Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. You may notice that this and future entries are shorter than usual; career, family and book deal commitments have forced me to cut back some of my projects. Now, here's today's news:
g STARS -New simulations show that stars like the sun can migrate great distances over time. The study may challenge the idea that galaxies have 'habitable zones' that are more suited for life than other areas. See article.
g ABODES -NASA announced Monday that it will send the unmanned Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft to find out why the planet lost most of its atmosphere billions of years ago. See article.
g MESSAGE -The venerable Planetary Society hopes to take the search for extraterrestrial life to the stars with space-based platforms. See article. Note: This article is from 2004.
g LEARNING - There may be numerous intelligent civilizations on planets throughout our galaxy. That's the hypothesis driving SETI research. We seek evidence of extraterrestrial technology using optical and radio telescopes to search for signals that emanate from other civilized worlds. These places are far, far away. But, when discussing the search with school children, they often simply ask, "Why don't we just go there?" This can be a teachable moment. See article. Note: This article is from 2003.
g AFTERMATH - Philosophers and former politicians will soon join an elite group of scientists whose job it is to work out how to respond to signals from extra-terrestrial intelligence. See article.
MARCH 12, 2013 - SPACE - NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has discovered a pair of stars that has taken over the title for the third-closest star system to the sun. The duo is the closest star system discovered since 1916. Both stars in the new binary system are "brown dwarfs," which are stars that are too small in mass to ever become hot enough to ignite hydrogen fusion. As a result, they are very cool and dim, resembling a giant planet like Jupiter more than a bright star like the sun.
"The distance to this brown dwarf pair is 6.5 light-years -- so close that Earth's television transmissions from 2006 are now arriving there," said Kevin Luhman, an associate professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State University, University Park, Pa., and a researcher in Penn State's Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds. "It will be an excellent hunting ground for planets because the system is very close to Earth, which makes it a lot easier to see any planets orbiting either of the brown dwarfs."
The star system is named "WISE J104915.57-531906" because it was discovered in an infrared map of the entire sky obtained by WISE. It is only slightly farther away than the second-closest star, Barnard's star, which was discovered 6 light-years from the sun in 1916. The closest star system consists of: Alpha Centauri, found to be a neighbor of the sun in 1839 at 4.4 light-years away, and the fainter Proxima Centauri, discovered in 1917 at 4.2 light-years.
Edward (Ned) Wright, the principal investigator for the WISE satellite at UCLA, said, "One major goal when proposing WISE was to find the closest stars to the sun. WISE J1049-5319 is by far the closest star found to date using the WISE data, and the close-up views of this binary system we can get with big telescopes like Gemini and the future James Webb Space Telescope will tell us a lot about the low-mass stars known as brown dwarfs."
The results will be published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. For more information go to HTTP://WWW.NASA.GOV/WISE and HTTP://WISE.ASTRO.UCLA.EDU AND HTTP://JPL.NASA.GOV/WISE. - DAILY GALAXY.

Despite what the movies tell us, any aliens that visit Earth probably wont want to enslave or vaporize us, veteran E.T. hunter Jill Tarter says.Hostile aliens abound at the multiplex these days, terrorizing our planet in films such as "Battleship" and "Men in Black 3." But science fiction is probably far from reality in its depiction of Earth-contacting extraterrestrials, said Tarter, who announced Monday (May 22) that shes retiring after spending 35 years scanning the heavens for signals from intelligent life beyond Earth."If aliens were able to visit Earth, that would mean they would have technological capabilities sophisticated enough not to need slaves, food or other planets," Tarter, who is stepping down as director of the Center for SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Research at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, Calif., said in a statement.Tarters confidence in aliens benign intentions puts her at odds with famed British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, who has warned that extraterrestrial civilzations may venture our way to strip-mine our planet for resources.Read more >>

It appears that everything has been leading up to this: Official disclosure of extraterrestrial life is imminent
According to the Honolulu Exopolitics Examiner, An official announcement by the Obama administration disclosing the reality of extraterrestrial life is imminent. For several months, senior administration officials have been quietly deliberating behind closed doors how much to disclose to the world about extraterrestrial life.
I would have to say that with UFO sightings being ubiquitous and stories of encounters of the 3rd. kind rampant, this is a distinct possibility except that we have all heard lots of cries of wolf among the sheep for the last 40 years.
Of course recently the UK's Telegraph ran a story based on Colin Andrews research.
The Silbury Hill Stargate?
Apparently the Wiltshire Police constabulary saw the figures standing in a field near Silbury Hill, and stopped his car to investigate He said; 'They ran faster than any man I have ever seen. I'm no slouch but they were moving so a crop circle near Silbury Hill. The policeman was off-duty when he saw the figures standing in a field near Silbury Hill, and stopped his car to investigate.
Europa
You may remember that back on Oct. 9th news came out that Europa's Ocean Has Oxygen, May Support Life Jupiter's moon Europa is flowing with a buried liquid water ocean that contains much more oxygen than previously thought - enough to possibly support life. In fact at that time Jupiter was stationing and ready to move direct on October 12th. Even though the
story focused on the global ocean on Europa, ET disclosure seems like the real agenda.
In fact looking back on this same day Friday October 9th when Mars-S Node were conjunctand the moon bombing happened. NASA and space researcher, Richard Hoagland, has publicly come forward to reveal that the October 9, LCROSS 'bombing' mission of the moon, discovered an ancient base at the moon's South Pole. Reviewing the scientific data achieved by NASA's LCROSS mission, Hoagland concluded, also on the popular late night Coast to Coast AM radio show, that "LCROSS is part of a carefully constructed campaign to prepare the populace for imminent disclosure.
Yes htere is a possibility that we are all being primed for an official announcement of
disclosure that EBE's Extra Biological Entitities are already here.
How generous of the TPTP - How Jupiterean to tell us and create myths.
This Europa story focused on the global ocean on Jupiter's Moon which contains about twice the liquid water of all the Earth's oceans combined. Life is oxygen and in this case a hundred times more oxygen than previously estimated which triggers our subconscious to consider the possibility of life thriving outside blue-green jewel of a planet.
Jupiter is Prominent in both Discovery and Disclosure
Today's Moon in Sagittarius is sextile Jupiter as Mercury is separating from giant planet of expansion and adventure. Jupiter is appplying to the third conjunction with Neptune (Dec. 21st) which motivate people toward the exploration of new territories...
Knowledge of exoplanets is expanding. Just one day after Monday's massive find when astronomers announced the discovery of 32 new exoplanets, the basic ingredients for life have been found around a second extrasolar planet, scientists reported Tuesday. Exoplanetary scientists are learning more and more about the systems in which the planets are found.
Life Ingredients Found on Extrasolar Gas Giant Wired Science
These discoveries are made during a time when Jupiter now direct in Aquarius is trine Mercury to expand our
knowledge of the universe. Moon entered Sagittarius on Tuesday and HD 209458b, a hot Jupiter that orbits very close to its sunlike star was determined to support life. It's located 150 light years away in the Pegasus constellation. In December of last year, Jet Propulsion Laboratory astronomer Mark Swain and his team found a similar Jupiter-like planet, HD 189733b, with carbon dioxide in its atmosphere.
"Detecting organic compounds in two exoplanets now raises the possibility that it will become commonplace to find planets with molecules that may be tied to life," Swain said in a press release.

Since 12 April 1961, when Yuri Gagarin became the first human being to leave the Earth's atmosphere in a spacecraft, 524 people have followed him up into the great dark. But in the next 10 years, that figure is on course to skyrocket. The majority of new astronauts, however, won't be created by a Nasa project, the Russian Federal Space Agency or any other governmental superpower.
Private companies, and the holiday funds of multi-millionaires, are expected to fuel the new commercial space age. So far there have only been seven space tourists, all of whom have gone into orbit courtesy of Space Adventures. The American company has brokered deals between private citizens and such organisations as the Russian Federal Space Agency, charging between 20 million and 35 million for return trips aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft and stays on the International Space Station. The new wave of space passengers, however, will experience a lower type of altitude: suborbital space flight. They will be propelled skywards just beyond the K'arm'an line, 62 miles above sea level on a trajectory that arcs briefly into space before returning to the launch site without completing an orbit. There is no real dividing line between space and the atmosphere - rather, the atmosphere becomes gradually thinner - but most people, including the F'ed'eration A'eronautique Internationale, agree the K'arm'an line marks the start of outer space.
These flights might not reach the altitude of the International Space Station (orbiting at about 236 miles above sea level), but passengers will experience weightlessness, see the curvature of the Earth and get a view that stretches out over 1,000 miles of the planet's surface.

Fit for human habitation Zones Practical Red Dwarf Stars Minor than Rather than Supposition
New research suggests that the "habitable zone" around for sure kinds of stars is less important than beforehand consideration.
Artistic set phrase of five recognizable sway habitable worlds by way of Gliese 581g. Credit: The Fit for human habitation Exoplanets Catalog, PHL @ UPR Arecibo"A newly published study reveals that habitable zones regarding red dwarf stars may be less important than beforehand consideration. The researchers bad deal that the exoplanets orbiting the red dwarfs may be frequently indirect by icy crusts, save for distantly lobster-shaped load on their day sides. Overseas planets rotating the most communal stars in the universe may commonly allow baffling lobster-shaped load on their surfaces, researchers in China doll now say. These upshot sign the habitable zones where life as we have appreciation for it force suspension around these stars is less important than beforehand consideration, scientists extend.Despite the consequences the pace of discovery of planets secluded our solar system, the dream of life outdated skeleton vanishingly inconsequential.
Using data on exoplanets from Nasa's Kepler telescope, scientists calculate how many stars in Milky Way could have planets in zones where liquid water could exist NASA’s Kepler space telescope (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/space/6934343/Nasa-telescope-detects-five-planets-outside-the-solar-system.html), launched in 2009 to search for so-called “exoplanets” (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/space/10664272/Nasas-planet-hunting-telescope-finds-715-new-planets-outside-solar-system.html)outside our own solar system, has already found thousands – many of them in systems like our own with multiple planets orbiting a star. Using this data, researchers from the Australian National University and the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen attempted to calculate how many stars in the Milky Way could have planets in their habitable zones where liquid water could exist – the prerequisite for life whether primitive or complex. “The calculations show that billions of the stars in the Milky Way will have one to three planets in the habitable zone, where there is the potential for liquid water and where life could exist,” said a statement from the Niels Bohr Institute.

Backup in 2010, the alien invasion film SKYLINE"integrated real news stories appearing in its marketing objection. The classified ad for the film begins subsequent to determined publication in opposition to a limitless solidify reading: "ON Dignified 28, 2009, NASA SENT A Log Happening Halt Slight THAN WE Habitually Idea Viable IN AN Work out TO Move Extraterrestrial Verve."This is honest. On the date several, the Australian government, amid its "So long from Hole" science understanding, and subsequent to the competent of NASA, sent several 26,000 (conscientiously vetted) messages from the ancestors to the extra-solar Earth-like planet Gliese 581d in a release dissemination. This proactive future to alien contact well-known as METI (Messaging Extraterrestrial Hearsay) differs from the agree passive future favoured by SETI (Tunnel for Extraterrestrial Hearsay), which devotes its efforts candidly to listening for any swear inmost alien signals.
The METI future is unsettled as several scientists trade name it impulsive to superciliously recognize our phantom in the galaxy to any potentially technologically elder civilizations. In April 2010, Instructor Stephen Hawking through international headlines by stating his business possibility that consideration should follow a line of investigation to prevaricate extraterrestrial contact: "To my algebraic brain, the kick out in isolation become sign about aliens rightly exhibition," Hawking held, but beyond, knowingly, "If aliens consistently perceive us, I glance the point would be widely as because Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't result in out very well for the American Indians." Hawking optional that aliens "coerce exist in immense ships, having second hand up all the instrument from their put up planet" and would maybe be "looking to defeat and colonise at all planets they can form."
"SKYLINE" was a box-office failure, panned by critics. Nonetheless this, Peter Berg has opt for to integrate the "dangers of METI" apparition appearing in his future mega-movie, "BATTLESHIP"(which was shaped subsequent to the Comprehensive Substantiate OF THE US Cobalt).
