When the aliens call, who’ll answer?
A new poll suggests that 77 percent of Americans think there’s evidence that aliens have already visited Earth. The same poll suggests most Americans think President Barack Obama would do a better job than presumptive GOP challenger Mitt Romney if we had to fight off an alien invasion. And if we have to rely on a superhero to save us, they’d rather go with the Hulk than Batman.
That somewhat silly survey was conducted to tout a “Chasing UFOs” TV series on the National Geographic Channel, but the results raise a serious question: If an alien civilization does get in touch with us, who’s in charge of figuring out what to do?

Seth MacFarlane donates Carl Sagan’s papers to Library of Congress
Not only is he rebooting Sagan’s iconic Cosmos TV series for Fox next year (starring Neil deGrasse Tyson, no less), now he has generously donated money to allow the U.S. Library of Congress to acquire Carl Sagan’s personal papers.
Included in the papers are personal letters, drafts of the Contact screenplay, academic articles, and the childhood drawing that you see above.
It’s appropriate that the great communicator of science, who believed that it should be accessible to everyone, should have his personal papers given the same privilege.

Apple’s iPhone 4 is still at the top of the list for Flickr users, according to analysis of the 7.2 billion photos uploaded to the site between April and June.
The phone, which was No. 1 last year as well, has beaten out several actual cameras — the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EOS Rebel T2I, and Nikon D90 — as well as its brethren, the iPhone 4S, which made the list at No. 3.
