Strange radio signals from Proxima Centauri, the star closest to the solar system. May belong to aliens – BBC Thai
A source in the field of astronomy told the Guardian newspaper that Scientists in the SETI program are investigating the origin of strange radio signals from outside the solar system. Which they detected last year It is possible that it is a signal from Alien technology. They live on one of the planets of Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our solar system.
The bizarre signal is a radio wave emitted in a narrow beam of 980 MHz in a direct direction coinciding with the position of the proxy centauri, which the star is a red dwarf distant from. Earth is only 4.2 light years away.
The results of the preliminary examination indicated that The signal is not from satellites or man-made technology And are moving in a way that is consistent with the planet’s orbit as well It makes it suspicious that it might be a signal sent from the surface of Proxima b, a Proxima Centauri satellite that was previously believed to be conducive to the existence of life.

Scientists at Seti’s Breakthrough Listen project, who are studying the matter. Named the radio beam BLC1 and pointed out that it was the first extraterrestrial signal in more than 40 years of the very possibility of extraterrestrial beings.
The source also stated that The radio signal from the Proxima Centauri is as important as the Wow! Signal from the constellation of the Archer, discovered in 1977, which is considered the most likely in history. That will be communication from aliens
However, many experts are unconvinced that the latest detectable signal belongs to aliens. According to Scientific American sources, the BLC1 signal does not appear to contain any meaningful information, and it may simply be a radio signal coming from a human spacecraft.

The chances that the Proximab planet is home to that organism. The data from the newest studies suggest that this may not be possible. Because there is no atmosphere and the surface is hot Because it is too close to the star
Professor Lewis Dartnell, a biologist at the University of Westminster in the United Kingdom, comments: “The chances that this signal aren’t that of aliens are very high. We have been searching for aliens for a long time. But to come back to meet at the doorstep In this adjacent solar system The more the impossibility to add even higher. “
“Chances are that two civilizations will occur in the same galaxy. Which contains four hundred billion stars and still come in close proximity to each other It’s totally unreasonable, ”Prof Dartnell said.
