SETI Expands the Search for Alien Signals — Have We Been Listening to the Wrong Radio Channel?

Scientists Are Expanding the Search for Alien Signals to New Radio Frequencies

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: what if aliens have already reached out, and we accidentally left them hanging? A new study led by University of Manchester researcher […] The post Scientists Are Expanding the Search for Alien Signals to New Radio Frequencies appeared first on VICE.

Scientists Say Alien Signals May Be on a Different Radio Channel

Researchers from the University of Manchester presented findings at the Royal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting in Birmingham suggesting that traditional searches for extraterrestrial intelligence may have been tuned to the wrong frequencies. Lead author Dr. Louisa Mason argued that the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has historically focused on a narrow frequency band known […]

SETI Expands the Search for Alien Signals — Have We Been Listening to the Wrong Radio Channel?

Discover why we focused on one small slice of the radio spectrum for decades and how new technology and strategies are expanding the search.

SETI Scientists Think Alien Signals Could Be Hiding in Old Telescope Data

Researchers are zeroing in on more deliberate “narrow-band” alien signals, well outside the radio frequencies SETI has focused on for decades.

Could Alien Signals Be Hiding On A Different Radio Channel?

Astronomers searching for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence may have been missing alien signals in part of the radio spectrum that has not recently been explored. Most radio SETI (Search […] The post Could Alien Signals Be Hiding On A Different Radio Channel? appeared first on Astrobiology.
