Strange Signals from Outer Space!

For decades some have suspected that there might be others out there, intelligent beings capable of communicating with us, even visiting our world. It might sound like science fiction, but today scientists from across the globe are scouring the universe for signals from extraterrestrials.

In 2006, husband and wife team Duncan Lorimer and Maura McLaughlin discovered an enigmatic signal from space, known as a fast radio burst. It was a pulse of radiation so bright, it didn't appear to be caused by any known object in the universe. Explanations ranged from colliding neutron stars to communication signals from an alien civilisation far more advanced from our own.

Scientists have been searching the cosmos for strange signals like the Lorimer Burst for more than 50 years. The film ends with scientists' latest search for extraterrestial intelligence. Horizon obtained exclusive access to film researchers at the Green Bank Telescope searching for radio signals from Tabby's Star, a star so mysterious that some scientists believe it might be surrounded by a Dyson Sphere, a vast energy collector built by advanced aliens.-read more and see programme

Barbara Raines 26.05.5.2017.in memory of my mum

What can I say about the person I knew as my mum;the person who brought me -mark ;nicky;joanne;jayne into the world. Mum was the one who never told me off when I bunked off school or put a football  through the front room window. She was married to my  dad -Paul Tony Raines who died 13.05.2013;for nearly fifty years. She was not perfect as obsessive with her cleaning but I will  always remember her taking me and Nicky for a meal after work -then as a cleaner at southend hospital I enjoyed the banana split for afters. I would ring  her every week for a chat and she always give to all her grandchildren. Still least she got to see us all get married and see her girls have children if their own. So how do I say goodbye to my mum with a gaze into the Stars and hope she is looking down on me and my sisters and extended family so we can say thank you for being  my mum. -</div>

It's much easier to hack someone than you might think.

Last year, online privacy and security firm HideMyAss! enlisted a seven-year-old in a social experiment, giving her the opportunity to hack a participant’s laptop and access private information.

The primary school pupil managed to find out the person’s email, web history and other information simply by following a downloadable online guide.
