NASA’s SPARCS spacecraft has just sent back its first images, marking a major milestone in the mission to study low-mass stars and their potential to host habitable planets. Launched in January 2026, ...

A new study by the SETI Institute suggests that the alien signals might be right here, surrounding us all of the time, and we're just unable to pick them out.

For four decades, many SETI experiments have focused on finding sharp spikes in frequency but the new study says signals may not stay narrow as they travel away from their home system.

A visitor from another star system is creating excitement in the astronomy community. The comet 3I/ATLAS which was first spotted in July 2025 contains chemical clues that scientists can use to ...

New SETI research suggests space weather like solar winds could be interfering with alien radio signals, making them harder ...

Radio silence has long puzzled those searching for extraterrestrial intelligence, but the answer might lie much closer to the source of potential signals than previously thought. Conditions around ...

Sandra Hüller also stars in Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s sci-fi epic based on the Andy Weir novel about a science teacher who finds an unusual ally in a mission to save two worlds.

Turbulent plasma near distant stars could blur ultra-narrow signals before they leave their home star systems - making them difficult to detect.

Comets are often treated as leftovers, but sometimes the leftovers become the primary focus. That is the case with 3I/ATLAS, only the third known interstellar object seen crossing the solar system, ...

A new study shows that stars with low magnetic activity are likely to support exoplanetary systems, making the hunt for these ...

Stellar plasma can smear alien radio signals before they escape their star system, making them harder for astronomers to detect.

In Amiri’s calculations, Dyson spheres around white dwarfs tend to produce cooler, fainter thermal emission that peaks in the near- to mid-infrared, while M-dwarf cases can radiate more strongly but ...
