The Truth Is Out There
On Wednesday, David Grusch, a former military intelligence officer, told a House Oversight subcommittee that all those stories you’ve read on the internet are true: The government has debris collected from crashed alien spacecraft. He also told the assembled lawmakers that federal retrieval teams have collected biological remains from alien bodies.

Global Effort To Decipher ‘A Sign In Space Continues’
On May 24, 2023, SETI Institute Artist-in-Residence Daniela De Paulis launched her revolutionary piece of global theater, A Sign in Space. De Paulis collaborated with an international and interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, artists, outreach professionals and more to explore the process of decoding and interpreting an extraterrestrial message. This process required global cooperation, bridging a conversation around SETI, space research and society across multiple cultures and areas…

Record-Breaking Team Of Citizen Scientists Contribute Data On Pinwheel Galaxy Supernova
July 11, 2023, Mountain View, CA - In an unprecedented achievement, citizen scientists have set a new record for the SETI Institute and Unistellar, comprising the highest number of observers providing data on a single event. Amateur astronomers participating in the SETI Institute’s and Unistellar’s Cosmic Cataclysms program conducted a groundbreaking observation of supernova (SN) 2023ixf. The observations, which began just one hour after the supernova’s first known appearance, have generated th…

The Race To Mars
The race to Mars has intensified, with space agencies like NASA, ESA, CNSA, and private space companies planning to send humans to the Red Planet. This endeavor holds significant implications for astrobiology and planetary protection. In a commentary published today in Nature Astronomy, Cornell University's Visiting Scientist, Alberto G. Fairén, and Nathalie Cabrol, Director of the SETI Institute's Carl Sagan Center, shed light on these implications and propose a way forward.

Black Hole Jets’ X-Ray Emissions Challenge Leading Theory
Black hole jets are known to emit X-rays, but how they accelerate particles to this high-energy state is still a mystery. A new study published in Nature Astronomy, “Variability of extragalactic X-ray jets on kiloparsec scales”, found that the X-ray emissions of a statistically significant number of jets varied over just a few years, challenging one leading theory of how jets generate X-rays. The study analyzed archival data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and looked at nearly all of the bla…

Quest For Alien Signals In The Heart Of The Milky Way Takes Off
May 30, 2023, Mountain View, CA – Akshay Suresh, a graduate student at Cornell University, spearheads an extraordinary scientific endeavor -- a groundbreaking mission to uncover periodic signals emanating from the core of the Milky Way called the Breakthrough Listen Investigation for Periodic Spectral Signals (BLIPSS). Such repetitive patterns could be the key to unlocking the mysteries of extraterrestrial intelligence in our galaxy. Suresh and his co-authors detail the project’s results thus f…

Comet C/2023 A3’S Could Be The Next Great Comet
Earlier this year, shortly after the excitement of comet C/2022 E3, astronomers found another icy visitor grazing through their images. This comet, C/2023 A3 ( Tsuchinan-Atlas), was discovered independently by ATLAS in South Africa and Tsuchinsan Observatory in China - and given their namesake. But will this one be the great naked-eye comet of the decade we’ve been waiting for?
