"Renowned for Sound" gave "R.O.S.E." 3.5 out of 5 stars, with Rachael Scarsbrook saying that "splitting an album into four chunks is a brave move for a popstar, in a genre when fans are a little more casual and expect everything to be delivered to them in one all consuming format. That said, "R.O.S.E." feels like Jessie J almost fully rejecting her more mainstream appeal in order to put out a collection of tracks that mean a great deal to her on a more personal level. It might not be the kind of thing I normally go for, but as a project it's actually quite skilled and enjoyable." Track listing.

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a way of proving that a digital item is the only one of its kind in existence. Therefore it cannot be copied or reproduced without the owner's knowledge and consent. They can be thought of as a digital certificate of authenticity. NFTs are bought and sold online. They claim to be digital proof of ownership of a given item. NFTs are securely recorded on a blockchain. They are called non-fungible because each one is the only one. This is different from cryptocurrency and other types of money, in which each coin or each dollar or each euro is exactly the same as all the other coins, dollars, and euros.  Computers work hard to make and trade NFTs. This means they need a lot of energy, which comes from fuel. In this way, some scientists think NFTs cause pollution and harm the environment.
The Wow! signal was a strong radio signal received on August 15, 1977, by Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope in the United States, which was being used at the time in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The signal appeared to come from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius and met all the expectations of a signal of alien origin. Astronomer Jerry R. Ehman found the signal a few days after it was received while reviewing printout of the data collected by the telescope. He was so impressed by the strength of the signal that he circled the text that represented it, "6EQUJ5", and wrote the comment "Wow!" on its side, leading to the event's widely used name. The entire signal was detected for the full 72-second window during which Big Ear was able to observe it, but has not been detected since, even though many, such as Ehman, have tried. Many explanations have been given on where the signal comes from, including natural and human-made sources, but none of them have been accepted by scientists as good enough to fully explain the signal. Although the Wow! signal did not have any known message within it, it remains the strongest candidate for an alien radio transmission ever detected. Background. In a 1959 paper, Cornell University physicists Philip Morrison and Giuseppe Cocconi hypothesized that any extraterrestrial civilization trying to communicate with radio signals might do so using a frequency of megahertz ( centimeters), because is naturally emitted by hydrogen, which is the most common element in the universe, and is likely familiar to all technologically advanced civilizations. In 1973, after completing a survey of radio sources coming from other galaxies, Ohio State University assigned the Ohio State University Radio Observatory (nicknamed "Big Ear") to the scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), in the longest-running program of this kind in history. The radio telescope was located near the Perkins Observatory on the campus of Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. In 1977, Ehman was working at the SETI project as a volunteer; his job involved going through large amounts of data processed by a computer and recorded on paper.
