For decades, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence has focused on subtle whispers in the cosmic noise, the faint, orderly patterns that might betray a distant civilization. A new line of ...

An alien radio signal from K2-155 d? Are there any alien civilizations out there? For several decades, scientists have been searching for evidence that they exist. That effort is collectively known as ...

Space is full of electromagnetic radiation like radio signals, but those signals are usually coming from stars or black holes ...

If advanced aliens lived on a planet within a few hundred to a thousand light years away from Earth, then vast numbers of their signals must already have crossed Earth without being noticed, a new ...

When/if alien life ever cruises toward Earth in big spaceships, we’re probably not just going to see it; we’re going to hear it via narrow radio signals. If an extraterrestrial civilization wanted to ...

The discovery could help astronomers determine whether an outer world is suitable for life.

Researchers are zeroing in on more deliberate “narrow-band” alien signals, well outside the radio frequencies SETI has focused on for decades. Reading time 3 minutes For over half a century, the ...

What steps can be taken to identify why we haven’t received radio signals from an extraterrestrial intelligence, also called technosignatures? This is what a recent study published in The ...

On August 15, 1977, the Big Ear Radio Telescope in Delaware, Ohio, received the most powerful signal it would ever detect during its decades of observations. The signal lasted just 72 seconds, but ...

Scientists around the world have spent decades pointing radio telescopes at the sky, hoping to catch that one signal proving we’re not alone in the universe. But now researchers at SETI are asking: ...

"Natural astrophysical processes rarely generate extremely narrow spectral features while engineered transmitters often do," writes a team of astronomers including first author Zi ...
