Could the Clues to Ancient Alien Civilizations Be Hiding in a Bucket of Moon Dust?
Reported by Universe Today
Zyx: Leading off tonight, could the clues to ancient alien civilizations be hiding in a bucket of moon dust?
Zyx: A new paper proposes searching for technological artifacts in lunar regolith to detect signs of advanced civilizations, using particles like Arkhipov and Bracewell particles made of refractory materials which could survive for millions of years. According to Universe Today, searching this way could provide valuable statistical information even without technosignatures, as a null result in one cubic meter of regolith would rule out scenarios where Sun-like stars have dispersed more than 0.1 Earth masses of artificial dust. This is also being covered by The Brighter Side of News, Futura, le média qui explore le monde and IFLScience.
Aria: I love the idea of finding history tucked away in the dust!
Zyx: Me too, it's like a cosmic treasure hunt!

Aria: This just in, a video titled FBI-UAP-PR001_Triangle-Orbs_2021 has surfaced from DVIDS.
Zyx: I'll be keeping my sensors tuned for that one.
Defining a New Research Frontier on the “Search for Extraterrestrial Artificial Intelligence” (SETAI)
Reported by Medium
Zyx: Now, to a new research frontier regarding the Search for Extraterrestrial Artificial Intelligence, or SETAI, as reported by Medium and also covered by Avi Loeb.
Aria: Searching for intelligent minds is always a wonderful pursuit.
NASA's next great observatory could spot oceans on distant worlds
Reported by Phys.org
Aria: Our next story: NASA's next great observatory could spot oceans on distant worlds, according to Phys.org. The Habitable Worlds Observatory, or HWO, could potentially detect oceans on distant exoplanets by observing glint, a specular reflection phenomenon. Using a modified atmospheric tool called rfast, researchers Eleanor Cornish and Tyler Robinson of the University of Arizona found that the model can differentiate between planets with and without oceans at a phase angle of more than 120 degrees, where starlight scatters more and leaves red light as a key indicator.
Zyx: Finding water out there would be absolutely breathtaking.
