Astronomers detect 15 signals from a distant galaxy

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

The galaxy they were detected in is 3 billion light years away.

It's numbers and distances like that that make me believe that humanity will never encounter intelligent alien life.

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

you don't need to worry about aliens, the source is probably Magnetars

i'm still hoping we find out what's going on with Tabby's Star.

There's intelligent life here in our solar system

 

[RAX 010]

Its about damn time

 

[Breh13]

If there is any intelligent life.

I don't think we'll ever find it.

Universe is ungodly big. Can't be comprehended.

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

There is no intelligent life on earth.

 

[NoGutsNoGLory]

i want to believe so badly.

Easy there Scully, Im positive we're alone in our galaxy.

 

[mc_brew]

There is no intelligent life on earth.

[Prince.Skeletor]

finally something we agree on......

Cliff notes?

 

[staticshock]

A complete waste of resources, money and time. We will never reach these other places so why spend all that money to look for life?

Cliff notes?

Scientists are observing a star that randomly dims it's light output up to 20 percent. They can't explain why.

Some of the sexier explanations include possible artificial constructs orbiting it.

Cliff notes?

if a planet the size of jupiter was orbiting tabby's star and was between us and the star, way less than 1% of the light would be blocked.
no one can explain a 20% dimming.
it's not asteroids, dust or planets.
none of those things have the ability to block that much light.

scientists are baffled.
