Scientists detected a mysterious radio signal from a nearby galaxy, which begs the question—could it be aliens?
The scientists behind the discovery explain that there are several potential non-alien explanations for the strange signal. But they have yet to find a terrestrial culprit and have not yet ruled out an extraterrestrial intelligence origin story.
“It has some particular properties that caused it to pass many of our checks, and we cannot yet explain it,” Andrew Siemion, Breakthrough Listen’s principal investigator, tells Jonathan O’Callaghan and Lee Billings for Scientific American .

Feds probing whether Nashville bomber believed in lizard people conspiracy
Since Saturday, authorities have been examining Warner's digital devices — which an official said includes a significant trove of pictures, videos and writings — looking for any clues to what drove the man to set off a powerful bomb inside his recreational vehicle, which took down communications networks and injured several people in downtown Nashville.
Specifically, investigators are looking into the suspect's previous trips to an undisclosed location in Tennessee where he would camp out in his recreational vehicle and, according to the suspect's statements to others, hunt possible aliens, the officials said.
Sykesville residents Dan and Kat Eckhart peer into future, unveil predictions for 2021 - Carroll
For those curious or concerned about what the new year has in store for us, fear not ― a husband and wife tandem has put their minds together just in time.
Sykesville residents Dan and Kat Eckhart recently unveiled their predictions for 2021, and they say they feel confident the calendar's turn will be a positive one.
The Carroll County couple dabbles in many aspects of magic and mysticism, from mind-reading and mentalism to seances and psychic readings. The Eckharts provide entertainment for private parties and events, and they garnered publicity in February 2019 by predicting some of the headlines in the Carroll County Times .

New supercluster discovered by astronomers
Now, a group of astronomers led by Vittorio Ghirardini of the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, Germany, reports the discovery of a new supercluster. The structure was identified by the eFEDS survey during its Performance Verification (PV) phase.
"We analyze the 140 deg 2 eROSITA Final Equatorial Depth Survey (eFEDS) field, observed during the Performance Verification phase to a nominal depth of about 2.3 ks. In this field, we detect a previously unknown supercluster," the astronomers wrote in the paper.
Year in review: Science and technology - Going viral | Science & technology | The Economist
Pre-eminent though covid-19 was in the stories we reported during 2020, however, it was by no means the only one of scientific and technological interest. And, in the long term, some of the others may be equally, if not more important.
The development of new energy technologies that might help curb global warming by reducing carbon-dioxide emissions, for example, continues apace. Batteries good enough to consign the internal-combustion engine to the history books by the pull of demand rather than the push of regulation are close at hand ( here , and also here ). And the use of hydrogen as a means of storing and transporting energy, in parallel with electricity, is also gathering support ( here , and also here ).
China's spacecraft brings home moon samples - Xinhua | English.news.cn
The return capsule of China's Chang'e-5 probe touched down on Earth in the early hours of Dec. 17, 2020, bringing back the country's first samples collected from the moon, as well as the world's freshest lunar samples in over 40 years. (Xinhua/Meng Lijing)
The spacecraft landed in Siziwang Banner, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, at 1:59 a.m. (Beijing Time), according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

It marks a successful conclusion of China's current three-step lunar exploration program of orbiting and landing, and bringing back samples, which began in 2004.
Hutchins’ year in review: Here's what happened in Colorado's media world in 2020 –
Dumpster fire, clown show, a glitch in the simulation, whatever you want to call it, 2020 was a kind of something else we should have seen from the start.
A few months later there was more to worry about than our privacy, the vulnerability of our nuclear arsenal , or extraterrestrials — so we kinda sorta just let that one go. Looking back at it now, my goodness, if that was the most unbelievable thing to happen in 2020 it would have been fine by me.
