The article details a groundbreaking interaction between human scientists and a humpback whale named Twain. Using underwater speakers, the Whale-SETI team played a whale call, and Twain responded by matching the call intervals. This marks the first known communicative exchange between humans and humpback whales. The team studies whale communication to understand complex signals, which could help detect extraterrestrial intelligence. By analyzing whale sounds with AI, they aim to uncover patterns that might aid in recognizing signals from outer space, merging marine biology with SETI research.

In May, a massive iceberg broke off from an Antarctic ice shelf, blocking a colony of emperor penguins at Halley Bay and isolating their newly-hatched chicks. Scientists feared for the chicks’ survival, as mothers might not be able to return with food. However, recent satellite images showed that the penguins are alive, though how they managed to access the sea remains unclear. The colony has struggled in recent years due to climate change and unstable sea ice, leading to significant challenges for the penguins. The iceberg, named A83, has made their situation even more precarious. As sea ice levels reach record lows, the chicks must survive until they can swim in December. The future of the colony remains uncertain, highlighting the difficulties these resilient penguins face in a rapidly changing Antarctic environment. #penguins #Antarctic #news #trendingnow #timesfeatured #animalsafety #survival
