Sky & Telescope article: Where have all the aliens gone?

January 20, 2010

If intelligent life is common in the galaxy, then the fact that we have not yet observed any extraterrestrials raises the question: where are they? The upcoming March issue of Sky & Telescope magazine features an article written by myself and Seth Baum where we discuss how the conspicuous absence of extraterrestrials may relate to the problem of sustainable development on Earth.

Funny story, we were initially slated for the January issue (we even made the table of contents), but a printing error lost the last 10 pages which sadly included our article. Nevertheless, the Sky & Telescope staff are excellent people to work with and made a fast turnaround. Be sure to check out the March issue!
