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 - Astronomers have been given a glimpse of a "mysterious dark companion" in a distant solar system that has baffled fellow stargazers for nearly 200 years. See article.
g Abodes - Carl Sagan said that the weak rays of our Sun during Earth's early years should have created a planet ensconced in ice. Yet somehow Earth's temperature's been mostly constant, and above freezing. Now two Danish scientists think they know why. See article.
g Life - The enormous dragonflies, millipedes and other insects that lived 300 million years ago grew so large because of Earth's rich oxygen supply at the time. See article. Note: This article is from 2006.
g Message - How can scientists be sure they’ve picked up a signal from ETI, and not just the cosmic gurgle of a completely natural object? See article. Note: This article is from 2003.
g Cosmicus - Some travel agents have smartly reorganized their operations around Virgin Galactic's new plan to blast tourists into space from a rocket launch pad in New Mexico. See article.
