Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:
g Stars - A census of 500 stars has successfully linked the 'lithium mystery' observed in our sun to the presence of planetary systems. The study shows that sun-like stars with planetary systems lack lithium, and could help astronomers identify more stars that host planets. See article.
g Abodes - Is there water on the Moon? The NASA LCROSS mission has determined the answer to be a resounding YES! See article.
g Message - There’s an intriguing set of four articles, each with a separate explanation of a different quantum phenomena, that when taken together form a mosaic needed to understand the final explanation of a proposed quantum astronomy experiment, possibly using the Allen Array Telescope and the narrow-band radio-wave detectors being build by the SETI Institute and the University of California, Berkeley. Here are the parts in the series: Part-I; Part-2; Part-3; and Part-4. Note: This series is from 2004.
g Cosmicus - With the shuttle program entering its final year of operation, engineers are readying Atlantis for launch Monday on a three-spacewalk mission to deliver 15 tons of spare parts and equipment to the International Space Station as a hedge against failures when the shuttle is no longer available for service calls. See article.
g Aftermath - The Catholic Church may have theological problems acknowledging some “miracles,” but not, it seems, the possibility of little green men. See editorial.
