Quasi-periodic oscillation detected in blazar PKS 0405-385
By analyzing the historical light curve of blazar PKS 0405-385 from NASA's Fermi spacecraft, Chinese astronomers have detected quasi-periodic oscillation from this source. The discovery, presented in a paper published May 5 on arXiv.org, could shed m.....»»
Planetary scientists suggest a solution to the Fermi paradox: Superlinear scaling leading to a singularity
A pair of researchers, one with the Carnegie Institution for Science, the other with California Institute of Technology, has developed a possible solution to the Fermi Paradox. In their paper published in Journal of the Royal Society Interface, Micha.....»»
European astronomers discover four new brown dwarfs
Astronomers from the Astronomical Observatory of Padova, Italy, and elsewhere have conducted observations of 25 stars as part of the COPAINS Pilot Survey. As a result, they detected four new brown dwarfs that received designations HIP 21152 B, HIP 29.....»»
NASA"s InSight records monster quake on Mars
NASA's InSight Mars lander has detected the largest quake ever observed on another planet: an estimated magnitude 5 temblor that occurred on May 4, 2022, the 1,222nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission. This adds to the catalog of more than 1,313 qua.....»»
Highly circularly polarized and variable pulsar detected in the Large Magellanic Cloud
An international team of astronomers reports the finding of a new pulsar in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) as part of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) survey. The newly detected pulsar, d.....»»

Attackers are attempting to exploit critical F5 BIG-IP RCE
Researchers have developed PoC exploits for CVE-2022-1388, a critical remote code execution bug affecting F5 BIG-IP multi-purpose networking devices/modules. Simultaneously, in-the-wild exploitation attempts have also been detected. CVE-2022-1388 PoC.....»»
Avian flu confirmed in 2 backyard Pacific Northwest flocks
An avian flu that's spreading quickly across the U.S. has been detected in the Pacific Northwest in two backyard bird flocks in rural Oregon and Washington......»»
Humanity will need to survive about 400,000 years if we want any chance of hearing from an alien civilization
If there are so many galaxies, stars, and planets, where are all the aliens, and why haven't we heard from them? Those are the simple questions at the heart of the Fermi Paradox. In a new paper, a pair of researchers ask the next obvious question: Ho.....»»

Scientists describe a gravity telescope that could image exoplanets
In the time since the first exoplanet was discovered in 1992, astronomers have detected more than 5,000 planets orbiting other stars. But when astronomers detect a new exoplanet, we don't learn a lot about it: We know that it exists and a few feature.....»»
Emission accomplished: Cattle burp methane expulsion measured from space for first time
Cattle burping while chowing on feed in California's San Joaquin Valley generated plumes of a powerful greenhouse gas that have been detected by satellites for the first time, shedding light on how agriculture may be contributing to climate change......»»
Two rocky exoplanets discovered around nearby star
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have detected two rocky alien worlds orbiting a nearby M dwarf star known as HD 260655. The newly found exoplanets are larger and at least two times more massive than the Earth. T.....»»
Cloudflare Detects One of the Largest DDoS Attacks on Record Targeting Crypto Platform
