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?

The Genesis Lab
When Frank Drake penned his famous equation in 1961, he gave us a framework to estimate the number of detectable technological civilizations in our galaxy. Beginning with the number of potentially life-supporting planets orbiting stars, he added the term F sub l, “the fraction of suitable planets on which life appears.” Habitable planets or moons possessing liquid water at their surface are considered candidates to support life as we know it, but can these worlds support the spontaneous origin …

May 2, 2023, Mountain View, CA, Manchester, UK and Mauritius -- What would the Earth look like to an alien civilization located light years away? A team of researchers from Mauritius and Manchester University has used crowd-sourced data to simulate radio leakage from mobile towers and predict what an alien civilization might detect from various nearby stars, including Barnard's star, six light years away from Earth.

Seti Researchers From Around The Country Attend Three-Day Ata Workshop
In early April, leading SETI researchers gathered at the SETI Institute’s Allen Telescope Array (ATA) for an Observer Training Workshop. This is the first workshop since the ATA was refurbished and brought together the best minds in the search for life beyond Earth for three days of learning and collaboration.
