As a planetary scientist at the SETI Institute, Maddy works to characterize the Martian and Lunar surfaces through statistical analyses of cratered terrains. Her recent publications describe how changes in Mars’ sedimentary rocks can inform us about regional and global climate patterns in the planet’s history.

Not Just Aliens is the SETI Institute’s weekly series featuring scientists exploring astrobiology, heliophysics, planetary science, and more — expanding the search for life beyond Earth.

Dr. Maddy Turner is a planetary scientist working as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute. Maddy’s primary research focuses on remote structural mapping and quantitative geomorphology of planetary bodies, including the development and implementation of methods.

New international SETI protocols are redefining how scientists would verify and announce evidence of alien technology. At the same time, the SETI Institute's Discovery and Futures Lab is asking an even bigger question: How will humanity respond?

Join Dr. Lauren Sgro, Dr. Lucian Walkowicz, and Dr. Chelsea Haramia for a conversation about science, ethics, communication, and our future among the stars.

#PPOD: These pareidolia-inducing clouds are a pair of nebulae called Gum 10 and Gum 11. Visible mostly from the southern hemisphere, they are part of a larger complex, in which stars are born. Gum 10 is the brightest cloud that occupies most of the image, whereas Gum 11 is the fainter, detached cloud to the bottom-left. Their bright glow comes from a special interaction between hydrogen and the hot massive stars in each nebula. Credit: ESO/VPHAS+ team

Astronomers have long focused their instruments on planets orbiting isolated, solitary stars. Yet, across the cosmos, stars rarely form in total isolation. In a recent SETI Live conversation, host and astrophysicist Dr. Moiya McTier sat down with York University astrophysicist Dr. Jeremy Webb to discuss a groundbreaking paper examining an entirely different cosmic context: the distribution of planetary systems along stellar streams.

#PPOD: This #meteorite was found in 2019 in northwest Africa and is officially named NWA 12774. Classified as an angrite, this relatively rare type of meteorite is made from material that formed just a few million years after the solar system began. Usually, angrites come from asteroids; however, analysis of certain crystals in NWA 12774 reveals a high aluminum concentration, indicating formation under intense pressure deep within a larger body.
