People have been looking up at the Milky Way for thousands of years, marveling at its vastness. It was only a matter of time before they began to wonder if life similar to ours could exist on the ...

A distant pulsar’s radio signal flickers as it passes through space, much like stars twinkle in Earth’s atmosphere. By monitoring this effect for 10 months, researchers watched the pattern slowly ...

The Discovery and Futures Lab’s mission is to anticipate and explore humanity’s responses to the discovery of life beyond Earth by connecting science with other kinds of research. It unites experts in ...

One of the longest-standing techniques in humanity’s search for life beyond Earth may be causing scientists to miss alien signals entirely, a new study finds. Since the very beginnings of the search ...

Solar winds and coronal mass ejections may scatter narrow signals, making them harder for Earth-based telescopes to detect. The SETI Institute uses radio telescopes to search for signs of intelligent ...

We may have been missing signals from intelligent aliens because of solar wind. Researchers from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute say this means we have been watching for ...

Narrowband signal detection as a potential indicator of artificial radio emissions. Doppler drift correction to account for relative motion between Earth and distant transmitters. Rigorous filtering ...

SETI scientists have detected signals that don’t behave like anything found in nature — narrowband, repeating, and drifting as if something is moving fast. Could these be side effects of alien ...

Over the years, SETI has detected signals that push the boundaries of what we consider natural phenomena. From the infamous SHGb02+14a to the highly structured BLC1 detection, and now fast radio ...

Astro Bot’s claim to the title of “PlayStation’s mascot” is getting stronger thanks to a sprawling collection of merch at Target, Walmart, and several other major and specialty retailers. PlayStation ...
