Radio waves baffle astronomers ... and scientists are looking for the presence of aliens after the signals coming from the closest stars to the sun
Are there aliens?
Astronomers were baffled by radio waves captured from the star "Proxima Centauri", which is the closest to the sun, so they decided to search for the possibility of alien life, which were captured during 30 hours of reconnaissance by the Parks Telescope in Australia in April May last year.
Scientists are still conducting a greater number of tests, experiments and studies in order to determine their source, and that first passes by determining whether the source of these waves is from Earth and not space.
In the same context, many researchers believe that the sources of these waves could be from Earth as well, as it happened earlier when strange explosions of radio waves were detected using the Parks Telescope or the Greenbank Observatory in West Virginia, but all of them so far have been attributed to interference From man-made waves or natural sources.
However, what really attracts attention in these last waves is the direction of the narrow beam, about 980 MHz, and the apparent shift in its frequency, which is said to be consistent with the movement of the planets, has added to the confusing nature of this discovery. Scientists are now preparing a paper on waves, called BLC1, for the Breakthrough Listen Project, a project looking for evidence of life in space, the paper found.
The star, "Proxima Centauri", is a red dwarf star 4.2 light years from Earth.
"Wow" sign
It is a short-lived, narrow-band radio signal captured during the search for extraterrestrial intelligence by Big Ear Radio in Ohio in 1977.
The unusual sign, which got its name after astronomer Jerry Eman wrote the phrase "Wow!" Along with the data, it unleashed a wave of excitement, although Imman cautions against drawing "broad conclusions from the semi-big data".
The Breakthrough Listen project was launched in 2015 by Yuri Milner, and aims to eavesdrop on millions of stars closest to Earth; Hoping to spot stray or deliberate satellite broadcasts.
The challenge for the Breakthrough Listen astronomers and others who dedicate themselves to creating intelligent life in the sky is to identify potential "technical fingerprints" between the constant chatter of radio waves from Earth's equipment, natural cosmic phenomena, and devices orbiting the planet.
Are there advanced aliens? Is it more advanced than humans, and will they invade Earth?
Questions that seem irrational or even ridiculous to some, but the possibility of rational creatures in space is gaining more attention from NASA than ever before.
The search for extraterrestrial life by the international space agencies is focused on the presence of microbes in the framework of our solar system, and it is specifically raised in the case of Mars, but in recent years the search has begun to take a different direction.
Projects like Kepler and HARPS have done something incredible that scientists have increasingly considered trying to answer this shocking question: Are there advanced aliens or rational non-human creatures?
These projects have launched our knowledge of planets outside the solar system to an enormous level, which increases the chances of the existence of advanced extraterrestrials, according to a report published on the Science Alert website.
The search for intelligent aliens is ancient, but there are pressures that have forced NASA to stop
The search for intelligent beings in the universe has occupied a number of organizations, including the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), founded by astronomers Carl Sagan and Jill Tarter, and the Breakthrough Initiatives, founded by physicist Yuri Milner with support from Stephen Hawking.
Historically, though, NASA's involvement in these searches has been minor. NASA ran the SETI program for just one year in the early 1990s, before it was closed. Because of political pressure.
What happened to make scientists consider the possibility of advanced aliens?
As a result of the efforts of projects such as Kepler and HARPS, among others, 3779 planets have been confirmed from a variety of observatories, with thousands of other planets nominated to join the list, most of which have been discovered in the past ten years, and with this growing number of planets comes a renewed > enthusiasm for the answer.
Question: On one of those planets in this vast universe, are there advanced aliens? Does this enormous breadth provide an opportunity for life to exist?
Research is now becoming more promising than ever before, and recent observations and discoveries have only fueled the fire of scientific curiosity about the answer to this question, which seems to some ridiculous, but is not the case for many scientists.
Kepler's discovery in 2015 of irregular fluctuations in brightness, in what became known as Tabby's Star, led - according to NASA - to speculation of the existence of a giant and strange space structure, although scientists have since concluded that the dust cloud is the possible cause of that Twists and turns. "
Nevertheless, the Tabby star has demonstrated the potential benefit of looking for anomalies in data collected from space.
And that anomaly being sought may manifest signs of technologically advanced life as deviations from the norm.
