The interstellar object—named “Oumuamua”—was first observed through the Pan-STARRS telescope at Hawaii’s Haleakala Observatory […]
A newly published study suggests the Milky Way galaxy could contain alien civilizations, though there’s a strong possibility most of them are already dead. Researchers from the California Institute of Technology, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Santiago High School used an expanded version of the famous Drake Equation, which determined the odds of extraterrestrial intelligence existing in our galaxy. The […]
