Another slow day. Now we know why the paranormal is such a draw. When all things in the sky are short on substance, you can always revert to backup topics that have more activity.
Ben Bova writes some insightful commentary on intelligent life and why there has been no contact, even though the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) and various predecessors have been checking since 1959. Center of the galaxy is a good spot - high density stars, but also high radiation levels - not good for DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) which are the building blocks of beings such as ourselves. Maybe they are too advanced for radio signals. Or, just like a Sci-Fi writer - they are too advanced for us, and we have to grow up a little before we are contacted.
