Scientists with the Breakthrough Listen project took up the mantle of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) several years ago, continuing the decades-long search for E.T. The project has just released its largest survey to date, consisting of more than 60 million stars…and no aliens.
There are numerous ways we might detect alien life, such as the presence of megastructures that obscure starlight or specific biosignatures in an exoplanet’s atmosphere. However, scanning for radio signals is the most efficient technique available with our current level of technology. Breakthrough Listen conducted its latest survey along a line of sight toward the center of the galaxy, taking advantage of the increasing star density to cover as many hypothet
Are there aliens out there? Based on statistics alone, the answer should be a resounding yes. The Milky Way has at least 100 billion stars and the vast majority of these have planets orbiting them. But while the numbers are on our side, evidence remains lacking.
The Breakthrough Listen project has delivered the first results of its massive new SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) survey in search of alien civilizations. And when we say massive, we mean massive. The observations looked at 60 million stars towards the galactic center, a region where stars are more tightly packed. By looking at quite a small but busy portion of the sky, astronomers can study lots of worlds.
