Holly<p>Here on Earth, our planet has the right temperature for liquid water, which enables our planet's life. In the very young Universe, space was that same temperature.

Corey S Powell<p>We've recently discovered that giant planets roam our galaxy on their own, in darkness, without any parent star.

#Perseverance left the regolith megaripples after spending a sol there. The image below shows some similar megaripples captured by #Ingenuity (just for kicks).

New location, Sol 1595, RMC 78.2172, after a ~200m long drive. The rover is still on a SE course in the middle of an almost featureless terrain.

Processed, undistorted, leveled HELI_RTE captured by the #MarsHelicopter from RMC 64.0001/5, Sol 955, LMST: 10:15:17, Oct 31,2023.

PRESS RELEASE: seti.org/news/seti-institute-a

The SETI Institute awarded the Davie Postdoctoral Fellowship for AI/ML-driven exoplanet discovery to Isabel Angelo. Machine learning is changing the way we search for exoplanets and enabling the discovery of patterns in massive datasets. Angelo’s research will refine and expand ML-driven pipelines for detecting exoplanets, and she will work with SETI Institute researcher Dr. Vishal Gajjar and his team.
