Galaxy Video: Meteors, Aurora Borealis And Milky Way Shimmer In Time-Lapse Extravaganza (VIDEO)
Unless there's a meteor shower, we don't usually notice things moving up in space.
“Time” is the most used noun in the English language , yet it remains a mystery. We’ve just completed an amazingly intense and rewarding multidisciplinary conference on the nature of time , and my brain is swimming with ideas and new questions. Rather than trying a summary (the talks will be online soon), here’s my stab at a top ten list partly inspired by our discussions: the things everyone should know about time.

If intelligent alien life forms do exist out in the vastness of the space, they might not be the friendly cosmic neighbors the people of Earth are looking for, famed British scientist Stephen Hawking says in a new television series chronicling his work to explore the secrets of the universe. An advanced spacefaring extraterrestrial civilization could end up wandering the universe in enormous spaceships on the prowl for vital materials after consuming the natural resources of their own world, Hawking explains in an episode of the show "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking ," which premiered Sunday on the Discovery Channel. "Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they could reach," Hawking said. "If so, it makes sense for them to exploit each new planet for material to build more spaceships so they could move on. Who knows what the limits would be?"
