New Revelations About the Origin of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
Reported by Universe Today
Zyx: Leading off tonight, new data has emerged regarding the origin of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS.
Zyx: Using the WHT Enhanced Area Velocity Explorer, or WEAVE, astronomers analyzed ions like dinitrogen and carbon monoxide released during its approach to the Sun.
Zyx: The spectra show the comet formed in extremely cold conditions, specifically colder than -240 degrees Celsius, likely in the far reaches of its home system, according to Universe Today.
Aria: So it is a true wanderer from the deep freeze. How chilling!
If alien civilizations use hyper-efficient computers, they will have a distinct energy signal we can detect
Reported by Phys.org
Aria: Our next story: Researchers suggest we might find advanced civilizations by looking for a specific energy signal called a Slysh halo.
Aria: The theory, published in Phys.org and also covered by Universe Today, posits that hyper-efficient computers operating between 5 and 30 Kelvin would emit waste heat in the far-infrared or submillimeter spectrum.
Aria: This narrow, bright signal could be detected from 100 light-years away using telescopes like ALMA.
Zyx: I love the idea of looking for the cosmic glow of a high-tech motherboard!
