"This is a novel way to detect extraterrestrial intelligence … I did not actually find aliens, I want to make that very clear," said Christina Vides, a physics senior.
Vides conducted her research while on a program at Stanford University for two consecutive summers, in 2017 and 2018.
The premise of her study: If an exoplanet, or extraterrestrial, civilization transmitted a beam of laser light and directly aimed it at Earth, could the Gemini Planet Imager detect it. The imager is a dedicated planet-finding instrument on the Gemini South Telescope in Chile. Vides communicated her calculations to scientists in Chile, operators of the telescope, who handled remote sensing.

Mysterious stripes on alien world that are 'like nothing else in our solar system' finally
One of those mysteries are the four stripes that cover its south pole, which are like nothing else known in our solar system. Now researchers have revealed the physics behind the fissures that open up and spill ocean water out of the icy surface, and create those stripes.

"First seen by the Cassini mission to Saturn, these stripes are like nothing else known in our Solar System," lead author Hemingway explained. "They are parallel and evenly spaced, about 130 kilometers long and 35 kilometers apart.
Alien discovery near? China's extraterrestrial hunting telescope nearing completion
This giant alien-hunting telescope is located in the Guizhou province. The telescope is being named Five Hundred Meter Aperture Telescope (FAST), and it apparently began its trial operations in November 2016. As per reports, this giant telescope has detected and identified 99 rapidly spinning neutron stars known as pulsars, and out of them, 30 are fast-rotating millisecond pulsars.
"In the process of observing signals from celestial bodies, we also collect signals that might be emitted by humans or extraterrestrial intelligence. However, this is a huge amount of work, since most signals we see, 99% of them are various noises, so we need to take our time to identify the signals we want in the noises," said Zhu Ming, director of the scientific observation and data division at the FAST operations and development center in a CCTV video.

The future dominated what we saw during December's First Friday. There were works by future artists displayed in Tempe, and we took a glance at what art might look like on Mars. We even saw a play inspired by the dystopian future as imagined by director Terry Gilliam. Read on to see what awaits us years down the road.
What differences? R Ashwin hails Kohli as an ...
Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Saturday labelled skipper Virat Kohli's performance in the first T20I of the three-match series as 'extraterrestrial'.
Kohli had played a match-winning knock of 94 runs against West Indies at Hyderabad on Friday to take the side 1-0 up in the three-match series.
"The kind of show @imVkohli put on last night was extraterrestrial. #INDvsWI #Virat," Ashwin tweeted.

Kohli had come out to bat with the side at 30/1 in pursuit of 208. He then formed a 100-run stand with opening batsman KL Rahul to bring the Men in Blue back into the match.

Physicist Has Theory As To Why We Haven't Met Aliens Yet, And It's Pretty Depressing -
It's a feeling that fills up the average vehicle owner with anxiety: What is that note doing on my windshield? Is it a nice message from a stranger or something? Nah, that's never the case. Chances are someone backed into you and left you their insurance information. Or maybe they did and told you to 'eff off. Who even knows?
