“We are not alone in the Universe”, Avi Loeb, Harvard Professor

Episode 91! ARE WE ALONE IN THE GALAXY?

Avi Loeb, Harvard Professor | Author: Extraterrestrial. The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth Avi Loeb, chair of Harvard’s Department of Astronomy, believes that an alien visited in 2017 — and more are coming. In his upcoming book, “Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), out Jan. 26, the professor lays out a compelling case for why an object that recently wandered into our solar system was not just another rock but actually a piece of alien technology. The object in question traveled toward our solar system from the direction of Vega, a nearby star 25 light-years away, and intercepted our solar system’s orbital plane on Sept. 6, 2017.

On Sept. 9, its trajectory brought it closest to the sun. At the end of September, it blasted at about 58,900 miles per hour past Venus’ orbital distance, and then, on Oct. 7, it shot past Earth’s before “moving swiftly toward the constellation Pegasus and the blackness beyond,” Loeb writes in the book. The object was first spotted by an observatory in Hawaii containing the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) — the highest-definition telescope on Earth. The space object was dubbed ‘Oumuamua (pronounced “oh moo ah moo ah”), which is Hawaiian for — roughly — “scout.” As space travelers go, it was relatively small at just about 100 yards long, but it was a big deal in the scientific community.
