Scientists Give A Hand(edness) In Search For Aliens
Washington DC (SPX) Apr 27, 2009Visiting aliens may be the stuff of legend, but if a scientific team working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is right, we may be able to find extraterrestrial life even before it leaves its home planet-by looking for left- (or right-) handed light. The technique the team has developed* for detecting life elsewhere in the universe will not spot aliens directly. ... read more *New* Comments: 0 Ancient Ecosystem Thrives Millions Of Years Below Antarctic Glacier 
Bozeman MT (SPX) Apr 22, 2009Scientists have found an ancient ecosystem below an Antarctic glacier and learned that it survived millions of years by transforming sulfur and iron compounds for growth. Described in the latest issue of Science, the ecosystem lives without light or oxygen in a pool of brine trapped below Taylor Glacier and next to frozen Lake Bonney in eastern Antarctica, said John Priscu, co-author of th ... read more *New* Comments: 0 Alien Safari Part Six: Generations 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Mar 31, 2009Q: We believe life on Earth spontaneously arose in a liquid environment. If we find subsurface alien life in a more or less solid environment, does that imply it first may have started in liquid on the planet's surface and then, when conditions got extreme, it found refuge beneath the surface? T.C. Onstott: Right, but the alternative is the possibility that there are multiple origins of li ... read more *New* Comments: 0 Confessions Of An Alien Hunter 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Mar 24, 2009The search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI, turns 50 years old this year. By scanning the cosmic radio dial, it has forged a scientific beachhead into the mystery of whether we are alone in the universe. One of its main disciples has written a book chronicling the history and offering an apologia as to why it is a worthy cause. As senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, Seth Sh ... read more *New* Comments: 0 NASA Scientists Find Clues To A Secret Of Life 
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Mar 19, 2009NASA scientists analyzing the dust of meteorites have discovered new clues to a long-standing mystery about how life works on its most basic, molecular level. "We found more support for the idea that biological molecules, like amino acids, created in space and brought to Earth by meteorite impacts help explain why life is left-handed," said Dr. Daniel Glavin of NASA's Goddard Space Flight ... read more *New* Comments: 0 |
