScience2018
Could an industrial prehuman civilization have existed on Earth before ours? A provocative paper suggests some ways to find out. https://t.co/baJSa30gb3 #TopScience2018
Is humanity ready for the discovery of alien life? Most Americans would probably be thrilled to learn extraterrestrials (intelligent or not) exist. Other nationalities beg to differ. https://t.co/MqFJlXDLhe #TopScience2018
A new recipe for hunting aliens: for most life in the universe, oxygen might be a deadly poison. Surprisingly, that might make such creatures easier for astrobiologists to find. https://t.co/4rULyZEFTm #TopScience2018
