But just how unpleasant has become the subject of renewed debate among planetary scientists trying to understand the planet's enigmatic topography. See article.

g Cosmicus - What can scientists hope to learn in the coming decade about the most basic questions about the cosmos and our place in it - from extraterrestrial life to the evolution of the Universe - while keeping to an earthbound budget? See article.
g Aftermath - If we establish communication with a civilization even as close as 100 light years from Earth, the round-trip time for a message and its reply is 200 years. What will be the psychology of a civilization that can engage in a meaningful conversation with this sort of delay? How is such a conversation to be established? What should the content of such a conversation be? These are the questions which motivate the title: "Minds and Millennia: The Psychology of Interstellar Communication".
