Nobody believes it was ET phoning, but radio astronomers admit they don't have an explanation yet for a beam of radio waves that apparently came from the direction of the star Proxima Centauri. "It's some sort of technological signal. The question is whether it's Earth technology or technology from somewhere out yonder," said Sofia Sheikh, a graduate student at Pennsylvania State University leading a team studying the signal and trying to decipher its origin. She is part of Breakthrough Listen, a $100 million effort funded by Yuri Milner, a Russian billionaire investor , to find alien radio waves. The project has now stumbled on its most intriguing pay dirt yet.

While 2020 was a challenging year for the space industry (and everyone else) amid the coronavirus pandemic, a bunch of exciting missions that will launch or arrive at their destination in 2021 continued to move forward. From Mars to asteroids, robots, humans and much more, we'll see space exploration continue to expand across the solar system. We'll also see some new rockets take flight from companies like Firefly Aerospace and Relativity Space. * * * China's ambitious Tianwen-1 mission, the first Mars mission for the country, will see an orbiter, lander and rover all explore the Red Planet. The United Arab Emirates also sent its first mission, the Hope orbiter , to Mars to inspire the "next generation."

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – Elton John might have said it best in his iconic song "Rocket Man" – "Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids." More than 50 years after we sent humans to the moon – the closest celestial body to Earth – the plan is still to head to Mars , something many astronauts who have flown in space thought we would have already accomplished. But despite the fact humankind has been unable to send anyone to another place in the universe besides the moon, there are still many with the hopes and expectation that we will become a multi-planetary species in the near future, starting with our red next-door neighbor.

50 Years Ago, C.V. Vishveshwara Built On Einstein's Gravitational Wave Theory : NPR For a scientist, few things are sweeter than data from an experiment that confirms a theoretical prediction. C.V. Vishveshwara was one of the lucky ones. He got to enjoy what Einstein had missed, and the detection of gravitational waves verified a theoretical prediction that Vishveshwara himself had made nearly half a century earlier. In 1970, Vishveshwara, known to his friends as Vishu, was a physics graduate student at the University of Maryland.

For recording the video an 80mm APO refractor has been used. The Moon is interesting to scientists because it would allow researchers to gain deeper knowledge of the solar system. Some of the theme that NASA aims to explore in lunar explorations are the study of planetary processes, impact history of the Earth-Moon system, study of the universe and geospace, as well as the record of the ancient Sun. In addition to that they hope to perform experiment science in the lunar environment.

In the battle to defend the planet from hazardous asteroids, amateur astronomers have taken on a new role — for the first time, helping to map a near-Earth asteroid (NEA), revealing its shape. The effort came as a collaboration between researchers at the SETI Institute and 26 citizen observers from seven countries who observed the 1.2-mile-wide (2 kilometers) asteroid 1999 AP10. All of the observers were using an eVscope — a new "smart" telescope model produced by the startup Unistellar .
