Johns Hopkins University (JHU) continues to pad its space community résumé with their interactive map, “The map of the observable Universe”, that takes viewers on a 13.7-billion-year-old tour of the cosmos from the present to the moments after the Big Bang. While JHU is responsible for creating the site, additional contributions were made by NASA, the European Space Agency, the National Science Foundation, and the Sloan Foundation.

The electromagnetic spectrum is made of all frequencies of radiation that travel through space and propagate energy in the form of waves. Within the radio spectrum, agencies like the USA’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) tightly regulate permissions to transmit at specific frequencies. At the same time, our Sun, and every luminous body in the universe, indifferently broadcasts at nearly every frequency in the spectrum, creating much of what you may hear as “white noise.” Aliens, for now, are beyond FCC jurisdiction and may transmit radio signals without a license.

On October 19th, 2017 astronomers detected the first interstellar asteroid (or maybe comet) passing through the Solar System: Oumuamua. It had a brief encounter with the inner Solar System and then hurtled back out into interstellar space. Once astronomers noticed it, they directed the world’s telescopes on the object, but it was too far away to reveal anything more than a faint dot. Until now, we’ve only been able to study objects in our own Solar System. We have no idea what the rest of the Milky Way is like. But we were too late to catch it, no spacecraft was ready to make a quick intercept. Well, scientists aren’t going to make that mistake again. The European Space Agency announced their plans to build a comet interceptor. A spacecraft that will lurk out at the Earth-Sun L2 Lagrange point, waiting for a long-period comet or interstellar object to pounce on, and give us the first close up view ever.

For the first ten years of operation, Vera C. Rubin Observatory will perform the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time, using the Rubin Observatory LSST Camera and the Simonyi Survey Telescope. This Federal project is jointly funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, with early construction funding received from private donations through the LSST Corporation. The NSF-funded LSST (now Vera C. Rubin Observatory) Project Office for construction was established as an operating center under management of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA). The DOE-funded effort to build the Rubin Observatory LSST camera (LSSTCam) is managed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC). Download full-size version: Use policy
Between August 1 and August 3, 2022, the Galileo Project held its first conference. This video segment provides a brief window into the event. Thank you Daniel Llussà for putting the video together, and thank you Andy Mead and Ezra Kelderman for the music.
Researchers and affiliates of the Galileo Project gathered once again at the Harvard Observatory to commemorate the second year of the project, to present the latest work, and to look forward to the year ahead.

Avi Loeb and Amir Siraj have discovered a second interstellar meteor candidate and it is weirder than the first. In this exclusive interview with Amir Siraj, he explains how this second candidate was found and why it is so strange. A interstellar object landed on earth in 2014. The earliest confirmed interstellar object was Oumuamua. However, US Space command declassified data that shows another interstellar object landed on earth.

Why Oumuamua Left the Solar System Faster than it Came! Is it really an alien spacecraft? The day was October 14, 2017. A strange cosmic object was flying past our planet, and no one had the slightest clue. Five days later, the interstellar object was on its way out of the solar system, when Robert Weryk, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, spotted it with the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS1) in Hawaii. It was, from the moment of its discovery, a weird object — weird orbit, weird speed, weird properties. The strange object was nomenclated Oumuamua, the first known interstellar object to visit the solar system. 0:09 - Oumuamua's Discovery 0:51 - Oumuamua's Speed 1:15 - Oumuamua's Strange Properties 2:40 - What is Oumuamua? 3:30 - Tracking Oumuamua 3:50 - A Perfect Explanation 4:26 - Loeb's Study 5:27 - Light Sail 7:34 - Think Like an Alien 7:54 - Goodbye, Interstellar Friend!

Are we alone in the universe? According to Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, we got our answer to that question on October 19, 2017 when the peculiar and fast-moving and luminous interstellar object, named Oumuamua was observed. Loeb discusses his book, "Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth."

Oumuamua was an elongated space object, which was discovered speeding past the sun in 2017. At that time is was the only celestial body known to have visited our solar system from another.
