Western Australia begins work on Clean Energy Link – North to unlock ‘solar-rich’ Mid West

Western Australia begins work on Clean Energy Link – North to unlock ‘solar-rich’ Mid West

The works are expected to take 12 months across three stages, with the first involving trenching and horizontal directional drilling to install underground conduit. Transmission line construction is expected to be completed by mid-2027. The package forms part of the broader Clean Energy Link – North (CEL-North) programme, an AU$1.6 billion (US$1.12 billion) investment by […]

Alien Probes Hiding in Our Solar System: Study Reveals Hidden Technosignatures in Asteroid Belt

Alien Probes Hiding in Our Solar System: Study Reveals Hidden Technosignatures in Asteroid Belt

A recent study has renewed discussion about whether advanced extraterrestrial civilisations could leave detectable technosignatures within our own Solar System, including in the asteroid belt. In the paper, researcher Alex Ellery proposes on the possibility that non-human technology may already be embedded within largely unexamined regions of our own cosmic backyard. Interest in extraterrestrial life
