I had to weigh in on the fresh round of speculation about whether there were chemical hints of #alien life on the exoplanet K2-18 b. I tend to agree with the researcher who quipped that "it will probably turn out to be vulcanism rather than Vulcans." https://cosmiclog.com/2025/04/17/fresh-findings-revive-debate-about-life-on-alien-planet/ #Space #Astrobiology #K1218b
A weird comment in this article about #extraterrestrial #life and what it means for #Earth. Dr Robert Massey, of the Royal #Astronomical Society "believes that the discovery of even simple #alien life would be the latest chapter in the diminution of #humanity's place in the #cosmos". He says "I think the discovery of life elsewhere... would further reduce our specialness". That's an un- #scientific, subjective feeling, and I don't see it makes any difference/...

Is this a hint of life on another world, or just a lot of hot air?
@npr reports: "An ocean world that's teeming with microbes — and who knows what other kinds of life — is currently the best explanation for some chemical signatures that the James Webb Space Telescope has spotted in the atmosphere of a distant planet." Well, at least according to one astronomer.

I was thinking about an alien race with a ridiculous amount of eyes, and a friend voiced the idea that it would be interesting to see how they'd handle eyewear, so I tried to draw that.

Alien 3: The Ultimate Cut, coming soon to a theater near you
Photo by Олег Мороз on UnsplashThe year is 1992. This year that saw the release of such seminal songs as Sir Mix-a-Lot’s Baby Got Back or Right Said Fred’s I’m Too Sexy. More importantly, this is the year that saw the release of the third installment in the Alien franchise, Alien 3.
Although Alien had been absolutely groundbreaking, and Aliens (the second movie in the franchise), while not as great as the first movie, was still interesting and had taken this franchise in new directions, Alien 3 was an abysmal flop. It was so bad that even the movie’s director, David Fincher, disowned it.
In 2025, undaunted by the sheer turdity of the original cut, Robert Vance has taken upon himself to give moviegoers the movie they deserve. The Daily Isotope went to the premiere of Alien 3: The Ultimate Cut, and interviewed Vance ahead of the showing.
DI: What prompted you to beat this dead horse?
Vance: I felt Fincher was never given the opportunity to present the movie he wanted. Also, I needed money for a yacht. Come to think of it, the yacht was the main reason.
DI: How did the editing go?
Vance: The original cut had spent too much time on the xenomorph, character development, and the plot.
DI: So, what did you do?
Vance: I’ve cut a lot of the original material, and given the public what they wanted. The Ultimate Cut definitely won’t waste your time.
After having seen the movie, The Daily Isotope can faithfully report that Vance has achieved his goal. Clocking at 35 seconds, this black and white, and silent movie will definitely not waste your time. However, if you are pressed for money, we do recommend waiting for streaming. You could also wait for it to be available on one of those services that are free but subject you to advertisements. The ratio of ads to movie might be irritating, however.
Ce ne sont pas des aliens…
Ce ne sont pas des raviolis non plus
Ce sont des bébés raies — la preuve que la nature a un sacré sens de l’humour
One of the best things I saw this week: a paper uncovering alien signals in the Riemann Zeta function. April Fools always brings peak creativity.
I got this awesome picture from HousePetArts (Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/housepetarts.bsky.social )
I really love how this turned out! bit more noodly and perhaps more alien rendition, it worked out really well I think :3
