Next #SETILive: Is Intelligent Life Easy?
TODAY, Thursday, Apr 24, 11:00 AM PDT
Join planetary astronomer Franck Marchis in an in-depth discussion with Dr. Dan Mills about why intelligent life may be common and how this could affect our search for life beyond Earth.

PRESS RELEASE: https://www.seti.org/press-release/seti-institute-launches-arise-lab-bringing-seti-and-radio-astronomy-community-colleges
The SETI Institute announced it will expand its pilot program funded through a grant from the Amateur Radio and Digital Communication (ARDC) Foundation, now called ARISE Lab (arise.seti.org). This initiative brings SETI science to community colleges and provides hands-on training for community college instructors and students in astronomy, digital signal processing, and radio science.
@Lazarou@mastodon.socialImpressive that not only can we see the light of a planet being destroyed but it's from a star system 13,000 light years away towards the core of the Galaxy!
If anybody does have a Death Star out there, the whole Galaxy will know about it eventually, it would be a statement....
@persagen@mastodon.social[tentative!] Is this a hint of life on another world, or just a lot of hot air?

The Drake Awards honor Frank Drake's bold spirit, scientific ingenuity, and enduring contributions to SETI and astrobiology. Since 2001—when Frank Drake became the first recipient—we’ve celebrated visionary scientists who expand the frontiers of our understanding of life in the cosmos.
We’re thrilled to invite you to The #DrakeAwards2025, taking place on May 20 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA, and streaming online.
"This work serves as a reminder that science isn’t just about finding answers—it’s also about asking the right questions and embracing uncertainty as part of the journey."

Big Picture Science for Mar 24, 2025: Disappearing Data
Firing federal workers and freezing grants has upended research institutions, prompting uncertainty about their futures. We look at the real-world impacts these policy changes may have for our mechanisms for collecting and sharing important data. An NIH grant recipient considers the future of her lab’s ability to do basic research, including studying complex diseases such as Alzheimer’s and heart disease. An interruption in reliable access to CDC data comes as highly contagious avian influenza continues to evolve and spread in the U.S. And what does the gutting of NOAA imply for collecting essential weather data, including those used to forecast hurricanes?
Guests:
* Kimberly Cooper – Developmental biologist at the University of California, San Diego
* Amy Maxmen – Public health reporter at KFF Health News
* Alan Sealls – Retired broadcast meteorologist, adjust professor at the University of South Alabama and president-elect of the American Meteorological Society
* Bernadette Woods Placky – Chief meteorologist and Climate Matters director at the nonprofit organization, Climate Central

Centauri Dreams is much better, I should be reading that instead of wasting time with that PT Barnum of SETI....
Excited to launch the next season of #Cosmoimaginaries. Tomorrow we begin with a presentation from Gabriela Radulescu:

ZoomNASA have written this up here: https://www.nasa.gov/universe/exoplanets/webb-discovers-methane-carbon-dioxide-in-atmosphere-of-k2-18-b/
“The abundance of methane and carbon dioxide, and shortage of ammonia, support the hypothesis that there may be a water ocean underneath a hydrogen-rich atmosphere in K2-18 b. These initial #Webb observations also provided a possible detection of a molecule called dimethyl sulfide (DMS). On Earth, this is only produced by life. The bulk of the DMS in Earth’s atmosphere is emitted from phytoplankton in marine environments.”

NASAIf aliens are using lasers to communicate with each other, or trying to send a message to us Earthlings, there’s a good chance the instruments on Richard Factor’s roof will detect them.
But only if the night sky over Sedona is clear.
“This is one of my big hopes, big hobbies, big aspirations — to discover space aliens,” Factor said.
It’s why he offered his rooftop to host one of several optical instruments that form the growing LaserSETI network.
Big Picture Science for Mar 17, 2025: Amazing Arctic
What’s it like to live on a block of ice, especially when it thaws? An environment writer shares his forty-year experience in the Arctic, including the time a paddling polar bear tracked him on a river. He describes the stunning beauty of America’s last truly wild place and the dramatic changes to the landscape he recently witnessed. Recent research has backed up his eyewitness accounts, as an arctic scientist presents the latest data collected from a part of world warming four times faster than the rest of the planet.
Guests:
* Jon Waterman – Author of Into the Thaw: Witnessing Wonder Amid the Arctic Climate Crisis
* Twila Moon – Deputy Lead Scientist and Science Communication Liaison at the National Snow and Ice Data Center
