After evolving a digital heart (not the pacemaker kind) out of inky veins, Jamie just wants an excuse to learn something new. But he’s fully aware his 32 years’ experience in the news industry has given him just enough knowledge to be dangerous. International affairs. History. Defence. Science. Space. Technology. He has a fascination for them all – particularly when it comes to social fallout. Translating tough concepts into common terms is his craft. His passion is to explore the big picture encompassing world events.

Images and video released by North Korean state media purport to show the preparations and launch of yesterday's successful ICBM test. Initial analysis of the photos reveal the missile to be a radically improved design over that which startled the world in September.

Kim’s Korea ‘will be utterly destroyed’

THE US Ambassador to the UN has declared North Korea’s missile test ‘brings us closer to war’, as analysts reveal the regime’s ICBMs just got a whole lot harder to intercept.

This handout photo released by the European Southern Observatory on November 20, 2017 shows an artist's impression of the first interstellar asteroid: Oumuamua. This unique object was discovered on 19 October 2017 by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawaii. Subsequent observations from ESO's Very Large Telescope in Chile and other observatories around the world show that it was travelling through space for millions of years before its chance encounter with our star system. `Oumuamua seems to be a dark red highly-elongated metallic or rocky object, about 400 metres long, and is unlike anything normally found in the Solar System. / AFP PHOTO / European Southern Observatory / M.

This artist’s impression shows the temperate planet Ross 128 b, with its red dwarf parent star in the background. This planet, which lies only 11 light-years from Earth, was found by a team using ESO’s unique planet-hunting HARPS instrument. The new world is now the second-closest temperate planet to be detected after Proxima b. It is also the closest planet to be discovered orbiting an inactive red dwarf star, which may increase the likelihood that this planet could potentially sustain life. Ross 128 b will be a prime target for ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope, which will be able to search for biomarkers in the planet's atmosphere.

New target in search for life

AS FAR as alien planets go, this one is ideal. It’s warm. Its parent star is stable. And it’s next door.
