Scientists say they have discovered the first known protein that originated in space, located in a meteorite that fell to Earth 30 years ago.
“Analysis of the complete spectrum of isotopes associated with each molecular fragment shows 2H enhancements above terrestrial averaging 25,700 parts per thousand (sigma = 3,500, n=15), confirming extra-terrestrial origin and hence the existence of this molecule within the asteroid parent body of the CV3 meteorite class,” the study’s abstract states.

10 places to go UFO-sighting including Roswell and Skinwalker Ranch
O'Leary says UFO-hunting is an "historical mystery that persists. There are areas when people consistently see strange lights in the sky, and unexplained phenomenon."
In case "Project Blue Book" has inspired you to do some UFO-spotting of your own, O'Leary shares some favorites with Larry Bleiberg for USA TODAY.
Ever since a mysterious object suspected to be an alien spacecraft crashed here in 1947 , this small town has been the center of UFO conspiracy theories. "It's the grand-daddy case of the modern era of flying saucers," O'Leary says. Today, the town embraces its status with an annual UFO festival and the International UFO Museum & Research Center .
Have we really found an alien protein inside a meteorite? | New Scientist
Julie McGeoch, also at Harvard University, and her colleagues analysed a pristine sample of a meteorite that was found in Algeria in 1990. First, they used a series of small, carefully sanitised drills – similar to dentistry ones – to collect material from deep inside the meteorite.
The researchers prepared the resulting powder by mixing it with liquids including water and chloroform. Finally, they fired a laser at the samples to turn them into gases, which are easier to analyse in a process called mass spectrometry.
SIUE Grad Student Named Finalist in Space Competition | RiverBender.com
EDWARDSVILLE – “Understanding how plants adapt in an extraterrestrial environment is critical for providing agronomically significant targets for genetic engineering and helping to grow plants on the International Space Station (ISS) for future long-distance space exploration.”
Spoken with true passion and the promise of a pioneering career as a molecular biologist, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville biological sciences graduate student Sophie Bandurski is making a name for herself as a forward-thinking inventor. Bandurski was a finalist in the Growing Beyond Earth Maker Contest, earning acclaim for her team’s creation of an Aeroponic Microgravity Planting System.

Satellite Cell Towers Will Beam 4G to Your Phone | WIRED
Satellite phones have been around for decades, but they are expensive and their brick-like form factor was inconvenient for everyday use. Now a handful of companies are working to fix this problem by building satellites that can connect to regular cell phones and provide high-bandwidth mobile data anywhere on earth.
Building an extraterrestrial mobile network is tricky because cell phones aren't designed to communicate with satellites whizzing by at 17,000 mph, 300 miles above the ground. Instead, their software and hardware is optimized to connect with stationary cell towers that are never more than a couple dozen miles away.
Lady Gaga new album name is 'Chromatica,' release date in April
The singer, 33, took to Twitter Monday to reveal the project's name: "Chromatica," adding that it's "coming April 10."

Visiting the Dalí and Imagine Museums in St. Petersburg, Florida - TulsaKids Magazine
T his past weekend, I got to attend the annual Parenting Media Association conference in St. Petersburg. This is my third year to attend the conference but was the first year I had time to do some exploring! Usually, we spend our precious free time down by the beach. This year, I had to go up a day early, plus it was CHILLY, so visiting some local attractions sounded more appealing than shivering on the shore.

In addition to its memorable architecture, the museum itself houses 2,400 works by Dalí. Of course, not all of these were on display at the time, but they did have a wonderful collection on view. It was interesting to see how Dalí’s style changed over his career, beginning with more realistic works before becoming more surrealist.
