World’s Biggest Alien Search Enters Final Stage With 100 Mystery Signals
SETI scientists are using China’s FAST radio telescope to examine the final 100 unexplained signals from the historic SETI@home project. While experts expect most to be radio interference, the search marks the culmination of a massive global citizen science effort and sets new standards for future hunts for extraterrestrial intelligence.

Astronomers Discover Most Distant And Powerful Odd Radio Circle In The Universe
A rare discovery in deep space has stunned astronomers: twin radio rings surrounding a galaxy about 7 billion light-years away. Known as an odd radio circle (ORC), this is the most distant and powerful ever found. Citizen scientists first spotted it, and LOFAR confirmed its existence, opening new insights into galactic and black hole evolution.

Father and Daughter Decode Mysterious Signal From Space: What Does It Mean?
In 2023, a cosmic puzzle was decoded by a father-daughter team of citizen scientists. The message, originating from Mars, reveals five amino acids. While the project simulated an extraterrestrial transmission, the meaning of these amino acids remains uncertain. Could they represent life? Or perhaps something more? This fascinating puzzle has ignite...
