These new images of Pluto may very well be the highest-resolution images that we’re going to get of Nix, Hydra, Charon and Pluto.

A recent analysis of the images reveals two different layers of haze. It captured the sunlight shining through the tiny planet’s atmosphere, revealing a haze that rested as high as 130 km above the surface.

Yuri Milner made his fortune from savvy early investments in technology start-ups such as Facebook, and he said he believes that other civilisations could teach us how to handle challenges such as allocating natural resources. Reports from CBC reveal Russian billionaire Yuri...

Releasing a tranche of new images, mission controllers also gave more information about crucial new data gathered during the spacecraft’s historic flight through the Pluto system on July 14. The image was taken at a distance of 1.25 million miles from the dwarf planet and...

Releasing a tranche of new images, mission controllers also gave more information about crucial new data gathered during the spacecraft’s historic flight through the Pluto system on July 14.

The programme kicks off with “Breakthrough Listen” to track signals with access to two of the world’s most powerful telescopes Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, the USA, and Parkes Telescope in New South Wales, Australia.

The British scientist has given his backing to Yuri Milner’s Breakthrough Initiatives project, which will provide $US100 million ($135.49 million) over the next decade to those searching for extraterrestrial intelligence.

According to global media, the search will be 50 times more sensitive, and cover 10 times more sky, than previous hunts for alien life and leading researchers have secured time on two of the world’s most powerful telescopes in the United States and Australia to scan the...

The first close up hits of Pluto expose summits fabricated from glaciers along with a really early, crater-free material, specialists with the use of NASA’s New Horizons dream said on Wednesday. The color image of Nix is from data obtained by the Ralph instrument on New...

The Breakthrough Initiatives consists of two projects-Breakthrough Listen and Breakthrough Message, Xinhua reported.

“Somewhere in the cosmos, perhaps, intelligent life may be watching these lights of ours, aware of what they mean”, he said.

Scientists are about to embark on the biggest search yet for alien life, sweeping the skies for signals of civilisations beyond our solar system with $A135 million from a Russian billionaire and the backing of physicist Stephen Hawking.

Man has always wondered about its existence in the universe, and has sought far and wide for signs of life in outer space. The search will be “100 times better than any previous search for intelligent life in the universe”, said Geoff Marcy, chairman of the SETI...

“Or do our lights wander a lifeless universe?”

“In an infinite universe, there must be other occurrences of life“, Hawking said at the launch of Breakthrough Initiatives. “We must know”, said Hawking at the launch event.
