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 ...

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

Stellar plasma can smear alien radio signals before they escape their star system, making them harder for astronomers to detect.

A new study shows that stars with low magnetic activity are likely to support exoplanetary systems, making the hunt for these celestial objects less random.

A study by alien searchers at the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) could explain why humanity has ...

For decades, humanity has been looking for answers to unravel the mystery surrounding aliens’ existence, but they have failed ...

According to a new study, any alien civilizations out there? Probably short-lived — and doomed to fail spectacularly. For ...

E.T. could be phoning home — but we’re not hearing the call. A new study published in The Astrophysical Journal argues that “space weather” could be distorting incoming transmissions from ...

We might have missed signals from aliens because they are being disrupted by the conditions of space, scientists have warned.

Solar storms around distant stars may be erasing alien radio signals before we ever hear them In A Nutshell Stellar winds and ...

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

Beyond that, in the decades to come, we might be able to see the colours of an exoplanet’s surface, and determine if plant life might be present there. And then we can search for changes in a planet’s ...
