Addressing an international audience on the opening day of Rio Innovation Week 2026 on Tuesday, August 4, Brazilian theoretical physicist Marcelo Gleiser and American astronomer Jill Tarter converged at Pier Mauá to examine one of science’s most enduring questions: Are we alone in the universe? https://www.bocaratontribune.com/bocaratonnews/2026/08/are-we-alone-in-the-universe-renowned-physicist-and-seti-pioneer-challenge-cosmic-solitude-at-rio-innovation-week-2026/#seti #space #science

stiripesurse.ro spoke with Dr. Vishal Gajjar, Associate Director of International SETI Programs at the SETI Institute in California, one of the world's leading organizations dedicated to the search for intelligence beyond Earth. The conversation explored what scientists are actually looking for, whether humanity should actively transmit messages into space, and how we might respond if a signal were ever received.

They did not find conclusive proof, but the real Science was the things they discovered along the way, the False Positives were interesting freaks in their own right. https://www.sciencealert.com/jwst-just-examined-two-stars-suspected-of-harboring-dyson-spheres-heres-what-it-found #SETI #Science #Astrodon #Space #DysonSpheres #JWST

Now I'm thinking about firing micro black holes into white dwarfs for some "Dark Forest" shenanigans... https://scitechdaily.com/invisible-black-holes-could-be-triggering-supernovae/ #Astrodon #SETI #Space #PBHs

Dr. B. Sargent studies the evolution of protoplanetary and debris disks into planetary systems, as well as mass loss from evolved stars, learning how mass is produced by evolved stars and other sources and consumed during star formation. #Physics #Astronomy #Space #Science #SETI #NotJustAliens

Update. Here's a great example of reusing older #data, this time for the original purpose. Scientists retrieved unpublished data from the 1977 "Wow!" signal captured by the #Arecibo radio telescope as part of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (#SETI), reanalyzed it with modern tools, and improved our understanding of where it came from and what might have caused it.

Whoa! I just watched a video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MupWm6_2Svg titled "3I/ATLAS Just RESPONDED Using Non-Human Syntax" recorded by Michio Kaku about the interstellar object 3I/Atlas. It's 16:55 minutes in length He provides a report of what happened, describes what his team is doing, but also add quite a bit of conjecture about what it could mean, and what it's all about. The video was only posted 2026 Jan 12 (19 hours ago), so this news is very fresh #science #seti #astrophysics #astronomy
