“The off-world paparazzi are out in force, speculating on the possibilities of alien life. Some scientists are initiating a much more active approach in pursuit of alien intelligence on other planets,” reports TopNews.us.

“Chief among them is Frank Drake who, half a century ago, devised his eponymous equation for determining the number of intelligent civilizations in the galaxy,” reports TopNews.us. ”Researchers claim that we should start beaming regular signals into space in order to find intelligent life, even though other scientists cite that it could be an invitation to danger.”

“In the UK, Dr Marek Kukula, public astronomer at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, said: “Part of me is with the enthusiasts and I would like us to try to make proactive contact with a wiser, more peaceful civilization”. Meanwhile, Professor Simon Conway Morris of Cambridge University reveals that aliens would look quite similar to us. Science reporter Adam Rutherford begs to differ. However, both agree that any alien life would have formed by Darwinian processes,” reports TopNews.us.

“The issue is revealed to be raised at a two-day meeting at the Royal Society in London this week, under the heading, “The detection of extraterrestrial life and the consequences for science and society”. Astronomers claim to have discovered nearly 300 planets beyond our solar system, and some even cite it is only a matter of time before more Earth-like planets are discovered,” reports TopNews.us.
