Maybe the galaxy isn’t silent. Maybe it’s just whispering on a private network we haven’t plugged into yet.

This is an interesting study: using ground-based seismic data to track and localise incoming human-made space debris through re-entry shockwaves.

Reentry and disintegration dynamics of space debris tracked using seismic data
The risks posed by reentering space debris continue to grow as Earth’s orbit becomes more crowded. Currently, responses to uncontrolled reentries are hampered by an inability to reliably track spacecr...

Wrote up a bit about the textbook.
One of the reasons I wrote it is to give others a foundation to confidently teach SETI as a course. At Penn State the courses are Astro 476 (for majors) and 576 (for astrobiology grad students).
If you try it out, hit me up for the "teacher's edition"!

“Perhaps the absurd thing was not the absurdity of a cow using tools," one researcher said, "but the absurdity of us never thinking that a cow might be intelligent.”
