Scientists search for signs of alien life on a visitor from another solar system

3I/ATLAS is the third known interstellar object – leading to suggestions that it could be an alien spacecraft

The Independent UK

If 3I/ATLAS isn’t an alien probe, why is it silent on radio signals but rich in methane from another star system?

If 3I/ATLAS isn’t an alien probe, its discovery may be even more important. Scientists detected no radio signals from the interstellar comet despite an extensive search for technosignatures. Instead, the James Webb Space Telescope found unusually high methane and carbon dioxide levels. Those findings suggest 3I/ATLAS formed in a vastly…

Scientists used a method from ecology to identify whether icy moons could hold conditions for life

New observatories and spacecraft missions are probing environments in our solar system that could potentially host life but have long remained hidden. Icy moons like Saturn’s Enceladus and Jupiter’s Europa likely contain oceans beneath frozen outer shells. But a layer of ice prohibits space probes from sampling them directly.
