The chances of intelligent life emerging in our universe—and in any hypothetical ones beyond it—can be estimated by a new theoretical model which has echoes of the famous Drake Equation.

Astrophysicists developed a theoretical model that could be used to estimate how likely it is for intelligent life to emerge on other planets. The post New way to calculate probability of intelligent alien life in universe appeared first on Talker.

We do not know if there is life elsewhere in the universe. It is likely, given that we are here, that there are other beings out there too. We also do not know if the characteristics of our planet are the best there can be to make life – some might be better.

Three ultra-massive galaxies from the early universe, named "red monsters" show star formation happened faster than believed.

The JWST’s FRESCO program, developed by the team, systematically analyzed emission-line galaxies from the dawn of the universe. This allowed them to accurately measure the distances and stellar masses of these newly detected giants.

An international team led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has identified three ultra-massive galaxies—nearly as massive as the Milky Way—already in place within the first billion years after the Big Bang.
