As long as possible! https://thedebrief.org/oumuamua-proves-science-doesnt-want-to-find-aliens/ `Oumuamua Proves Science Doesn't Want To Find Aliens Tim McMillan· 27 Jan 2021 The Debrief Are we alone in the universe? Gazing into the vast expanse of the stars, humanity has pondered this question for as long as we've known it was outer space and not the heavens themselves that comprised the celestial sphere. Theologians, philosophers, and scientists alike have nearly unanimously concluded: "No!" Applying their respective tradecrafts -- religious doctrine, logical deduction, and mathematical inference -- mankind's most influential disciplines have offered compelling evidence in support of the existential conclusion that others are out there somewhere. In the unfathomable vastness of space, many among our brightest and wisest minds believe it is simply inconceivable that Earth is the only place where life has flourished over the nearly 14 bn years since the birth of the universe. Despite Herculean efforts in multiple disciplines, however, the belief that life must exist outside of the "pale blue dot" we call home has remained just a belief -- albeit an informed one. A plausible theory based on abductive reasoning, but positively unverifiable. Yet one distinguished astrophysicist says the answer to this age-old question may already have passed us by and, surprisingly, no one seems to care. Since the fall of 2017, Dr. Abraham "Avi" Loeb, the longest serving chair of Harvard's Dept of Astronomy and author of Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth , has found himself in the interesting position of facing not only the difficult question of whether we are alone in the universe, but the even trickier and more unsettling question that follows: "Do we even want to know?"

It is surrounded by the trails of faint stars that are smeared as the telescopes tracked the moving object. Credit: ESO/K. Meech et al. .... `Oumuamua - Unlike Anything Seen Before or Since Over 3 years since its initial discovery, scientists are little closer to concluding exactly what `Oumuamua is than they were in the fall of 2017. Data generated by the interstellar traveler's reflection of sunlight as it passed through the solar system suggests `Oumuamua has an extremely elongated shape, with a length roughly 5 to 10 times its width. The object is believed to be on the order of 330 to 3,300 feet (100 to 1,000 meters) long, with an estimated thickness of 115 to 548 ft (35 to 167 meters). Its thin, elongated shape makes it vastly unlike any asteroid ever observed. .... -- NASA's asteroid-sampling OSIRIS-REx probe will head back to Earth in May Engadget, 27 Jan 2021 10:25Z The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will soon bid asteroid Bennu farewell.
