Chinese scientists claim to have discovered what they believe to be the traces of an extraterrestrial civilization's signal, per Bloomberg. As part of their quest for proof of aliens, the researchers recently found strange signals from space and are working to figure out what they are.

NASA announced that they will spend $100,000 on a 9-month study to better understand UFOs. The study will be conducted by astrophysicist David Spergel, former chair of the astrophysics department at Princeton University.

After a recently concluded analysis, scientists now claim an extra-terrestrial stone found 25 years ago in an Egyptian desert is the first evidence on earth of a rare supernova explosion outside of our solar system. Researchers from the University of Johannesburg’s science faculty have concluded that the space rock, which they named “Hypatia,” is a remnant of a type la supernova.

In case you missed the blood moon last night here it is.

My time-lapse camera did not do well during the lunar eclipse. I had to switch to another camera at the last minute. So the moon time-lapse is what I am calling my moon silent film.

Will there be life on other planets? This is the question we have been asking ourselves for thousands of years. And it is something that scientists do not rule out, since there are organisms that survive water scarcity, extreme cold, and heat, at high altitudes... However, could human beings live on another planet?
