That sounds insanely interesting. But would it be possible to confirm the presence of living micro organisms without taking a sample back ? It seems hard to get back a probe.
Also another thing that somewhat bothers me, is the concentration of the constantly disappearing phosphine. Thousands times more than on Earth, which is definitly not void of life.

Cause 2020 isn't over yet.

Scientists at a prominent SETI group say they’ve identified a signal coming from Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our Sun, that could possibly be from an alien civilization.

The news first broke yesterday in a story by The Guardian. The signal was discovered by Breakthrough Listen, a project founded to listen for signs of extraterrestrial life affiliated with the late physicist Stephen Hawking.

“It is the first serious candidate since the ‘Wow! signal’,” a researcher familiar with the finding, who requested anonymity to discuss the work, told the newspaper. The “Wow! signal,” recorded in 1977, is widely considered to be the most promising finding in the history of SETI — though, like the most recent finding, its implications have been hotly debated.

According to the Guardian‘s sources, the signal was picked up by the Parkes telescope in Australia last year, where it appeared to be originating from the Proxima Centauri system.

It caught the interest of researchers for several reasons. One is that it’s around 980MHz, a band in which there shouldn’t be any human spacecraft transmitting. Another is that its frequency is shifting in a way that scientists say indicates that it could be coming from the surface of an orbiting exoplanet — and Proxima Centauri is known to have an exoplanet in the “habitable zone.” The researchers are now working on a paper about the finding, according to the Guardian.

Still, the scientific community remains skeptical.

“The chances against this being an artificial signal from Proxima Centauri seem staggering,” University of Westminster astrobiologist Lewis Dartnell told the Guardian. “We’ve been looking for alien life for so long now and the idea that it could turn out to be on our front doorstep, in the very next star system, is piling improbabilities upon improbabilities.”

Dartnell also told the paper that Proxima Centauri’s most habitable-looking planet doesn’t seem, at first bluff, like a particularly strong candidate for life.

“But I’d love to be proved wrong,” he added.

The Guardian‘s reporting was corroborated later the same day by Scientific American, which locked down better access to the researchers behind the project and reported that they are urging skepticism — but, strikingly, are leaving open the possibility that it could be an alien technosignature.

“The most likely thing is that it’s some human cause,” Pete Worden, the executive director of Breakthrough’s parent organization. “And when I say most likely, it’s like 99.9 [percent].”

Insiders familiar with the finding also clarified to Scientific American that the signal does not appear to contain any information. In other words, it’s basically just a tone — and likely coming from a spacecraft launched from Earth.

“If you see such a signal and it’s not coming from the surface of Earth, you know you have detected extraterrestrial technology,” Jason Wright, a SETI researcher at Penn State University in Pennsylvania, told Scientific American. “Unfortunately, humans have launched a lot of extraterrestrial technology.”

Wright also had an intriguing exchange with the Scientific American writer later on in the story, when he was asked about the truism “it’s never aliens.”

“I hate that phrase, because if you say that then why even look,” he told the magazine. “What we mean by that is that it’s never been aliens before.”

That’s the spirit of possibility, of course, that motivates all SETI projects. To wit, the Guardian pointed out that when Breakthrough Listen kicked off, back in 2015, the famed physicist Stephen Hawking made remarks to the same effect.

“Mankind has a deep need to explore, to learn, to know,” he said, according to the paper. “We also happen to be sociable creatures. It is important for us to know if we are alone in the dark.”

Not on a planet but on the ISS.

Researchers from the United States and India working with NASA have now discovered four strains of bacteria living in different places in the ISS – three of which were, until now, completely unknown to science.

Three of the four strains were isolated back in 2015 and 2016 – one was found on an overhead panel of the ISS research stations, the second was found in the Cupola, the third was found on the surface of the dining table; the fourth was found in an old HEPA filter returned to Earth in 2011.

All four of the strains belong to a family of bacteria found in soil and freshwater; they are involved in nitrogen fixation, plant growth, and can help stop plant pathogens. Basically, good bacteria to have around if you're growing things.

You might wonder what such soil bacteria were doing all the way up on the ISS, but the astronauts living on the space station have been growing small amounts of food for years, so it's unsurprising that we've found plant-related microbes aboard.

One of the strains – the HEPA-filter find – was identified as a known species called Methylorubrum rhodesianum. The other three were sequenced and found to all belong to the same, previously unidentified species, and the strains were named IF7SW-B2T, IIF1SW-B5, and IIF4SW-B5.

The team, lead by University of Southern California geneticist Swati Bijlani, has proposed calling the new species Methylobacterium ajmalii after Ajmal Khan, a renowned Indian biodiversity scientist. This new find is also closely related to an already known species called M. indicum.

"To grow plants in extreme places where resources are minimal, isolation of novel microbes that help to promote plant growth under stressful conditions is essential," two of the team, Kasthuri Venkateswaran and Nitin Kumar Singh from NASA's JPL, explained in a press statement.
