'Earth-like' Exoplanet Likely Not Habitable

VOA News
November 18, 2015

An exoplanet thought to be the most Earth-like may not be
habitable after all due to the large amount of radiation it
receives, researchers said.

Writing in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society,
researchers at the University of Warwick say Kepler-438b has
likely had its atmosphere "stripped away" due to "superflaring"
of its star, the Red Dwarf Kepler-438.

The researchers said the flaring occurs regularly "every few
hundred days," and are many times more powerful than similar
flares coming from our Sun. To get an idea how strong the flares
are, the researchers said they are roughly equivalent to 100
billion megatons of TNT.

But the flares alone aren't enough to strip away a planet's
atmosphere. Coronal mass ejections, which accompany flares can
strip away the atmosphere and subject it to harsh UV and X-ray
radiation.

"Unlike the Earth's relatively quiet sun, Kepler-438 emits strong
flares every few hundred days, each one stronger than the most
powerful recorded flare on the Sun," said David Armstrong of the
University of Warwick's Astrophysics Group. "It is likely that
these flares are associated with coronal mass ejections, which
could have serious damaging effects on the habitability of the
planet.

"If the planet, Kepler-438b, has a magnetic field like the Earth,
it may be shielded from some of the effects. However, if it does
not, or the flares are strong enough, it could have lost its
atmosphere, be irradiated by extra dangerous radiation and be a
much harsher place for life to exist".

Kepler-438b is thought to be of similar size to Earth with the
same temperatures.

NASA Working On a New Tool to Search for ET

Rick Pantaleo
VOA Science World Blog
November 18, 2015

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, California is
developing what they're calling a 'chemical laptop' to help
search for extraterrestrial life.

The battery-powered device is actually a miniature laboratory
that's being equipped to consume and analyze samples in order to
detect any material that might be associated with life, such as
amino and fatty acids.

Once developed, NASA says that they'd like to send it out on a
spacecraft to a destination such as Mars or Europa, one of the
moons of Jupiter.

NASA describes the device is a chemical analyzer that's about the
size of a laptop computer. And, like a computer their 'chemical
laptop' can be programmed and reprogrammed to perform a variety
of functions.

To see how the chemical laptop performed outside of the
laboratory, the researchers conducted a successful field test
last year at JPL's Mars Yard, a simulated Martian landscape. The
new device's next test will take place soon in the Atacama Desert
in Chile.

Analysts Warn Middle East Hackers Trying to Attack US
Infrastructure

Doug Bernard
November 18, 2015

Security in Washington and across the United States is tightening
this week, following a new video reportedly released by Islamic
State specifically threatening an attack on the American capital
similar to last week's brutal killings in Paris.

Police presence at government buildings, mass transit systems,
and other key locations has been noticeably stepped up in the
past several days, and Washington city leaders are urging
citizens to keep their eyes open to report any suspicious
behavior.

But while security officials work to harden potential targets
against any terrorist threats, a growing number of cybersecurity
analysts are warning some of the most critical U.S. assets are
all but unprotected: namely the nation's millions of digital
operational networks that control everything from water treatment
to manufacturing to the electric grid.

Even more ominously, there are new indications the fastest
growing cyberthreat is coming from hackers based in the Middle
East, including regions known to be controlled by IS, and that
unless something is done, the United States may soon face what
some are calling a "cyber Pearl Harbor."

Old, Outdated, and Vulnerable

U.S. electronic infrastructure is, "Generally speaking,
exceptionally vulnerable" according to Barak Perelman, co-founder
and CEO of the cybersecurity firm Indegy.

A graduate of Israel's Talpiot military program for outstanding
scientists, Perelman spent a decade serving in the Israeli
Defense Force on military cyber defense, and now helps industry
and governments protect against large-scale industrial disasters
brought on by cyberattack.

Perelman says nearly everything industrial, from oil production
and manufacturing to water treatment and power generation, is
controlled by small digital devices that monitor and adjust
industrial control equipment. These operational networks, or
"OTs" as Perelman calls them, are built by engineers and are
fundamentally different than the IT computer networks built by
programmers that power our computers and the Internet.

He says most OTs are very old.

"This equipment has been in place for the last few decades and
was not updated or upgraded. It was designed before security was
even thought of or talked about, so practices like
authentication, logging in with passwords, doesn't even exist in
many OT networks," Perelman told VOA.

Sounding the alarm over OT vulnerability isn't new. Speaking on
cyberissues in 2012, then Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta told
the Senate that "America faces the potential threat for another
Pearl Harbor" and that "technologically, the capability to
paralyze this country is there now."

In 2014, NSA chief Adm. Michael Rogers said of a major
cyberattack striking the United States that it's only a matter of
"when" we are going to see something dramatic.

The former head of U.S. Cyber Command, Gen. Keith Alexander, also
warned of a "doomsday" scenario where U.S. transportation,
manufacturing and the electric grid are paralyzed for weeks or
months by cyber weapons, leaving tens of millions cold, hungry,
and in the dark.

Perelman agrees it's only a matter time before an adversary
launches a potentially crippling strike on sensitive U.S.
infrastructure. But he cautions investments aren't being made to
protect these systems. That's because, in Perelman's view,
cybersecurity is heavily dominated by IT professionals who just
don't understand the more engineering-dominated OT world.

"We have to start now before something terrible happens,"
Perelman warns. "Unfortunately we're hearing from many facilities
we're talking to that they simply cannot get the budget or
government support. It seems sometimes like everyone is just
sitting and waiting for an attack before they do something, which
is not the way to be."
