For 21 years, millions of volunteers let UC Berkeley use their home computers to search the sky for alien signals, producing 12 billion detections — after a decade of filtering, scientists narrowed them to roughly 100 targets worth a second look.

Astronomers have measured a Saturn-mass object apparently drifting through the Milky Way without a star—and microlensing surveys suggest that unseen free-floating worlds may outnumber the galaxy’s stars, perhaps by as much as 20 to one.
2+ week, 6+ day ago (786+ words) A directly weighed Saturn-mass lens strengthens the free-floating planet case, but the estimate of roughly 20 such worlds per star remains a broad, model-dependent population inference....
A telescope array still in early construction was pointed at the Helix Nebula and came back with 22 arcs of shocked gas in the faint outskirts — each one carved by an invisible clump of a dead star's ejecta that interstellar space is pulling apart
3+ week, 2+ day ago (313+ words) Five of MOTHRA's eventual 30 mounts were working when the array was aimed at the Helix as a commissioning target. Almost nothing is visible at the centre of any of the 22 bow shocks it found, and the way their size collapses…...
