Venus may have had an Earth-like environment billions of years ago, with water and a thin atmosphere. Yet testing such theories is difficult without geological samples to examine.

The SETI InstitutePart of our mission is to study life in all its complexity. On this week’s episode of Big Picture Science, we’ll be looking at the life beneath our feet. Fungi and mycelia networks are complex. Are they also intelligent? Go deep with @BiPiSci: buff.ly/3cBJdOypic.twitter.com/JIKNKz6QOL

The SETI InstituteThe Cygnus Loop is a supernova remnant some 2,500 light-years away. It has many components: at the top is the Witch’s Broom (NGC 6960), and Pickering’s Triangle (no designation) lies down and to the lower left of the Broom.
