Exciting end of the year! Just in these days is leaking the news of the reception of a radio signal that seems to come from the same direction in which Proxima Centauri is located. A star too faint to be seen by the Earth with the naked eye, but which has a unique feature: it is in fact the closest star to our solar system, just 4.2 light years away.
The signal has such characteristics as to prevent it from being dismissed a priori as a terrestrial interference, raising the vague possibility that it is a transmission that may come from some form of technologically advanced extraterrestrial intelligence. Seti detected this strange signal.

Picking up that strange radio emission were some of the astronomers involved in the Breakthrough Listen Project, promoted in 2015 by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner to detect forms of intelligence in the cosmos. An ambitious program, with a budget of $ 100 million to be spent in ten years, a kind of "SETI Renaissance" that sees in the front row the most prestigious names in research and the main Observatories of the world. A goal to be achieved by funding the purchase of "observation time" on radio telescopes around the world and checking one by one at least one million stars in our nearby universe.
And it was thanks to this "Joint venture" between capital and advanced technology that on April 29, 2019, the Parkes radio telescope, located in Australia's New South Wales, was pointed at the star Proxima Centauri. Not so much in search of aliens, but to study the giant flashes of light that Red Dwarf stars like Proxima frequently emit.
The second feature, really very suggestive, is that the signal has a slight Doppler effect, compatible with transmission from a moving planet. And as we know, Proxima Centauri has a planetary system consisting of a gas giant and a rocky body, "Proxima b", a little bit bigger than the Earth...
But seriously Could the signal come from that planet? Could it be?

Science doesn't even know how homo sapiens came to be. Evolution is an assumption. Miller-urey failed and no scientist knows how the first single celled organisms became the first fish, without an egg or a womb. Random genetic mutation?

Besides, complex life began 1.5 billion years ago, meaning 3 billion base pairs dna in 1.5 billion years, meaning 2 base pairs per year, randomly genetically, to make us? i don't think so. It is easier to explain life using angels and demons, and intelligent design.

Professor David Kipping talked about this recently in his YT channel 'cool worlds'. The signal was at 982.002 mhz. This video said we don't use that signal, but as Prof. Kipping mentioned we do sometimes use that frequency for telecommunication satellites. But the signal did come from a weird spot, it would have to have a very strange, ellipse orbit. It almost certainly was artificial, since nothing known in nature can possibly produce signals that narrow. But that actually is a frequency used by some telecom satellites, despite what this video says. I want it to be aliens too. But I'm not gonna deceive people to convince them it is.

[@chrisdraughn5941]

Molniya III Russian military satellites use that frequency range, and the tone with no modulation makes sense because their elliptical orbit each Molniya III constellation only is activity used for six hours before handing off to the next constellation. This also accounts for the Doppler shift.

[@zazethe6553]

You are right and wrong at the same time. Chemically speaking water is a unique molecule in the amount of processes it facilitates. We know all the elements that exist in the universe, and know much of the chemistry possible with all of them. Complex life resuires thousands of chemical reactions to exist. It's not impossible to do chemistry without water, but severely limits what is possible. So it's just a million times more likely for water to be involved in alien biology. Which is why water is searched for first, but life based on other chemistry is still possible, it's not fully excluded.

Got goosebumps from watching it, it glides so smoothly and the red thrusters give off a pretty red glow.

[@eventhisidistaken]

It's possible to calculate the equivalent isotropic power required by a transmitter at that distance to be received at the amplitude detected. It would be interesting to put that number into perspective - would it require an amount of power and antenna gain that is reasonable?

There’s a way through gravitational lensing that we could turn the sun into a camera to take pictures of exoplanets. I think we should seriously fund that and maybe put a radio telescope on the moon too

[@Matli-MC]

James WEBB hopefully launching in oct. 2021 - hopefully will provide next level data on exoplanets athmospheres -also gravitational lensing, it JWST seems legit to me - :D aaand maybe in 10 years a radio telescope orbiting Mars - cleaner environments, no microwave ovens :D

[@ezmyreldaandrade]

@@Matli-MC I forgot about the James Webb telescope.. I googled it but I couldn't tell if there is going to be any radio astronomy gear on it.. Do you know if there will be?

[@Matli-MC]

@@ezmyreldaandrade wiki list of Webb gears shows no radio tools - it will use near infrared (nIR) portion of the light spectrum - not radio waves.

[@spftapgodffyt9770]

Hmmm never thought of that, but after taking it to consideration I got to say,.......... Ur nuts

[@user-vh1si2zl9w]

@@spftapgodffyt9770 what’s nuts about that? Putting a radio telescope on the moon would allow us to view so much stuff and likely discover so much more about space. And the Gravitational lensing using the sun will allow us to capture pictures of exoplanets as a resolution of 1 pixel to 1 KM, meaning we could see land masses, mountains, oceans, and possibly civilization or alien built structures.

They are already here, since many millions years. In 1980 my father (among many people) saw a HUGE airship with around 8km (5 miles) lengh at least, in a good daylight. For us, is HUGE, for them, probably a tiny ship. He managed to see beings through the "windows" (even at distance). It emited a lot colors in light spectrum, like a rainbow. Absolutely silent (no noise). He told me few months before he passed away. He was a very serious person, and never was the type into making lies. I do believe him. I even saw something strange (some weird lights movements) years ago.

Just curious - but is it possible to listen to the signal? A soundclip of some sort available for others to just listen to - perhaps try and break it down?

What do you expect to hear at 982mhz? They said it was a single tone with no modulation so it would just sound like a beep if you down converted the frequency to something we can hear

[@RandomGamer-qy6ys]

Maybe the reason we haven’t seen any aliens yet is because we are really far away maybe even for a warp drive and maybe this is the first time they have ever been able to contact us, anybody notices how the closest star to us is almost 5 light years away that’s a long way for our closest star and then after that not for maybe 10-20 light years

I think their technological level is the same as us. And wondering if there are life on another planet.

[@RandomGamer-qy6ys]

@@tmyofficial1080 yes it might be because if they were more advanced they would probably be able to send videos or maybe come hear but they do just like us and send signals, we already sent a signal to Proxima before so maybe this is a response or smth or they just send it to see if we actually exist and if we will send a response back
