It's the same with all information though isn't it? We should never completely believe anything we read or hear without checking it.

We are still waiting for this to happen but as it is over 600 light years away it could have happened anytime in the past 600 odd years and we still haven't seen it. Keep looking up but personally as I do astrophotgraphy I hope it will not be visible soon.

Anyone ever wondered why the Moon glows so much? It's not quite as straightforward as it seems. The Moon doesn’t produce its own light. Instead, it reflects light from the Sun. The amount of light it reflects, known as its albedo, is about 12% of the sunlight that hits it. This makes the Moon...

Since I was very young I have believed that all three time states may exist. Present, past and future. What if they are all happening right now? I don't think it's unreal to suggest this. Our consciousness is here in the present but what if the past and the future are just as real as the...

The US government has always taken UFOs seriously but caught to distract us with misinformation and ridcule so that we don't take it seriously. Things are slowly beginning to change which is very positive. Time for some disclosure.

It takes more than observations, of which many are needed, and "facts" which are extrapolated from observations to confirm that a theory is wrong. There is always resistance from the scientific community when a theory is so widely accepted. It will take time and much scientific observation and...

I've got clear skies and I must say this is a wonderful sight! I wish the clouds will part for you too so you can witness this for yourself.

All this speculation and in time we will develop new theories that get closer to reality, whatever that is. We are always mostly wrong and it is normal that theories will change. One day I am hopeful that we will begin to understand about creation which we know nothing about at present.

I really wonder why any aliens would send a repeatable signal. If they are far advanced in terms of technology they must have solved many issues we haven't such as the answer to the question of alien life out there and would therefore be aware of the risks of sending messages to others. It is...

One thing that has not been mentioned but seems fairly important, is that the most important aspect to all this is having the technology to detect and analyse an alien signal. This may answer the Fermi Paradox because we just may not be able to recognize or find those signals yet and even if we...

I've been wondering about SETI's requirement that a signal must repeat before it is considered as proof of an alien or artificial source. If a signal, and we have apparently received several, does not repeat could it not be worth further investigation?

Hi all, been posting for about a week and was impressed with the level of knowledge on this forum. I'd like to introduce myself... I am Karl and I am an amateur astrophotographer. You can check out some of my best images on My Instagram. My space interests are obviously astrophotography but I...

We are basically hypothesizing without enough information. I believe, but don't know for sure, that aliens are either already here observing or that they visited in the past. If we take everything our governments say to us at face value and do not question, we deduce we have no signs of aliens...

Is there any real reason to believe that if there are intelligent beings out there, and I believe there must be, why would they use radio to communicate?
