Intelligent life outside the Earth, most likely, lurks not on the outskirts, like our planet, but in the centers of the Milky Way and other nearby galaxies, where there are more "building materials" for the emergence of technologically advanced civilizations, scientists say in the stat

There are thousands of planets outside the solar system, so the chances that some of them have the necessary conditions for life is very high

Having examined about 100,000 galaxies for signs of "advanced" civilizations, a team of researchers using scientific data obtained from NASA's WISE orbiting observatory in their work did not find any pronounced

A special e-mail will be sent to those space objects where there may be life forms comparable to humans

For a long time there has been an unspoken postulate of astrobiology that in the absence of confirmed alien technologies, it is necessary to come up with something for yourself.This is far from a frivolous exercise. Rather, it is an attempt to resolve one of the more confusing aspects of human existence, commonly referred to as the Fermi paradox

Scientist at Harvard University has suggested that the interstellar asteroid Oumuamua is a space sail - an alien probe that accelerates using the ion pressure of the solar wind

The largest radio telescope in the world, the Chinese radio observatory FAST, will study the extremely unusual star KIC 8462852 in the constellation Cygnus, whose unusual dimming and "blinking" may indicate the presence of an ultra-developed alien civilization in its vicinity

For more than 150 years, people have not stopped trying to contact representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations. Until now, there is no definitive evidence that someone tried to answer us. Nevertheless, many strange signals came from the great void, the origin of which researchers are still trying to explain

Of all the hypothetical objects in the universe predicted by scientific theories, black holes make the most eerie impression. And, although assumptions about their existence began to be expressed almost a century and a half before Einstein's publication of general relativity, convincing evidence of the reality of their existence was obtained quite recently

As long as mankind exists, so many epidemics of various diseases torment it. In the XIV century, according to statistics collected by order of Pope Clement IV, from the rampant "Great Black Death" - the plague - died 48 million people

As follows from the archives of Tobolsk, in the spring of 1906, patients with unusual clinical manifestations began to arrive at the provincial hospital: numerous abscesses on the skin of the face, neck and arms, high fever, convulsions, shortness of breath, general weakness

At the north pole of the moon, a mysterious structure was discovered, clearly of artificial origin

One day you will die. In seconds or in a thousand years, it doesn't matter. Your body and all of its components will cease to function and reunite with the Earth as an ordinary, lifeless material. The Earth will die too, engulfed in an expanding, aging Sun

For the first time, biologists from the United States studied the genomes of microbes living on the International Space Station and found that they are most similar to bacteria living on the surfaces of walls and furniture in apartments, according to an article published in the journal

They were lifted by convective currents for 400 kilometers

Tiny organisms travel through space thanks to the movement of dust particles - they are able to reach the most distant parts of the Universe and provoke the emergence of life in distant worlds

The staff of the Faculty of Biology of the Lomonosov Moscow State University simulated conditions of an increased radiation background in combination with low temperatures, close to the Martian ones, and studied the resistance of microorganisms to them

Terrestrial archaea, which produce methane, easily survive in Martian conditions, therefore, theoretically, this gas in the atmosphere of Mars may appear as a result of the activity of local microorganisms

Scientists at Harvard University have suggested that the mysterious cigar-shaped object that visited our solar system last year may be an alien spacecraft sent to explore the Earth

The American space agency NASA released a video in which it simulated the approach to our planet of the largest asteroid Florence, which, according to scientists, will occur on September 1. There is no threat to our planet, since the celestial body will fly over a distance of seven million kilometers

April 13, 2029 Apophis will pass at a minimum distance from the Earth. Scientists rule out the possibility of a collision of an asteroid and our planet during this period, but there is a possibility that due to the influence of gravity, its trajectory will change and a catastrophe may happen in 2036

After analyzing the footage produced by the German satellite MASCOT lander, scientists noticed that the surface of the asteroid Ryugu is dust-free.It is believed that the asteroid Ryugu was formed by the collapse of a larger body approximately 700 million years ago

NASA has already begun preparations for the arrival of the asteroid 99942 Apophis, named after the main "God of Chaos", sending a space mission to it.This near-Earth asteroid ((99942) Apophis) was discovered in 2004 at Kitt Peak Observatory in Arizona

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) prepares genetically modified organisms for the purpose of terraforming Mars - transforming it into a more habitable and Earth-like planet

The International Space Station, as it turned out, has become home to as yet unexplored bacteria, very similar to terrestrial bacteria of the genus Enterobacter

"Bacteria From space Can not be!" Russian cosmonauts find bacteria living on the outer surface of the International Space Station (ISS)

Scientists have found that some of the components found in the Martian soil can destroy entire bacterial cultures in just a few minutes

To what extent the collective human memory can store memories, people have always wondered if we are alone in the universe

As they say in books, "UV destroys DNA"

Astronomers have found that a specific type of radio wave, called chorus radiation, near Jupiter's satellites is amplified by a factor of almost a million compared to the surrounding space

The Earth may not be the only planet in the solar system where biological life exists - believe scientists from the United States of America who have concentrated on the search for extraterrestrial life

The surface of the giant volcanic lake Loki on the surface of Io, the most volcanic world in the solar system, is thrilled by two giant waves colliding off the island in the center of this magma ocean, scientists say in an article published in journal

A group of scientists led by Scott Sheppard from the Carnegie Institution (USA) discovered 12 new satellites of Jupiter, thus increasing the number of moons in the gas giant to 79

Jupiter's moon Callisto, according to NASA scientists, will be the first of 69 natural satellites of the gas giant that humans will colonize

The American space agency NASA has announced a competition for the best concept of experiments for the exploration program of Europa, the moon of Jupiter, on the surface of which a space probe will land

The Hubble Orbital Observatory has received new photographs of 100-kilometer geysers on the surface of Europa, originating in the same point of the planet where they were found three years ago, according to an article published in the Astrophysical Journal Letter

At the moment, there are three known large "reservoirs" on the surface of Titan. All of them are located close to the north pole of the moon of Jupiter and are surrounded by numerous small lakes. Only one large lake discovered in the southern hemisphere

According to one of the popular theories, Jupiter serves as a giant shield for the Earth, attracting wandering space debris left after the formation of the solar system.Former NASA employee Kevin Graser has been trying to debunk this theory for years

After twenty years of ups and downs, development and downsizing, scientists are on the cusp of sending missions to explore Europe's oceanic world. Could this be our best chance of finding life anywhere in the solar system?

Astronomers have found signs of water on Jupiter, according to an article in The Astronomical Journal
