What interstellar visitors like ‘Oumuamua teach about alien planetary systems
What can a piece of debris from another star tell astronomers about planets they may never see directly? The answer has changed dramatically since the first confirmed object from another star crossed ...
For four decades, many SETI experiments have focused on finding sharp spikes in frequency but the new study says signals may not stay narrow as they travel away from their home system.
A new study by the SETI Institute suggests that the alien signals might be right here, surrounding us all of the time, and we're just unable to pick them out.
