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 - Violent explosions on the sun erupt on a phenomenal scale – one that envelopes the entire star – and are linked by massive magnetic threads that stretch across hundreds of thousands of miles, a new study finds. See article.
g Abodes - An international team of astronomers has discovered and imaged a fourth giant planet outside our solar system, a discovery that further strengthens the remarkable resemblances between a distant planetary system and our own. See article.
g Life - In the wake of controversy over the possible discovery of arsenic-eating life recently — a finding that could expand the bounds of what scientists think life is capable of — a basic question perhaps deserves revisiting: Just what, exactly, is life? See article.
g Intelligence - The ability to tolerate aggression is partly genetic, UCLA life scientists report in the first study to demonstrate a genetic component to a social network trait in a non-human population. See article.
g Aftermath - Even if the public seems less than awestruck by the prospect that alien life is a bunch of microscopic bugs, astrobiologists say unequivocal discovery of microbial life beyond Earth will change human society in profound ways, some unfathomable today. See article. This article is from 2001.
