Signal was heard in late 2020 for the first time, and has apparently reappeared now.
Originally posted in /pol/, but the discussion soon revolved around xenocide, space jews and electrokinetic weaponry. It was as much fun as it sounds, but I was interested in more sober takes on the topic.
Also, general seti-thread.

The most exciting thing to look for in radio astronomy is the LOFAR exoplanet aurora-borealis observations.

They were one of the theoretical arguments for making LOFAR as sensitive as it is.

During the last year observations were being carried out so successfully every news website was writing about them. They observed them a few years ago too, but now its becoming mainstream, because they are realizing it might be a new, effective way to detect exoplanets.

The way aurora excite electrons tells a lot about the planet including about its potential to support life.

As much as i want to believe alien radio signal, lets be honest. Theres a higher chance that Santa is real.

It's not, that's why I'm asking.
Even the paper on the last observation is not published yet.
>>12565023
Thanks, I'll take a read.

Btw, learned about it first on the event horizon podcast, that's why I was excited to hear about it again, even if the source is somewhat questionable.

What if this is real?
I wonder what our place in the universe is if it is real. God sent his son down to Earth so we are something special. But how can we be special if he allowed other intelligent beings in the universe?

It can't be real, right?

there are literary a tausand radio stations listen to proxima all the time.
if there was signal we messure it.

if there was signal it would be there all the time,
so is the signal from earth to them

it's not far. 4.2 lightyears
it has no planets

I saw the other thread on /pol/, but it archived, so I came to /sci/ hoping to find anything more about the cool music coming from the apparent vicinity in our night sky of Proxima Centauri, and am happy to find this thread.

The signal may simply be some sort of "radar" used in bursts by the approaching vessel to know the positions of the bodies in our solar system, but it's just as likely communications (intended for us... or someone else nearby).

Where the fuck can I *listen* to the signal? (Link to websdr freq settings or w/e plz).

The paper on the signal is not out yet, but it had no "content" in it so it was pretty much static.

If radio astronomers actually had heard anything from Proxima last friday, we would've heard of it by now.

The problem is the star itself, this type of red dwarf is believed to have massive, periodic flares that would strip away the atmosphere of any planet in its habitable zone pretty quickly.

It's not unusual for them to take time. Nothing is more emberrassing than rushing to publish your findings, and to find out two weeks later that your ET signal was actually a microwave oven in your cafeteria, or something like that.

Yes, the signal would just be a long "beep", essentially. Not very exciting on it's own, but such narrow-band signals are unheard of from natural sources. (Even so, it could come from a natural source that we don't understand yet.)

dude i fucking WISH there was an extraterrestrial signal.

But after you have been following radio astronomy for 10+ years and every single *new* signal is Aliens!Aliens!Aliens! you just stop believing.

Same as realizing that my dad is never coming home, it is never going to be aliens.

even though young minds greatly lack of knowledge and wisdome, predominantly young scientists make breakthrough discoveries. now take a slow breath and deeply re-prosess it again.

we dont know, untill that, both outcomes are equal. lets wait the paper, should be soon in the month.
