Unlocking Insights Into Asteroid Impact Risks
To comprehensively understand asteroid impact risks, scientists have relied on limited data sources, including all-sky video camera systems, scattered dashcams, and eyewitness accounts. Now, a collaboration led by Dr. Jeffrey Smith, a data scientist at the SETI Institute, in partnership with NASA, Sandia National Labs and the University of California, Berkeley, is pioneering an innovative approach. By repurposing data from weather satellites operated by the National Ocean and Atmospheric Admini…

Making Contact With Tharg Of Proxima Centauri B (Seti "Live")
Incredible! SETI Live brings you an exclusive interview with an extraterrestrial! But as suspected, first contact is with aliens located light years away, and not in the corn field down the road.  Unfortunately,  a light year (or four) is a  long way for a message to travel – expect a bit of a time lag in your interstellar chat!

“The Big One”
The ground shakes. Paintings tilt. Walls crack. Rubble may fall. On Earth, we understand how and where these events happen due to the discovery of plate tectonics – the continental crust’s creation, movement, and destruction. However, when astronauts placed seismometers on the lunar surface during NASA’s Apollo mission era, those instruments recorded quakes on the Moon. In the 1970s, the Viking landers also recorded quakes on the surface of Mars. Since neither of these worlds has plate tectonic…
