SETI Scientists Searched Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS for Alien Signals
SETI researchers used the Allen Telescope Array to scan interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS for artificial radio signals. No techno-signatures were detected, but the observations improved methods for future searches.

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.

Scientists Study 100 Possible Alien Signals as Arecibo’s Historic SETI Search Concludes
Scientists are studying 100 possible alien radio signals identified from Arecibo Observatory data, bringing the 21-year SETI@Home project to a close. Supported by millions of volunteers, the effort found no confirmed alien messages but set new sensitivity standards. Researchers say the findings will guide future searches using more powerful radio t...

Rare Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Fails Alien Test, Scientists Say
The most sensitive radio search ever conducted on interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has found no signs of alien technology. Using the Green Bank Telescope, scientists scanned key radio bands during its closest approach to Earth. All detected signals were linked to interference, strengthening the view that 3I/ATLAS is a natural object.

Chinese Astronomers Search for Extraterrestrial Signals in TRAPPIST-1 System
Chinese scientists turned the world’s most sensitive radio telescope, FAST, toward the TRAPPIST-1 system, a promising site for alien life with seven rocky planets. Although no signals were detected, the study set new limits on possible extraterrestrial transmissions and highlighted advanced techniques driving today’s search for intelligent life...

New Study Challenges Great Filter Theory, Suggests Life Evolves with Planetary Changes
A recent study argues that intelligent life does not emerge by sheer luck but evolves when planetary conditions become suitable. Researchers challenge the "great filter" concept, suggesting that Earth's changing geobiology influenced when life arose rather than a series of improbable events. This perspective shifts the focus to how planetary enviro...

Arecibo Observatory Data Helps SETI Uncover Secrets of Pulsar Signals and Cosmic Distortions
Data from the now-collapsed Arecibo Observatory continues to drive major discoveries in space science. Sofia Sheikh and her team from the SETI Institute utilised archived data to investigate the signals of pulsars—dense neutron stars emitting radiation like cosmic lighthouses. Their study focused on how these signals are distorted by interstellar...

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...

New Research Investigates Whether TRAPPIST-1 Planets Are Sending Radio Signals
A team of astronomers from Penn State and the SETI Institute has conducted a significant study on the TRAPPIST-1 star system, aiming to detect possible radio signals between its planets. Over 28 hours, they explored for indications of communication similar to those we use on Earth. Although no signals were found, the research highlighted promising ...

SETI Uses Radio Frequencies to Look for Alien Life in More Than 1,000 Galaxies
Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) recently conducted a search of more than 1,300 galaxies for signs of alien life using unexplored low radio frequencies. The search was reportedly performed using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), a radio telescope located in the Australian outback. This effort targeted radio frequencies in the 80...

Astronomers Find Likely Source Of "Wow Signal" Received In 1977
Fifty years since a mysterious radio signal was received by a radio telescope on Earth, astronomers have claimed that they have found its source.

Scientists Explore if the Mysterious ‘Wow!’ Signal in 1977 Come From a Sun-Like Star 1,800 Light-Years Away
A study recently published on May 6 indicates that the signal likely came from a Sun-like star located 1,800 light-years away from the Earth, in the constellation Sagittarius. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), which has been looking for intelligent lifeforms in the universe, is still studying the signal.
