We kick off the session with Tiffany Kataria on assessing #conditions for the origin of #life on #exoplanet. For Tiffany, the origin of life is from geophysics to biophysics and important - habitable doesn’t mean inhabited and the origin of life is a way to rule out these false positives. #ExSSV
Fun couple of days at the #BreakthroughListen meeting at #SKAO this week, hearing about all the ways astronomers are searching for evidence of #technosignatures 👽 🛸 (we haven’t found any yet, but there are some really clever search techniques). The best bit? The final day pick n mix selection included UFOs…! 😁
NASA's quest for extraterrestrial life now includes technosignatures, evidence of advanced civilizations on distant exoplanets. Through AI, new research methods, and a broadened focus, scientists remain hopeful in discovering life beyond Earth. Our first confirmed proof of life beyond Earth might
Some great #SETI talks at the #breakthroughinstitute Breakthrough Discuss 2023. Mind-blowing to hear of a mission proposal to survey the whole #lunar surface to sub-metre precision to look for evidence of #technosignatures (alien artefacts). Onboard #MachineLearning would be used to work out what bits of the surface are "out of the ordinary". Tests using existing lower resolution data are already able to successfully identify the #Apollo lunar landing sites, without any prior training. Amazing!
