a group of astronomers has detected a peculiarly strange signal coming from a star 94 light set just years of the solar system. For now it is unknown what causes it, talking of the possibility that it is a natural anomaly or the signal from an alien civilization. The first option is the most likely.
The signal was detected using the RATAN-600 radio telescope located in the Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia, and astronomers describe it as “a pretty strong signal towards the planetary system HD164595 “located in the constellation Hercules.
the signal detection took place last May 15, 2015 by a team of international astronomers, and the finding will be discussed at the conference of the Standing Committee . SETI on 27 September 2016
it is possible, according to the study in which the finding (led by astronomer NN was published Brusilov), the signal comes from an extraterrestrial civilization looking to make contact, whether such an advanced civilization that managed to exploit the potential of the star of your system (Kardashev II type) or one that managed to exploit 100% potential of its mother planet (Kardashev I type).
However, an astronomer at the SETI @ home dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial life project is not completely excited about this discovery. In fact, he says that in SETI @ home have detected similar signals that have proven to be one thing. A natural anomaly
And is that unfortunately we can not take this finding as evidence that extraterrestrial life exists. It could simply be an astronomical anomaly caused by a stellar call or an effect caused by a gravitational lens.
So before talking about aliens and alien megastructures we must consider that the simplest explanation might be correct. [Via Centauri Dreams / SETI @ home]
