According to a new study, NASAs new Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite has detected its first alien world, a super-Earth that is likely evaporating under the heat from its star. In the search for alien life, researchers have discovered an "intriguing" radio signal emanating from the star system closest to the sun, according to a media report. The Guardian reports that researchers at the Breakthrough Listen project, which is "the largest ever scientific research program aimed at finding evide...

If we can’t find intelligent life in our own solar system, it would be nice to find it in one of the nearby systems. Ideally, that would be Proxima Centauri, the small red dwarf star located 4.2465 light-years away from the Sun with two confirmed exoplanets, of which one — Proxima Centauri b – is in the star’s so-called habitable zone. Its suitability for life has been in question recently, but that discussion may be mute with news from the Breakthrough Listen project that a narrow beam...

Image: ESO/M. Kornmesser Researchers with the Breakthrough Listen project have detected a curious signal originating from Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the Sun. The signal has been designated as a possible alien transmission, but like so many examples in the past, this latest detection is probably another dead end.

Astronomers hunting for radio signals from alien civilizations have detected an "intriguing signal" from the direction of Proxima Centauri, the nearest star system to the sun, The Guardian reported.

Was Pentagon researching on alien and UFO-related incidents? Proxima Centauri is the nearest star system to the solar system, and it is located just 4.2 light-years away from the earth. Since its discovery in 1915 by Scottish astronomer Robert Innes, Proxima Centauri has perplexed space scientists, especially due to its low energy production rate. And now, researchers who have been searching for life outside earth have detected unexplained radio signals coming from the direction of this star. T...

  Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb says that advanced extraterrestrial life is less speculative than dark matter or extra dimensions, or, as Scientific American observes, it’s never aliens, until someday, it is. The Guardian leaked the news that a “tantalizing” radio signal, BLC-1, appears to have come from Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the sun at just 4.2 light-years. The signal was detected in archival data gathered last year by the Breakthrough Listen team using the Parkes radi...

Cherney, CSIRO The Parkes radio telescope in New South Wales, Australia, run by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), recently detected an unexplained radio signal coming from the direction of Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the sun. Astronomers searching for signs of life beyond Earth have spotted something strange. An as-yet unexplained radio...
