    DNA-busting radiation from star-killing supernova could have influenced evolution on Earth

    But a much better track record of their divergent species than land animals.

    DNA-busting radiation from star-killing supernova could have influenced evolution on Earth

    About the right time for hominin specification as well... Maybe it wasn't like the movie '2001: A Space Odyssey' after all!?

    Boeing plans to lay off hundreds of employees working on NASA's SLS moon rocket: reports

    Boeing should just get back to designing/manufacturing viable airplanes. It is obvious they don't have the competence to design/build a spaceship.

    AI may be to blame for our failure to make contact with alien civilizations

    Biological beings are not meant for extended space travel! However, AI entities are ideally suited for extended time in space and will probably be the 'aliens' exploring the Universe and the 'aliens' we'll encounter at some time in the future. Welcome to the new age of Homo Machinicus ( View...

    Extraterrestrial life may look nothing like life on Earth − so astrobiologists are coming up with a framework to study how complex systems evolve

    Extraterrestrial life may look nothing like life on Earth − so astrobiologists are coming up with a framework to study how complex systems evolve

    If a civilization survives past the Fermi Paradox it is very possible it will evolve into a pure energy form. We may be surrounded by 'aliens' and not even know it!?

    How the 'Great Filter' could explain why we haven't found intelligent aliens

    How the 'Great Filter' could explain why we haven't found intelligent aliens

    I suspect we're simply too technologically incompetent to detect other intelligent life forms in the galaxy/universe. Or they don't want to be detected by aggressive homo sapiens.

    I'm a pro astronomer and have been skywatching for over 25 years. These are the best Black Friday telescope deals I've seen so far

    I would have put the Vespera Pro well ahead of the Unistellar, which I reviewed and rejected. I consider the Vespera II as the best of Vaonis' smart telescopes with the Vaonis Classic and Stellina still being very much in the running!

    Night Sky, November 2024: What You Can See This Month [Maps]

    So why the "Night sky, October 2021: What you can see this month" title in the newsletter. Have I been transported back to 2021??

    AI is on the hunt for dark matter

    "this invisible substance that strangely makes up 85% of all matter in the universe" Yet another boondoggle for nonexistent dark matter...

    Will Boeing's Starliner astronauts ride a SpaceX Dragon home in 2025? NASA could decide next week

    Much better for Starliner to burn up on re-entry with no one onboard!

    Unistellar Odyssey review

    Go with a Vespera II or Pro from Vaonis and get a solid smart telescope.

    Gotta love it! And SpaceX is laughing all the way to the bank!!
