An Alien View of the Moon Transiting Earth

Ever wonder what an approaching alien spacecraft would see as it comes within tracking range of our Earth/Moon system? NASA's EXPOXI mission, which uses the old Deep Impact spacecraft, has created a video of the moon transiting (passing in front of) Earth as seen from the spacecraft's point of view 50 million kilometers (31 million miles) away. Scientists are using the video to develop techniques to study alien worlds. "Making a video of Earth from so far away helps the search for other life-bearing planets in the Universe by giving insights into how a distant, Earth-like alien world would appear to us," said astronomer Michael A’Hearn, principal investigator for the Deep Impact extended mission, called EPOXI. The video is pretty amazing and there's actually two versions of the video; the first one uses a red-green-blue filter, showing

Earth and Moon From an Alien's Perspective

krygny writes "NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft (whose extended mission is called EPOXI) has created a video of the moon transiting Earth as seen from 31 million miles away. Scientists are using the video to develop techniques to study alien worlds. 'Our video shows some specific features that are important for observations of Earth-like planets orbiting other stars,' said Drake Deming of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center... 'A "sun glint'" can be seen in the movie, caused by light reflected from Earth's oceans, and similar glints to be observed from extrasolar planets could indicate alien oceans. Also, we used infrared light instead of the normal red light to make the color composite images, and that makes the land masses much more visible.'" Here are links to the two videos, one red-green-blue and the other infrared-green.

Chanel Mobile Museum brings art to your city via alien spacecraft

Zaha Hadid has a reputation from some far out designs, but her latest work for Chanel pushes the envelope into outer space. The Chanel Contemporary Art Container was designed to move from city to city displaying various works of art, appropriately, the component structure looks exactly like an alien spacecraft. Featuring exhibits by the likes of Yoko Ono (displaying an interactive Wish Tree), Michael Li, Loris Cecchini, and photographers Stephen Shore and Nobuyoshi Araki, the museum debuted in Hong Kong, immediately sold out in Tokyo (it's still running until Friday, July 4th) and is scheduled to hit New York in October, London and Moscow in 2009 and Paris in 2010. You can enter the museum's seriously trippy multimedia website here.

Alien Rumors Quelled as NASA Announces Phoenix Perchlorate Discovery

"We don't want to come to you and say 'we found chocolate on Mars,' then come back and say, 'We were wrong it was strawberry.' We don't want to do that," MECA lead scientist Michael Hecht told reporters. Over in the U.K., Stuart Atkinson was listening and responded immediately. Even before the press briefing was over, some of the Phoenix team saw it on UnmannedSpaceFlight.com, where Atkinson posted it, and were seen to be chuckling. "It was the best," Hecht said later. We, too found it amusing and with Atkinson's permission are reposting it here.

Alien-Hunting UK Hacker Coming to America

A UK hacker of modest abilities who allegedly broke into secure U.S. government computer systems in search of UFO conspiracy-theory evidence has lost his fight against extradition. The British House of Lords was unmoved by Gary McKinnon's argument that he would be subject to U.S. terrorist sentencing guidelines, but McKinnon still has one avenue of appeal: the European Court of Human Rights.
