Scientists intend to find astroarchaeological artifacts of space brothers in mind
Scientists, contrary to their fantastic plans, still think realistically and believe in the possibility of discovering the so-called astroarchaeological artifacts – some traces left by advanced extraterrestrial civilizations on our planet or somewhere nearby.
For this purpose, the research project “Galileo” (Galileo Project) was founded, initiated by professors from Harvard University Avi Loeb and Frank Laukien.
Both believe in the existence of aliens, and Loeb especially. It was he who gained worldwide fame by first declaring Oumuamua – an interstellar asteroid that flew into the solar system – as an alien ship or an automatic probe, and then offered to catch up with him before he flew too far.
Firstly, the Galileo project implies that scientists will continue the work begun by the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) – in other words, they will not stop looking for signals of extraterrestrial civilizations in the radio range. But other frequency ranges will also be viewed, and even gravitational waves.
Secondly, they will also be doing what their colleagues from the Pentagon and NASA seem to be already doing – that is, the study of UFOs or UAPs (Unidentified Air Phenomena), as mysterious objects scurrying in the Earth’s atmosphere are now preferred to be called, – in the lower and its upper layers.
The Pentagon has already figured out something and began to classify. NASA has not yet made much progress – they have not officially announced any significant breakthroughs, but they admitted that these same UAPs could be somehow connected with the activities of aliens on Earth.
Scientists working on the project will try to get their own images of mysterious objects in the infrared and optical ranges. Expect to catch at least some signals from them. Appropriate devices are already prepared and research money has been received.
It is assumed that funding will eventually reach a billion dollars. “For aliens” so much has not yet been allocated. Apparently, the chances of getting a return are very high.
Thirdly, scientists suspect that in the solar system brothers in mind left small automatic probes to look after us. There are plans to find extraterrestrial civilizations using the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, equipped with a wide-angle reflecting telescope, which will begin photographing the sky from the high mountain Cerro Pachon in Chile from 2023.
And, finally, enthusiasts of the Galileo project are still thinking of catching up with Oumuamua and raising an interstellar object that fell there from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, which, according to Loeb and his colleagues, could just be an alien probe.
As the scientist said the other day, the expedition for the “probe” is also fully funded. The place where the object fell is known.
In the figurative expression of Loeb, the search for aliens should begin “in the backyard.” And we can wish them good luck.
Recently, a group of experts from Harvard University, led by physics
professor Avi Loeb, announced the possible presence of alien space
debris in Earth’s orbit, reports the Daily Star.
Leading
space research expert Professor Loeb is confident that the discovery of
such “interstellar objects could help expand our knowledge of possible
alien civilizations and technologies. A team of scientists is conducting
research to confirm that some of the objects in our orbit may be
connected to other star systems.
During an interview with Live
Science, Professor Loeb explained that these objects could enter the
solar system from interstellar space, defying Jupiter’s gravitational
pull and occupying limited orbits around the sun.
Some of them may
have technological origins similar to the probes sent by mankind into
interstellar space, such as Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, Pioneer 10 and 11
and New Horizons.
However,
despite these interesting assumptions, Professor Loeb did not specify
what specific objects he was talking about. In his research report, he
notes that there could be “a significant number” of potentially
detectable objects in Earth’s orbit.
To confirm their assumptions,
the team of scientists uses computer simulations and the Vera Rubin
Observatory (Chile) with a high-resolution camera of 3.2 billion pixels.
This will allow for regular observations of the Southern sky and the
possibility of detecting several captured objects about the size of a
football field.
It is assumed that these interstellar objects passed through the
boundaries of the solar system and may carry unique information about
other civilizations and their technologies. If we could confirm the
origin of these objects, the mysteries that open before us, this would
be a real breakthrough in space exploration.
Professor Loeb
expresses hope that the new research will not only help expand our
knowledge of extraterrestrial technologies, but may also lead to the
discovery of new alien civilizations . Answers to such questions can be
of global significance and influence our understanding of the place of
mankind in the Universe.
And
while there are still many questions and assumptions, the study by
Professor Loeb and his team opens a new chapter in space exploration.
Each new discovery can be the key to deciphering the mysteries of the
cosmos and the possibility of encountering alien life forms.
Betelgeuse, a red giant on the brink of death, continues to show
unusual behavior. After the Great Blackout, which occurred in late 2019
and early 2020, the star became unusually bright. It is now the seventh
brightest star in the sky, while it normally ranks tenth. This has led
to speculation that Betelgeuse is preparing to explode in a
spectacularly large supernova.
However, scientists believe it’s too early to tell, and it’s likely
that this behavior is due to ongoing fluctuations after the Great
Blackout of 2019, and the star will return to normal within a decade.
Betelgeuse is one of the most interesting stars in the sky. It is
about 700 light-years from Earth and is a red giant in the last stage of
its life. It is also an unusual star for a red giant because it was
previously a monster blue-white O-type star, the most massive class of
stars.
Betelgeuse has changed its spectral type because it has almost
exhausted its hydrogen reserves. It now burns helium into carbon and
oxygen and has expanded to a gigantic size: about 764 times the size of
the Sun and about 16.5 to 19 times its mass.
Eventually it will run out of fuel to burn, become a supernova, eject
its outer material, and its core will collapse into a neutron star.
Before the Great Blackout, Betelgeuse also had periodic fluctuations
in brightness. The longest of these cycles is about 5.9 years and the
other is 400 days. But it seems that the Great Blackout caused changes
in these oscillations.
A new paper by astrophysicist Morgan McLeod of the
Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has shown that the 400-day
cycle appears to have been halved. This pulsational cycle is probably
caused by expansion and contraction within the star. According to
simulations carried out by MacLeod and his colleagues, the convective
flow inside Betelgeuse may have risen and become material that separates
from the star.
