SETI, Citrus Division - 1 views

  • A nice contrast to these high-tech installations, Adrian Lee's Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Citrus Division (below), sees 65 lemons trying to communicate with aliens. Using their own juices, these lemon batteries power a small motor - which turns a disc into which is punched the Morse code for "We are here". As the disc rotates, a class 2 laser - also powered by the lemons - shines through the holes and the encoded message is then directed by a small mirror up into space...or in this case, onto the ceiling of the Ambica P3 venue. Amusing, simple and sophisticated all at once, the Citrus Division mixes old and new science and technology in just the right measure.

    Really? Is this what we were all waiting for?

    Reminds me of this - the discovery of the LGM-1 (LGM= Little Green Men indeed): http://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/200602/history.cfm It turned out to be the first discovery of a pulsar, re-compensated by a Nobel Prize in Physics

    next GTOC idea?
  •  
    Guys in SETI have come out with a precision setup to analyze if we have found the true Death Star: http://phys.org/news/2015-12-extraterrestrial-laser-pulses-kic-seti.html Conclusions are no laser light coming out from there..
  •  
    to be honest, while the alien megastructure is a cookie idea, I highly doubt that those aliens woke up one day and thought: "hm, let's send laser pulses at this particular random spot in space sometime in the next 6 days".

SETI Search Resumes at Allen Telescope Array, Targeting New Planets - 0 views

  •  
    The Allen Telescope Array (ATA) is once again searching planetary systems for signals that would be evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. Among its first targets are some of the exoplanet candidates recently discovered by NASA's Kepler space telescope.

Hayabusa Sample Return Capsule Entry - Airborne Observing Campaign - 0 views

  • An attempt will be made to provide a live video feed of the Hayabusa Re-Entry in the minutes around the re-entry at 13:51 UT, Sunday June 13. The video will be chosen from cameras operated onboard NASA's DC-8 Airborne Laboratory
  •  
    After reading the Hayabusa's story posted by Joris a while ago, I think that the only adequately epic final to conclude this awesome mission is that the capsule will land safely. And empty.
