It is challenging to calculate the number of potential extraterrestrial civilizations, but a new study led by the University of Nottingham has taken a unique approach to obtain this estimate. According to the researchers, there could be more than 30 communicating civilizations within our own galaxy.
“In the strong criteria, whereby a metal content equal to that of the Sun is needed (the Sun is relatively speaking quite metal rich), we calculate that there should be around 36 active civilizations in our galaxy.”

Another fast radio burst in deep space that repeats has been found and scientists are stunned |
NEW YORK — After finding the first-known repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) in February , researchers have discovered another repeating FRB in deep space that has them baffled.
FRB 121102, which has been observed since 2016 by the Lovell Telescope in the U.K., was discovered to have a 157-day repeating pattern. It shows activity for 90 days and then goes silent for 67 days, according to a newly published study in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society .

Astronomers and space scientists and even amateur alien theory enthusiasts around the world have for years tried to decipher signals that are received from space. It's a job profile that requires years of study, a good understanding of sound frequencies
Despite years of research, no concrete evidence of extraterrestrials sending signals to earth has been found yet. But now, a new study promises to pique interests of all space observers and alien theory enthusiasts around the
What's on TV Monday: 'Original Cast Album: Company' and 'Songland' - The New York Times
ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO 9 p.m. on The CW. The city that lends this series its name has been an important location in American mythology since remnants of a mysterious aircraft were found at a ranch nearby in 1947. The military said it was the wreckage of a balloon but some believe that an alien spaceship crashed at the site. This show, a reboot of an earlier TV series, opts for the unofficial, speculative narrative.
SONGLAND 10 p.m. on NBC . For almost two decades,there has been a steady stream of reality shows that allow aspiring performers to strut their stuff. Songwriters, who tend to work behind the scenes, have had far fewer opportunities. This competition show was conceived as a way to redress that imbalance and show viewers how songs are crafted.

36 intelligent civilisations may exist in our own galaxy
* * *
There could be 36 active intelligent civilisations in our own galaxy, the Milky Way, but we are unable to communicate to them because the average distance to these civilisations would be 17,000 light-years away, new research has said.
It is also possible that we are the only civilization within our galaxy unless the survival times of civilizations like our own are long, said the study led by the University of Nottingham published in ‘The Astrophysical Journal’. "In the strong criteria, whereby a metal content equal to that of the Sun is needed (the Sun is relatively speaking quite metal rich), we calculate that there should be around 36 active civilizations in our galaxy," explained first author Tom Westby.
That 'Human Bone' Found in a NASA Mars Photo Isn't Even New. Here's The Real Story
A 2014 Mars photo that has strangely resurfaced in tabloids this month does not show a femur amidst the rubble of the Red Planet. Like all such photos to date, the object you see is just a plain old Mars rock. And NASA debunked it six years ago.
"Seen by Mars rover Curiosity using its MastCam, this Mars rock may look like a femur thigh bone. Mission science team members think its shape is likely sculpted by erosion, either wind or water," wrote a NASA spokesperson in a brief blog post .
