One of the longest-standing techniques in humanity’s search for life beyond Earth may be causing scientists to miss alien ...

New SETI research suggests space weather like solar winds could be interfering with alien radio signals, making them harder ...

Radio silence has long puzzled those searching for extraterrestrial intelligence, but the answer might lie much closer to the ...

We may be missing alien radio signals because they have become smeared beyond the narrowband detectors that SETI utilizes, a new study suggests.

Follow up observations never found a repeat, which only deepened the mystery. The signal’s narrow bandwidth and intensity looked exactly like the kind of artificial tone that early SETI papers had ...

A new study by researchers at the SETI Institute suggests that stellar "space weather" could make radio signals from extraterrestrial intelligence harder to detect. Stellar activity and plasma ...

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.

Solar winds near aliens’ homes – and ours – might be blowing away signs of alien technosignatures by broadening signals The ...

A new study by researchers at the SETI Institute suggests stellar "space weather" could make radio signals from ...

June 18, 2025, Mountain View, CA – The SETI Institute and SpaceX have launched a groundbreaking collaboration to help protect sensitive radio astronomy observations at the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) ...

SETI has spent decades listening for a sharp, well-defined radio signal that could indicate it was sent by distant intelligent life. Now researchers believe that space weather could distort and blur s ...

The recent, widely covered signal that's allegedly got SETI hot and bothered is almost certainly not aliens. But that doesn't mean it's not cool. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X ...
