Astronomers use lasers now in a different way to help sharpen their images of the cosmos We should shine lasers into space if we want to hide our presence from aliens, two US-based astronomers suggest ...

A handheld laser could help find aliens on Mars or Jupiter's moon Europa by analyzing the chemistry of tiny planetary materials. A University of Maryland–led team announced the NASA-funded device, a ...

The gravity on alien worlds in probably too strong for rockets to escape ALIENS looking to contact Earth will probably fire lasers at us rather than lugging their spacecraft all the way across the ...

In the (unlikely) event that an alien civilisation decided to invade other planets, firing lasers into space could safely conceal the Earth, scientists claim. This scheme could also be reversed, to ...

THE MYSTERY surrounding how a giant rock came to be perfectly cut in half in the Saudi Arabian desert may have been solved. Conspiracy theorists have long suspected that ‘alien lasers’ could be ...

An amateur astronomer was gazing at the stars through her telescope when she noticed something bizarre. Just past her sighting of the moon, Paula Gilley could see Saturn. Article continues below ...

A new Nasa-funded laser could help scientists find alien life. Researchers built the laser to detect signs of life and for identifying materials taken from other planets. But they also had to shrink ...

The KIC 8462852 star was first spotted by online astronomers Planet Hunters in 2015, which appeared to be dipping in brightness. Astronomers struggled to explain why the star’s brightness was ...
