They might even be able to conclude that this star had to have been created by an intelligent life form, a life form that may have achieved something no other life form had ever done before.

On September 11, 1999, humanity made a monumental discovery in the vastness of space. Scientists uncovered an asteroid of immense scientific importance—a colossal celestial entity. As massive as an aircraft carrier and towering as high as the iconic Empire State Building, this cosmic titan was later named Bennu. Remarkable for much more than its size, Bennu belonged to a rare breed of asteroids capable of revealing the essence of life itself. But just as Bennu became a beacon of promise, researchers identified a grave danger.

Earth, from space, looks like a shimmering gem suspended in an inky, infinite expanse.

The placid appearances of our neighboring planets similarly belie their powers—and science fiction-worthy features, like diamond rain.
