In 1977, astronomer Jerry Ehman detected a narrowband radio signal, far stronger than any that have been recorded before or since, using Ohio State University's Big Ear telescope as it was pointing in the direction of the Saggitarius constellation. Listener to the show, Donald, wants to know if any consensus has been reached as to the origin of the signal, which James Tytko sought to find out with the help of former BBC science editor, David Whitehouse.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, we're joined by Alison Kondler, an Audubon Master Birder—or as we like to call it, a certified bird guru. Alison wows us with her eerily accurate bird calls and shares her immense birding knowledge. We chat about the rarest birds you can spot in Colorado, the best apps for bird identification, why the American Ornithological Society (AOS) is renaming North American birds that are named after people, how to squirrel-proof your bird feeder, tips for turning your yard into a borderline bird sanctuary, and she finally settles the debate on whether birds are in fact government drones. If you're a bird lover—or even bird curious—this episode is for you. We wrap the show with a lively debate about whether thru-hiking belongs in the Olympics, the triple crown of underrated wildlife, a former guest obliterating the Arizona Trail FKT, and a generous dose of shameless self-promotion.

This week on Lost in Science, Chris investigates fresh research into the mysterious Wow! signal detected by the Big Ear radio telescope, and could it be evidence of a weird cosmic outburst? Meanwhile, Stu takes us on a journey through the sky—examining how microbes hitch a ride on atmospheric currents, traveling vast distances across the planet. How far can these tiny travelers go, and where do their limits lie? Tune in to find out!

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.The Wow! signal, detected on August 15, 1977, by Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope, remains one of the most intriguing mysteries in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. This powerful, narrowband radio signal lasted 72 seconds and has never been detected again, captivating scientists and enthusiasts with its potential implications for alien communication. Discovered by astronomer Jerry Ehman, the signal's unique characteristics, including its proximity to the hydrogen line frequency and its apparent origin from the constellation Sagittarius, have fueled decades of speculation and research.Despite numerous follow-up observations and technological advancements, the true nature of the Wow! signal remains elusive. Recent studies have proposed various explanations, from natural phenomena involving hydrogen cloud emissions to the possibility of a rare astrophysical event. The debate surrounding the signal's origin continues to inspire new research and spark discussions about potential alien communications, while also highlighting the challenges in distinguishing between natural and artificial cosmic signals.As SETI research evolves, new technologies like AI-powered search techniques and improved radio telescopes are revolutionizing our ability to detect and analyze potential technosignatures. The ongoing search for extraterrestrial intelligence remains a fascinating field, balancing scientific rigor with the tantalizing possibility of making contact with an alien civilization.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/the-wow-signal-S.5SxtUxQWabNx10JT.Mqw**Introducing the Race to Infinity**Until September 15th, log into Perplexity with your .edu email to redeem a free month of Perplexity Pro on us.Run, don't walk, because it gets better.

#264Some people in comas can understand what's happening around them. Previously estimated to be 1 in 10, that figure has now shot up to 1 in 5 – meaning this hidden awareness is much more common than we realised. Another new drug has been approved to reverse opioid overdoses. Zurnai is more powerful than previous medications, which may be useful as the supply of illicit drugs becomes increasingly toxic. But with the opioid epidemic having killed more than 80,000 people in the US last year alone, are there ways to abate this crisis so fewer people overdose in the first place?The mysterious Wow! signal, detected by the Big Ear radio telescope in the 70s, was an unusual burst of radio waves that astronomers couldn't explain – except, for some, the answer was aliens. Alien hunters have clung to this as the best potential evidence of extraterrestrial life, as the signal's origins have remained unexplained for 50 years. But we may have just figured out the answer to where it came from. Many mainframe computers in big organisations like banks, airlines and government departments still rely on ancient computer code dating back to the 60s. The trouble is, as mainframe computers have gone out of use in most other contexts, the programming language COBOL is no longer taught to up-and-coming coders. Could AI help, as our understanding of COBOL dies out?Record fast cooling in part of the Atlantic Ocean is baffling scientists. This cooling isn't linked to the normal La Niña wind patterns, so what else is at play?

Welcome to Astronomy Daily. I'm Anna, your guide on this cosmic journey. Today, we have a thrilling lineup of stories straight from the universe's farthest reaches. We'll dive into the discovery of ancient galaxies that shed light on the early universe, explore potential debris from NASA's DART mission making its way to Earth and Mars, and unveil stunning new images of Polaris, our North Star. We'll also decode the legendary WOW signal and discuss how longer Earth Daily influenced evolutionary milestones. So sit back, relax, and let's embark on this incredible voyage through space and time. - **Ancient Galaxies Discovered by China's FAST Telescope**: Astronomers using China's FAST telescope have made a groundbreaking discovery—six ancient galaxies teeming with hydrogen. This significant finding not only advances our understanding of the early universe but also highlights the extraordinary potential of modern radio telescopes. - **NASA's DART Mission Debris**: NASA's DART mission, which stands for Double Asteroid Redirection Test, made headlines when it successfully demonstrated a strategy for deflecting potentially hazardous asteroids using the kinetic impact method. On September 26, 2022, the DART spacecraft collided with Dimorphos, showcasing how we might protect our planet from future asteroid threats. - **Stunning New Images of Polaris**: Thanks to advancements in telescope technology, recent high-resolution images of Polaris, our North Star, have unveiled a deeper layer of its complexity. Captured by the CHARA Array on Mount Wilson in California, these images reveal large, bright, and dark spots on Polaris' surface, similar to sunspots. - **Decoding the WOW! Signal**: In 1977, the intriguing WOW signal, a powerful and narrow-band radio signal, was detected by the Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope. For decades, the source of this signal remained a mystery. However, recent research led by Abel Mendez from the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo suggests that the WOW signal was likely caused by the transient brightening of hydrogen clouds in space. - **Longer Earth Days and Evolutionary Milestones**: Recent studies have revealed a correlation between the moon's gradual departure from Earth and the lengthening of our planet's Daily. As the moon drifts away, it siphons off Earth's rotational energy, causing our planet's spin to slow and our Daily to lengthen. Over millions of years, these changes have added up, with days becoming more than 2 hours longer. For more Astronomy Daily, including our continually updating newsfeed, visit our website at astronomydaily.io. Follow us on social media at AstroDailyPod on Facebook, X, YouTubeMusic, and TikTok.

This is an absolute joy of a gig from John Paul Jones, who appeared at the Big Ears Music Festival in Knoxville, TN on March 22, 2024. He played all three days of the event. One night with Sons of Chipotle, one night solo (which is what I'm playing), and one night with Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth. Our boy gets around. I play a few tracks from his solo set, an isolated bass rendition of Ramble On (just a couple of minutes long), Since I've Been Loving You on the grand piano, an already legendary performance of Your Time is Gonna Come on a 1928 Wurlitzer organ, and a haunting, elegiac Down to the River to Pray, off of his solo album Zooma. This is a master class in virtuosity and humility. He's a genius and a very lovely man, who completely holds the torch for Led Zeppelin magick in this moment. Enjoy.

En sensommarkväll i augusti 1977 fångas en mystisk signal upp av Ohio state-universitetets radioteleskop “Big Ear”. Signalen är så kraftfull att forskaren Jerry R. Ehman markerar utskriften med ett "Wow!". Än idag är den unika radiosignalen en gåta inom rymdforskningen. Signalens korta varaktighet, kraft och avsaknad av upprepning har fascinerat både forskare och rymdentusiaster - men frågan kring signalens ursprung är fortfarande obesvarad.

On August 15, 1977, astronomers at the Big Ear observatory at Ohio State University captured what appeared to be an artificial radio transmission coming from the direction of the Sagittarius constellation. What is the backstory on this alleged extraterrestrial signal (known as the Wow! Signal)? What made astronomers that detected it so sure that it was not just static or noise coming from natural phenomenon? And more importantly, has ever been detected again? 

 Have aliens been trying to make contact since the first Star Wars was released? In 1977, astronomer Jerry Ehman was using a radio telescope called Big Ear from Ohio State University to scan the stars around the constellation Sagittarius. Ehman was going over the print-out of the recorded information and found that they had received a strong narrowband radio signal that bore the expected hallmarks of extraterrestrial origin.  Ehman was so excited by the discovery that he wrote “Wow!” in the margins after circling the data. But was this really our first alien contact? Find out in this episode!

We are gonna take a look at the WOW signal! What is it? Where did it come from? Is Owen Wilson involved? Well hopefully we'll find out… Maybe not… Who knows!   Some of you have heard of the wow signal and you may know a little about it already, hopefully we can give you guys some more insight today.    The story starts back in 1959 when two Cornell university physicists, Philip Morrison who was a professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He is known for his work on the Manhattan Project during World War II, and for his later work in quantum physics, nuclear physics and high energy astrophysics and Giuseppe Cocconi, who was an Italian physicist who was director of the Proton Synchrotron at CERN in Geneva. He is known for his work in particle physics and for his involvement with SETI. These two nerds speculated that there might be a specific radio frequency that an intelligent extraterrestrial life would use if they were trying to make contact. That frequency is 1420 megahertz.   https://youtu.be/M-SKyGnpTpM   That frequency was chosen for a particular reason, it is the same frequency naturally emitted by hydrogen. Now if you're up on your elements you know hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. It stands to reason, therefore, that hydrogen and thus its frequency would be familiar to any intelligent civilizations in the universe.    Then between 1965 and 1971 The Ohio State University Radio Observatory carried out the Ohio Sky Survey. Data was collected using the Big Ear radio telescope. The observatory was a Kraus-type (after its inventor John D. Kraus) radio telescope.  The observatory was part of The Ohio State University's Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project. Construction of the Big Ear began in 1956 and was completed in 1961, and it was finally turned on for the first time in 1963. The survey was primarily at a radio frequency of 1415 MHz, but data was also collected and evaluated at 2650 MHz and 612 MHz. Only one "channel" or band of frequencies was sampled for each frequency. The antenna was oriented to one declination at a time, (a declination is the angular distance of a point north or south of the celestial equator) and as the sky drifted past the meridian field of view, radio energy from that area was received and detected. Signal power was plotted on an analog chart recorder and also digitized and recorded on magnetic tape for later processing. A given declination was observed for a number of days before the telescope was moved to another declination in a systematic fashion.   The area surveyed was from declinations 63 degrees north to 36 degrees south, with a resolution at 1415 MHz of roughly 40 arc minutes in declination by 10 arc minutes in right ascension (RA). Over the course of the Survey, 19,620 sources at 1415 MHz were identified, of which 60% were previously uncataloged.   Some of the objects first identified by the Ohio Survey included quasars, objects of intense radiation and power at the edge of the then-known universe. The archived data subsequently permitted these and other sources to be reviewed over several years of observations. Later, the LOBES survey used most of the same apparatus as the Ohio Survey, and was able to automatically determine and verify the sources first charted by the Ohio Survey.   After the Ohio Sky Survey, Big Ear was put to use for Ohio State's SETI  research program. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is a collective term for scientific searches for intelligent extraterrestrial life, for example, monitoring electromagnetic radiation for signs of transmissions from civilizations on other planets. Now we are already getting kind of nerdy so we are not going to get into the history of SETI and all of the people that were involved throughout the years. It would basically be its own big nerdy episode. It's pretty awesome and interesting to get into if you've got the time to get into it. Actually, it sounds like an awesome Patreon Bonus. But for now the basic description is all you need… People looking for intelligent life throughout the universe. Because, well, there isn’t a whole lot here on earth. The Ohio State seti program lasted from 1973-1995 and made the 1995 Guinness book of world records for the longest running seti program. It was during this 22 year run that the WOW signal came into being. So with that history out of the way let's get to the signal itself… There's going to be some sciencey stuff so get ready to get your nerd on!     On August 15, 1977 as Big Ear was scanning the heavens, it received a remarkable signal. Astronomer Jerry R. Ehman was sifting through data for several days and came across the signal. On a piece of printed tape with mostly 1s 2s and 3s there was the occasional higher number and then he noticed a line that contained the following sequence, 6EQUJ5. Ehman circled the section in red and wrote a little note in the margin... one word… that word? It was “poop.” No one knows why he wrote “poop” next to the sequence, either. And of course that’s stupid and I made it up. No, you silly fuckers! The word was, of course… “WOW!” The signal seemingly came from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius and contained the expected hallmarks of extraterrestrial origin! Aliens, bitches!!   The sequence string 6EQUJ5, commonly misinterpreted as a message encoded in the radio signal, represents in fact the signal's intensity variation over time, expressed in the particular measuring system adopted for the experiment. Got that? Good.  The signal itself appeared to be an unmodulated continuous wave, although any modulation with a period of less than 10 seconds or longer than 72 seconds would not have been detectable. So basically the letters and numbers  represent how strong or intense the signal was as compared to the constant background noise. If the signal was longer than 72 seconds any modulation in the signal would not have been able to be detected.    Ok so the intensity of the signals were measured at a signal to noise ratio. Basically they would constantly measure the noise coming through to determine a baseline reading to compare any received signals to. The signal was sampled for 10 seconds and then processed by the computer, which took 2 seconds. Therefore, every 12 seconds the result for each frequency channel was output on the printout as a single character, representing the 10-second average intensity, minus the baseline. So essentially every 12 seconds a series of numbers were printed out giving the researchers an idea of how strong any signal that might be received was as compared to the baseline noise.    The numbers and letters were part of an alphanumeric system set up by the researchers to determine signal strength. If there was just a blank space that meant the signal was between 0-1. This means a signal between the baseline and one standard deviation above the baseline. So essentially there's no signal but the baseline noise coming back. This is why when you look at the printout there are mostly spaces and 1s as there was no signal side from baseline noise coming back. The numbers 1 to 9 denote the correspondingly numbered intensities (from 1 to 9); intensities of 10 and above are indicated by a letter: "A" corresponds to intensities between 10 and 11, "B" to 11 to 12, and so on. So we know that was a bit tedious but that information is needed to understand just why the series of numbers and letters was so incredible. The wow signal had the highest intensity measured at the value of U. This means that while most of the returns were between 0-2 deviations above the baseline the WOW signal hit U which means it was around 30-31 deviations above the baseline! So in layman's terms imagine you're watching your tv at a volume level of 1 and all of a sudden it hits a volume of 30 that's kind of what we're dealing with. And if you're wondering, the frequency that the WOW signal was detected at was indeed around the 1420 that we mentioned earlier. The frequency that was suggested as the most likely for use by an intelligent civilization trying to make contact.    The length of the signal does not necessarily mean that the 72 seconds was the total length of the signal though. The Big Ear radio telescope was only adjustable for altitude (or height above the horizon), and relied on the rotation of the Earth to scan across the sky. Given this fact, sure to the speed of the Earth's rotation, any signal could only last a max of 72 seconds until the rotation of the earth took the radio telescope out of the way of the signal. The signal strength would be shown to get gradually louder then gradually softer as the telescope approached and then went away from the source of the signal. This is what we see with the WOW signal.    Though the signal came from the general direction of the Sagittarius constellation, due to the telescope's design it was not possible to pinpoint the location exactly. The Big Ear telescope, which featured two feed horns, each receiving a beam from slightly different directions, while following Earth's rotation. The Wow! signal was detected in one beam but not in the other, and the data was processed in such a way that it is impossible to determine which of the two horns received the signal. The region of the sky in question lies northwest of the globular cluster M55, in the constellation Sagittarius, roughly 2.5 degrees south of the fifth-magnitude star group Chi Sagittarii, and about 3.5 degrees south of the plane of the ecliptic. The closest easily visible star is Tau Sagittarii. If you know what all that means… More power trip you… if not, were with you! No nearby sun-like stars were within the antenna coordinates, although in any direction the antenna pattern would encompass about six distant stars.    So now after all that… What the fuck was the signal? Where exactly did it come from? Was it aliens?   Many different hypotheses have been put forth over the years although none have really gained traction with scientists and astronomers due to the strangeness of the situation.   One hypothesis that was presented early on was that the signal was actually a signal generated from earth and reflected off of some space junk and picked up by the telescope.  Ehman has said: "We should have seen it again when we looked for it 50 times. Something suggests it was an Earth-sourced signal that simply got reflected off a piece of space debris." Ehman backed off of this suggestion after further research showed an Earth-borne signal to be very unlikely, given the requirements of a space-borne reflector being bound to certain unrealistic requirements to sufficiently explain the signal. Also, it is problematic to propose that the 1420 MHz signal originated from Earth since this is within a protected spectrum: a bandwidth reserved for astronomical purposes in which terrestrial transmitters are forbidden to transmit.    The reason Ehman suggested this theory is that they searched for the signal again many times and were never able to find it again. This lead to a few other hypotheses like the signal was a rotating signal similar to a lighthouse beacon or that it was just a one time signal shot in our direction like maybe something knew we were scanning!  In a 2012 podcast, scientific skeptic author Brian Dunning concluded that a radio transmission from deep space in the direction of Sagittarius, as opposed to a near-Earth origin, remains the best technical explanation for the emission, although there is no evidence to conclude that an alien intelligence was the source.   Speaking of looking for it again, there have been many attempts to locate the signal since it was found. As stated Ehman and his crew searched for it many times to no avail.    Robert H. Gray looked for the signal in 1987 and again in 1989. Gray is a data analyst, astronomer, and author. He wrote the book The Elusive Wow: Searching for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Gray heard about the WOW signal a few years after it had been discovered and contacted Ehman. He went and visited Big Ear, and spoke with Ehman, Robert S. Dixon (director of the SETI project) and John D. Kraus (the telescope's designer). In 1980 gray set up a commercial telecommunications dish in his Chicago backyard and started scanning the skies for some trace of the wow signal. He began to run and monitor his small SETI Observatory regularly in 1983 but still could not find a trace of the wow signal. In 1987 and 1989 he led searches for the wow signal using the Harvard/Smithsonian META radio telescope at the Oak Ridge Observatory in Harvard, Massachusetts. In 1995 and 1996 Gray would again search for the signal. This time he would pair up with Kevin B. Marvel and use the Very Large Array radio telescope in New Mexico. Kevin B. Marvel has served as the Executive Officer for the American Astronomical Society, the largest professional organization for researchers in astronomy and related disciplines, since July of 2006.  He began work with the AAS as Associate Executive Officer for Public Policy in 1998 establishing the Society’s public policy program becoming Deputy Executive Officer in 2003.  Before taking up a position with the American Astronomical Society in 1998 he served as a postdoctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology's (CALTECH’s) Owens Valley Radio Observatory. He received his Ph.D. in Astronomy in 1996 from New Mexico State University.  So you know… This guy knows his shit.  The Very Large Array, or VLA for short, is a centimeter-wavelength radio astronomy observatory located in central New Mexico. Astronomers using the VLA have made key observations of black holes and protoplanetary disks around young stars, discovered magnetic filaments and traced complex gas motions at the Milky Way's center, probed the Universe's cosmological parameters, and provided new knowledge about the physical mechanisms that produce radio emission. Gray became the first amateur astronomer to use the VLA, and the first individual to use it to search for extraterrestrial signals. In 1998, he and University of Tasmania professor Simon Ellingsen conducted searches using the 26-meter dish at the Mount Pleasant Radio Observatory in Hobart, Tasmania. Gray and Ellingsen made six 14-hour observations where the Big Ear was pointing when it found the Wow! signal, searching for intermittent and possibly periodic signals, rather than a constant signal. No signals resembling the Wow! were detected. In 2011, Gray published the book The Elusive Wow: Searching for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, summarizing what is known about the Wow! signal, covering his own search for the signal, and offering an overview of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. In 2016, Gray published an article in Scientific American about the Fermi paradox, which claims that if extraterrestrials existed, we would see signs of them on Earth, because they would certainly colonize the galaxy by interstellar travel. Gray argues that the Fermi paradox, named after Nobel Prize-winning physicist Enrico Fermi, does not accurately represent Fermi's views. Gray states that Fermi questioned the feasibility of interstellar travel, but did not say definitively whether or not he thought extraterrestrials exist. This guy is like the king of searching for the wow signal. He, more than anyone else, had kept the dream alive so to speak of finding this signal again.    In 2017 a new theory emerged that got people talking. The headlines all over science publications read that the mystery had been solved. Everyone dove into this theory. Antonio Paris, of St Petersburg College, thought discovered the explanation: a pair of comets. The work was published in the Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences.   These comets, known as  266P/Christensen and 335P/Gibbs, have clouds of hydrogen gas millions of kilometres in diameter surrounding them.   The Wow! Signal was detected at 1420MHz, which is the radio frequency hydrogen naturally emits.   Notably, the team had verified that the comets were within the vicinity at the time, and they report that the radio signals from 266/P Christensen matched those from the Wow! signal. They used three of world's biggest radio telescopes: the Parkes radio telescope in Australia (210 feet or 64 metres in diameter), the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia (140 feet or 40 metres in diameter), and Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico (the world's largest at 1,000 feet or 300 metres in diameter). In his paper, Paris wrote that comets will, under certain conditions, emit radio waves from the gases that surround them as they zoom closer to the sun. According to the study, Comet 266P/Christensen was in about the right position on the right day in 1977.    Several astronomers, including Ehman, think Paris is wrong about the comet. Ehman looked at Paris' study with Robert Dixon, who directs the radio observatory at The Ohio State University (Big Ear was destroyed in 1997). Two big issues are that the signal didn't repeat, and it appeared for such a short time. Ehman noted that the Big Ear telescope had two "feed horns," each of which provides a slightly different field of view for a radio telescope.    "We should have seen the source come through twice in about 3 minutes: one response lasting 72 seconds and a second response for 72 seconds following within about a minute and a half," Ehman told Live Science. "We didn't see the second one."   The only way that can happen, he said, is if the signal was cut off abruptly. A comet wouldn't produce that kind of signal, because the gases that surround them cover large, diffuse areas. Nor would the comet have escaped from the radio telescope's field of view that fast.          The other issue is the frequency of transmission. Paris said he has shown that comets can emit in that range, but Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, is skeptical. Shostak used to study emissions from neutral hydrogen in the 1,420-MHz range, and is less sure the emission would look right. Comets may not generate enough hydrogen to make a bright enough signal like Wow!.     "I don't think anyone ever found such emission from comets," Shostak told Live Science.   In late 2020 another theory came about.  A star! First, some background. Back in 2013, the European Space Agency launched the Gaia space observatory to map the night sky — to determine the position, the distance, and the motion of stars with unprecedented accuracy. So far, Gaia has mapped some 1.3 billion stars, allowing astronomers to begin creating the most detailed 3D map ever made of our galaxy. The mission is expected to continue until 2024. Gaia’s new star map has significantly improved our understanding of the galaxy and the stars within it and this gave amateur astronomer Alberto Caballero an idea. The Gaia database is now significantly more detailed than the star catalog that John Kraus studied in the 1970s. Perhaps the new database might reveal the source of the Wow! signal, he reasoned. So Caballero repeated the search, looking for Sun-like stars among the thousands that have been identified by Gaia in this region of the sky. By Sun-like, he means stars that share the same temperature, radius and luminosity .   The search returned just one candidate. “The only potential Sun-like star in all the WOW! Signal region appears to be 2MASS 19281982-2640123,” says Caballero. This star sits in the constellation of Sagittarius at a distance of 1800 light-years. It is an identical twin to our Sun, with the same temperature, radius, and luminosity.   Of course, Caballero’s work does not mean that 2MASS 19281982-2640123 must have been the source. He points out that there are many stars in that region of the sky that are too dim to be included in the catalog. One of these could be the source. And there are some 66 other stars in the catalog that Caballero identified as potential candidates but with less strong evidence. These match the Sun’s temperature but data about their luminosity and radius is currently incomplete. So future data releases from Gaia and other mapping projects might yet reveal them as matches. For the moment, 2MASS 19281982-2640123 is our best bet and a good candidate for future study. Caballero says an obvious goal would be to look for signs of exoplanets orbiting this star. It could also be prioritized for study in the radio part of the spectrum.    So what else could it be? Could it still be an alien signal coming from a distant planet?  Ehman isn't convinced it's aliens, either. There are many phenomena that show sudden appearances and disappearances of radio signals, including fast radio bursts (FRBs), which are mysterious radio bursts with hotly-debated astrophysical origins that generate irregular signals that last only milliseconds. Fast radio bursts are intense bursts of radio emission that have durations of milliseconds and exhibit the characteristic dispersion sweep of radio pulsars. The first was discovered in 2007 by Lorimer, although it was actually observed some six years earlier, in archival data from a pulsar survey of the Magellanic clouds. It was dubbed the “Lorimer Burst”. Many FRBs have since been recorded, including several that have been detected to repeat in seemingly irregular ways. Most FRBs are extragalactic, but the first Milky Way FRB was detected by the CHIME radio telescope in April 2020. When the FRBs are polarized, it indicates that they are emitted from a source contained within an extremely powerful magnetic field. The exact origin and cause of the FRBs is still the subject of investigation; proposals for their origin range from a rapidly rotating neutron star and a black hole, to extraterrestrial intelligence. If the Big Ear picked up only the tail end of such an emission, the data could look similar to the Wow! signal, Ehman speculated.   "The issue with the feed horns is something no one can explain, including me," Paris said. "There is some data out there to suggest the issue is at the telescope end and not the phenomenon itself." So it's possible that the signal could have been caused by a glitch in the Big Ear telescope.   Was that E.T. or was it not E.T.? Nobody knows,” Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, tells Astronomy. “Nobody has ever found another explanation for what that might have been. It's like you hear chains rattling in your attic and you think ‘My god ghosts are real.’ But then you never hear them again, so what do you think?” Most importantly, Shostak says that if the signal wouldn’t have had Wow! written across it, no one would’ve ever heard of it. One-off signals like this were common back in the early days of SETI, when observatory computers were too primitive to notify astronomers of discoveries in real time, or perform rapid-fire follow-ups.    Despite uncertainties on signals picked up from across space, scientists continue to look for signs of alien life. For instance, NASA's TESS mission hopes to find exoplanets. The effort has already led to the discovery of “hot Saturn” planet TOI 197.01. Lead author Lisa Kaltenegger, a professor of astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences and director of Cornell’s Carl Sagan Institute, said that life might exist in different types of worlds, but what we know is that there is a world like ours who can support life. Thus, it makes sense to search for Earth-like planets.   So all this being said we found a race of aliens originating from the constellation of Sagittarius. These guys could have been the ones that sent the signal. You wanna know about them… Well we gonna tell you about them either way.    Bellatricians are one of many races stated by people to be an actual, existing species of extraterrestrial life. As such, they appear in alien conspiracy theories, most notably those expressed by Sheldan Nidle and his life partner, Colleen Marshall.    Bellatricians are stated as being a bipedal dinosaurian/reptilian hybrid with scaly, multicolored skin that seems to possess a sort of luminosity. These scales are similar in design to those of a crocodile and can be green, yellow, brown, or even red in coloration. With this in mind, green and yellow are the dominant scale colors. Overall, they are very scaly and bony. A large bony crest surrounds their upper head, while a small bony crest runs up the middle of the back and connects to the larger crest found on top of the head.   Their eyes are large and protruding, and can be either red or dull yellow in hue, resembling those of Earth's reptiles. They are set forward on the face just above and to either side of their very small nose. These eyes have been stated (by Colleen Marshall) as "conveying more warmth than I had ever thought possible".   Their mouth has thin lips that run from one side of the head to the other, presumably filled with razor-sharp teeth. Ears are tympanic in nature, like a frog's; the only sign of their existence is a circular patch of extra-smooth, 3 inch (7.62 centimeter) diameter area on either side of the head just behind the eyes.   Thin hands are attached to their arms, and are armed with six long, clawed fingers. The feet have five toes which end in small yet very sharp claws. While they do possess a tail, it is short, only extending to the feet, although it is thick like that of a crocodilian. They exhibit sexual dimorphism, with males being slightly shorter than females.   This reptilian creatures are notable for their great skills in leadership and diplomacy. They speak in a very coarse and guttural tone, their speech filled with deep growling and hissing noises. They require between 5 to 8 hours of sleep daily.   The Bellatricians migrated from the constellation of Sagittarius around 25 million years ago into the area surrounding the constellation of Orion. They are now found some 112.5 light years from Earth. For the past 6 million years, they were in charge of all the former Alliance forces for our sector of the Milky Way Galaxy. However they were finally accepted into the Galactic Federation far more recently, approximately 3 years ago.   Former members of the League of Orion, it is stated that the Bellatricians presented themselves as tyrannical overlords in the Milky Way galaxy for eons. During this time, they were the oppressive ruling class for the Draconian Empire. However, now they are attempting a transformation, and aspire to be accepted as trustworthy members of the galaxy. They are now a very curious and benevolent group that wish to connect with Earth and exchange perspectives on our shared history. They are also open to connecting with those who wish to have an experience during dreamtime. It is proposed that the more open and accepting that humanity can be, the more likely we are to attract an "otherworldly" experience.   The Bellatricians have expressed their sincere desire to make amends for the atrocities they have performed throughout the ages. They are trying their hardest to let go of their natural self-serving attitude and are learning to embrace the joy received when in service to others. They wish to have a gentle introduction to those who can open their hearts, and forgive them for what they represented in the past, and instead accept who they are today. They are very solemn and serious beings, and thereby do not grasp the concept of humor, especially that which is derived from the misfortune of others.    So what about their technology?   Here's what we know: Scout Craft: Look like dew drops and beetle, and can vary in length from 100-400 ft (30.5-122 meters). Mothership: Look like large tadpoles, and very enormously in length, from 1-400 miles (1.6-640 kilometers) across.   Could they be the source of the signal? Jon believes they are!   There we go passengers! A little bit more light-hearted and nerdy episode for you guys. With all of the alien talk around these days we figured this would be a fun episode to speculate upon! What do you guys think?

KAREN'S BIO I was born in South Korea and was adopted at seven months. I lived in Kent, Ohio until I went to New York City for fashion design at Parsons School of Design. I then started working in the fashion industry, started in bridal… met the brides… then moved to sweaters, then worked for Andy and Tommy Hilfiger's Rock and Roll-inspired clothing line, Andrew Charles where I met Grant.  A few years after meeting, Grant and I started BIG EAR n.y.c. in the Lower East Side. We realized we didn't have enough space in a studio apartment so we moved to Greenpoint, Brooklyn into a two-bedroom apartment. That's where BIG EAR n.y.c. really started expanding. I was still working fulltime in outerwear for Tumi, coming home and working with Grant on BIG EAR at night. It was mildly exhausting! Eventually, we ran out of room and decided to move to Nashville, TN, where we could have more space and both focus on the business. We also dropped the n.y.c. from our name and changed it to BIG EAR pedals at this time.  When we moved to Nashville, we discovered this small oasis of guitar pedal makers! Until recently, Matt from 1981 Inventions lived here, Zach from Mythos Pedals, Bryan Laurenson from Quiet Theory, AWOL Pedals, Jesse from RudeTech, Trey from Retroactive Pedals… even Paul Cochrane lives about 20 minutes away. And I'm probably forgetting someone… There are a lot of us here! Haha It's awesome because we can share and exchange parts and it's just fun to hang with people who do the same thing as you do. At any rate, we had moved to Nashville for more space, but I still feel like we have pedals all over the place. We work from our home and basically have guitar pedals on every surface. It's the same!  We recently released our newest pedal, ALBIE, an ambient modulator, which we named after our cat, Cat Albert, who recently passed. I think it's the most meaningful product I have ever worked on... but we're on major backorder right now, so lots of ALBIEs are gradually taking over our house! The way I see it, every day is a new opportunity, and I'm excited to see where it goes.

现代天文学确证：人类的出现是宇宙演变的结果;由于自然法则在宇宙中具有普遍性，导致人类诞生的因素也会出现在苍茫宇宙的某处。因此，许多科学家坚信：宇宙中存在其他智慧生命，甚至有高级智慧生命——外星人(ET)。从20世纪60年代开始，科学家就一直致力于对潜在外星人的搜寻，他们试图通过截获有规则的无线电信号或激光信号来探知外星文明的存在。这项工作具有极其重大的科学意义。　　英国天文学家乔斯林·贝尔在1967年首次发现来自太阳系之外的神秘脉冲信号，所以她对这一发现非常惊讶，认为这可能是外星人所发的信号;但后来这个现象就被证明是高速旋转的脉冲星，这种天体可以发出非常规律的周期性信号。　　1977年8月16日，美国天文学家杰里·埃赫曼通过俄亥俄州立大学Big Ear射电望远镜发现来自人马座方向、长达72秒的无线电信号;达到峰值时，该信号比深空的环境辐射要强30倍，信号频段非常集中，且极为接近1420兆赫兹的频率，因为它被认为是最有可能来自外星人的信号。这促使埃赫曼在计算机打印出的数据旁潦草地写下了“Wow!”(“哇!”)。没人知道这个看似不自然的信号到底是不是外星人所发的，尽管花费了巨大努力，科学家再也没有发现来自太空中同一地点的重复信号。快38年过去了，但“Wow!”信号依旧是个谜。　　在17年前，澳大利亚Parkes天文台的科学家发现一些怪异的无线电信号，在此后的17年间，科学家试图用各种研究和理论解释这些信号，因为地球上其他任何设备都从未接收到类似信号。这个时隐时现的怪异信号被称为“佩利顿”，为了解释其存在，科学家提出了多种不同的理论，有人认为这是蒸发的黑洞发出的信号，也有人认为是中子星合并时发出的电磁脉冲，更有人坚信这是外星人所发的信号。科学家最近声称已找到怪异信号的真正源头，答案竟然是天文台员工厨房的微波炉。　　“佩利顿”与快速无线电爆发非常相似，后者来自太空的高能量信号，持续时间只有短短数毫秒。2007年1月，Parkes射电望远镜第一次探测到快速无线电爆发，之后又发现6次银河系外的快速无线电爆发;2012年4月，波多黎各Arecibo射电望远镜探测到第7次。科学家表示，这次的信号真实存在，并非仪器故障或厨房电器所致。　　自2007年以来，科学家收到来自太阳系之外多个信号，而信号产生时所释放出的能量，相当于太阳4个月释放的总量。各种解释也纷至沓来，有的人认为这是中子星碰撞的信号，也有人称这是外星人的信号。现在，一项最新的研究认为目前近探测到10个神秘脉冲信号，巧合的是这些信号的离散量都是187.5，意味着它们具有线性关系，于是科学家计算出这种巧合的概率为万分之五，并称这种物理现象为“烙里默爆发”。这些信号成了科学家一直解不开的难题。　　科学家在澳大利亚西部装设了36个无线电望远镜，用于接收外层空间传来的信息。他们最近从天坛座方向，接收到50亿年前一处银河系发出的无线电信号。信号里有氢气的印记。氢气是组成星球的重要物质，多数银河系里都充满了氢气。遥远星座传来的光线会变得微弱，也可能会遭到粉遮蔽，不过，氢气可以穿透重重阻碍到达地球。科学家说，能侦测到这组太阳系出现前的银河信号就表示，这套无线电望远镜也可以收到其他遥远银河系的信号。消息一传出，人们沸腾了。此信号是外星人所发的吗？网友期待科学家给出让我们更多惊喜的发现。　　更值得期待的是，中国的FAST射电望远镜即将建成;它是世界最大单口径射电望远镜，口径达500米，有近30个足球场大的接收面积，借助天然圆形溶岩坑建造。与波多黎各305米口径的Arecibo射电望远镜相比，这一巨型射电望远镜的综合性能提高约10倍，可以捕捉远在百亿光年外的无线电信号。此外，由澳大利亚、加拿大、意大利、南非、英国、中国等20个国家参与的全球最大的天文学国际合作项目SKA(平方公里阵列射电望远镜)预计2018年开始建设，2020年初步完成。它建成后，与现有地面最大的EVLA射电望远镜阵列相比，其灵敏度提高约50倍，搜寻速度提高约1万倍。上述两大科研项目将有助于科学家捕捉外星人发出的无线电信号。　　虽然科学家尚未收到外星人所发的信号，但他们已事先做好破译信号的准备。如何破译信号？许多科学家认为，可以将信号通过编码程序转换成数学语言，而这一语言可作为地球人与外星人沟通交流的共同语言——宇宙语言。正如中国数学家、语言学家周海中所言，数学语言具有准确性、简洁性、严密性、抽象性、逻辑性、直观性、普适性等特点，是星际交际的理想工具，也是双方首选的宇宙语言。　　值得一提的是，英国计算机专家约翰·艾利欧特声称：用他本人研发的计算机程序就能够理解并翻译外星人发出语言信息所要表达的意思。另外，美国南加州大学的科学家提出一种名为“解码外语”的机器翻译方法，并声称用这种方法可以对外星人发出的语言信息进行破译。

Fil de Science, c'est la nouvelle formule de notre podcast d'actualité, lancé en 2006 ! Chaque vendredi dès 18h30, découvrez le résumé des actualités scientifiques de la semaine, décryptées pour vous par les journalistes de Futura. Pour cette semaine du 23 novembre, nous parlerons du signal Wow, de l'apparition d'un inquiétant virus en Bolivie, d'un monolithe insolite dans l'Utah, des bienfaits du chocolat pour le cerveau et, enfin, nous plongerons au large du Mexique à la découverte des populations sous-marines qui y résident. Bonne écoute, et bon week-end !Retrouvez les articles complets sur FuturaUne civilisation extraterrestre derrière l'énigmatique signal « Wow ! » ? L'hypothèse est relancéeUn étrange virus inquiète les scientifiques en BolivieQuel est cet étrange monolithe découvert dans l'Utah ?Le cacao rendrait plus « intelligent » et on sait pourquoiLa plus large concentration de poissons des abysses jamais observéeTranscription du podcast : Bonjour à tous, bienvenue dans Fil de Science, le podcast Futura où nous retraçons l'actualité de la semaine.43 ans après sa découverte, le signal Wow connaît de nouveaux rebondissements. Capté par le radiotélescope Big Ear, dans l'Ohio, en 1977, ce signal venu de l'espace se démarque par sa signature atypique, suggérant que celui-ci aurait été émis par une intelligence extraterrestre. Aujourd'hui, un astronome amateur avance l'hypothèse que sa source se situerait à 1.800 années-lumière de la Terre, aux abords d'une étoile similaire à notre Soleil. En exploitant la base de données publique du satellite Gaïa, il a pu passer au crible les astres recensés dans la région d'émission du signal. Il a alors identifié l'étoile 2MASS 19281982-2640123, dont les caractéristiques suggèrent qu'elle pourrait abriter dans son système une exoplanète potentiellement habitable. Bien entendu, ce résultat relève plus de l'ordre de la spéculation que de la certitude. Le catalogue que Gaïa a établi de la région demeure incomplet, et nous ignorons encore à ce jour quels critères permettent l'apparition de la vie. Nous saluons néanmoins son travail qui, à défaut d'obtenir une réponse, nous permet d'avancer progressivement vers une résolution de l'énigme qu'est le signal Wow.Un étrange virus inquiète les scientifiques en Bolivie. Lors d'un congrès de médecine tropicale, les scientifiques du CDC ont partagé leurs résultats sur la transmission interhumaine d'un virus énigmatique, baptisé Chapare. Celui-ci a déjà tué trois personnes dans un hôpital bolivien et causerait l'apparition de symptômes proches de ceux causés par la maladie à virus Ebola. Seules cinq personnes infectées ont été dénombrées à ce jour, mais la résilience et la virulence de ce virus dont le profil est encore mal défini amène les chercheurs à se tenir sur leurs gardes.Surprise dans l'Utah. Lors d'une mission de recensement des mouflons canadiens en hélicoptère, une équipe de la division des ressources sauvages a remarqué un étrange éclat niché au cœur d'un canyon. En se rendant sur place, les employés ont découvert un prisme triangulaire de métal, s'élevant à la verticale à un peu plus de trois mètres de hauteur. Il y a fort à parier que ce dernier est une installation artistique clandestine ou encore un hommage à 2001, l'Odyssée de l'espace, néanmoins, personne n'en a pour l'instant revendiqué la paternité.Adeptes du chocolat, nous avons une bonne nouvelle pour vous ! Une récente étude semble en effet suggérer que la consommation de cacao améliorerait les capacités cognitives. La fève de cacao est riche en polyphénols : des molécules organiques connues pour leur pouvoir antioxydant. Les tests ont permis de révéler que ceux-ci favorisent la rapidité d'oxygénation du cerveau, mais également ses performances dans des exercices demandant une concentration accrue, comme le test Stroop. Ces effets apparaîtraient environ deux heures après la consommation de chocolat, de quoi se détendre un peu avant de passer à l'effort.Et enfin, sous les eaux au large du Mexique, un spectacle étonnant attendait les chercheurs. En explorant la zone de Clarion-Clipperton, au sommet d'une montage sous-marine, ceux-ci ont découvert un essaim de plus d'une centaine d'anguilles, attirées par l'appât qui avait été déposé là. Cette découverte atteste de l'impressionnante biodiversité qu'hébergent ces monts sous-marins et permet aux scientifiques d'en apprendre un peu plus sur l'espèce elle-même.

Brian and Blake join forces for another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.Blake recently got his hands on a Big Ear Albie pedal. It is an 8 mode “ambient modulator” that is very straight forward simple with very limited user control. Blake likes it and the guys talk about the pedal.Brian went on a little road trip and his mind wandered to thinking about the differences between analog and digital circuits. It makes for an interesting conversation.This year has been challenging to say the very least, especially on those artist that have depended on live performances for income. There are options out there and Brian and Blake look at those are.it’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone Podcast.DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/booksFind us at: https://www.wamplerpedals.comhttps://www.facebook.com/wamplerpedalshttps://twitter.com/WamplerPedalshttps://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedalshttps://www.facebook.com/ChasingTonePodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpageYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.com

105# Alien contact | The WOW signal and other transmissions This week We're looking to the stars and messages from space and a few we've sent out too. The Wow! Signal and other transmissions from space BEEP BEEP! Was a strong narrowband radio signal received on August 15, 1977, by Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope in the United States, then used to support the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence? The signal appeared to come from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius and bore the expected hallmarks of extra-terrestrial origin.

Link: https://discord.gg/ZzJSrGP Top 4 most promising worlds for alien life in the solar system Link: https://earthsky.org/space/et-alien-life-most-likely-worlds-solar-system Mars Mars is one of the most Earth-like worlds in the solar system. It has a 24.5-hour day, polar ice caps that expand and contract with the seasons, and a large array of surface features that were sculpted by water during the planet's history. The detection of a lake beneath the southern polar ice cap and methane in the Martian atmosphere (which varies with the seasons and even the time of day) make Mars a very interesting candidate for life. Methane is significant as it can be produced by biological processes. But the actual source for the methane on Mars is not yet known. Europa Europa was discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610, along with Jupiter's three other larger moons. It is slightly smaller than Earth's moon and orbits the gas giant at a distance of some 670,000 km (420,000 miles) once every 3.5 days. Europa is constantly squeezed and stretched by the competing gravitational fields of Jupiter and the other Galilean moons, a process known as tidal flexing. The moon is believed to be a geologically active world, like the Earth, because the strong tidal flexing heats its rocky, metallic interior and keeps it partially molten. The surface of Europa is a vast expanse of water ice. Many scientists think that beneath the frozen surface is a layer of liquid water – a global ocean – which is prevented from freezing by the heat from flexing and which maybe over 60 miles (100 km) deep. Enceladus Like Europa, Enceladus is an ice-covered moon with a subsurface ocean of liquid water. Enceladus orbits Saturn and first came to the attention of scientists as a potentially habitable world following the surprise discovery of enormous geysers near the moon's south pole. These jets of water escape from large cracks on the surface and, given Enceladus' weak gravitational field, spray out into space. They are clear evidence of an underground store of liquid water. Titan Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the only moon in the solar system with a substantial atmosphere. It contains a thick orange haze of complex organic molecules and a methane weather system in place of water, complete with seasonal rains, dry periods and surface sand dunes created by wind. The atmosphere consists mostly of nitrogen, an important chemical element used in the construction of proteins in all known forms of life. Radar observations have detected the presence of rivers and lakes of liquid methane and ethane and possibly the presence of cryovolcanoes, volcano-like features that erupt liquid water rather than lava. This suggests that Titan, like Europa and Enceladus, has a subsurface reserve of liquid water. At such an enormous distance from the sun, the surface temperatures on Titan are a frigid -292 degrees F (-180 degrees C), way too cold for liquid water. However, the bountiful chemicals available on Titan have raised speculation that lifeforms – potentially with fundamentally different chemistry from terrestrial organisms – could exist there. Fringe Conspiracy Theorists Think Trump Is an Immortal Alien, Got COVID as Cover to Shapeshift Link: https://www.vice.com/en/article/akzxae/fringe-conspiracy-theorists-think-trump-is-an-immortal-alien-got-covid-as-cover-to-shapeshift “Earthlings, prepare to be attacked…” tweeted Richard Van Steenberg in response to the recent news that Donald Trump contracted COVID-19. Steenberg, like many others who believe nefarious aliens are visiting our planet, is concerned that Trump's recent illness is a sign of the coming alien apocalypse. Conspiracy theorists on the extreme fringe also suspect that Trump—who they believe might be an immortal alien—might have contracted coronavirus in an attempt to shed his mortal flesh and shapeshift into something else. Steenberg started an online petition three years ago called “Disclose: Humanoid Extra Terrestrials Live Among Us.” His website highlights the bulk of his theories and with nearly 30,000 Twitter followers and over 10,000 signatures on his petition, Steenberg is confident he knows the truth. He is a purveyor of bizarre conspiracies that are largely divorced from anything happening in the observable universe. While he has a following among conspiracy theorists, his beliefs are fringe even for that space. He believes that these extraterrestrials are engaged in a plan to subvert humanity and take control via psychological manipulation. Trump, according to Steenberg, is most likely in on the plan. “The plan has been in action since they put us on the planet as cavemen,” he said. “I would say Trump is either a HET [human alien hybrid] or CEA [a human complicit in the alien plot] in that he has known what is going on certainly for the better part of his public life on EArth and would have known early on he would be President,” Steenberg explained. “If he's an HET [human alien hybrid], it's very probable he existed before EArth and took part in the design of the ETA [the plot to invade].” UFO sighting: Claims 'silver orb' spotted over New Hampshire - ‘100% alien' Link: https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/1344032/ufo-sighting-silver-orb-video-canterbury-new-hampshire-alien Some alien life conspiracy theorists suggest a UFO has been captured in footage purportedly filmed on October 1 in Canterbury, New Hampshire. The amateur video apparently shows a shows an odd anomaly sandwiched between two clouds. The object in question is similarly cloud-coloured and vaguely spherical in shape. This has led UFO hunters such as Scott Waring to speculate about its provenance. Mr Waring wrote on his UFO Sightings blog: “The eyewitness was driving through Canterbury when he noticed a silver orb near the clouds. “He tried his best to record it, but keeping an eye on the road was clearly more important. “Lucky for us, he also kept an eye and camera on the UFO. “The object is round and does seem to be deliberately flying near the clouds. “It may have been hiding within one of them and decided to move to a new cloud. “At the end of the video is a close up in slow motion. This is 100 percent alien in origin.” Mr Waring also provides a short statement from whom he claims is the original eyewitness. They are quoted as saying: “Silver sphere in clouds moves slowly while shape shifting until it blasts away from me. “Sun reflecting off it while it appears to be struggling to launch off. “You can see it clearly in the video even though it is small. The Wow! Signal: An alien missed connection? Did humanity's first contact with aliens already happen back in 1977? Probably not, but we may never know for sure. Link: https://astronomy.com/news/2020/09/the-wow-signal-an-alien-missed-connection On August 15, 1977, the Big Ear Radio Telescope in Delaware, Ohio, received the most powerful signal it would ever detect during its decades of observations. The signal lasted just 72 seconds, but when an astronomer spotted it on a computer printout days later, he was so impressed that he quickly scrawled “Wow!” in red pen across the page. The data looked much like what SETI astronomers expected to see from an alien intelligence. However, despite many attempts to follow up on the find, the so-called “Wow! Signal” has never reappeared. “Was that E.T. or was it not E.T.? Nobody knows,” Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, tells Astronomy. “Nobody has ever found another explanation for what that might have been. It's like you hear chains rattling in your attic and you think ‘My god ghosts are real.' But then you never hear them again, so what do you think?” Most importantly, Shostak says that if the signal wouldn't have had Wow! written across it, no one would've ever heard of it. One-off signals like this were common back in the early days of SETI, when observatory computers were too primitive to notify astronomers of discoveries in real time, or perform rapid-fire follow-ups. To Jerry Ehman, reviewing large printouts of data every few days was a routine part of being a volunteer. And on August 17, 1977, as he looked through the latest stack of papers, he spotted a set of numbers and letters: 6EQUJ5. To the untrained eye, it looks like nonsense. But to Ehman, the data meant that Big Ear had picked up a very strong signal that started out low, increased in strength, and then dropped off again. That meant the signal was likely picked up as one particular region of sky passed over the detector. It wasn't earthly. The signal also only appeared in one of 50 possible channels. “It was a narrowband signal, just what we were looking for [with SETI],” Ehman said. “It didn't take long for me to recognize that this was extremely interesting. And the word ‘Wow!' came to my mind very quickly, so I wrote it down.” Wow! Signal follow-ups Over the years, many other astronomers have followed-up on the Wow! Signal, either trying to explain it away or relocate it. But to astronomers like Shostak, the signal is really just one of many similar detections made over the years. “In those days, it was very common to pick up these kinds of signals just one time,” Shostak says. “Computers didn't have the power to do real time follow-ups. If you picked it up today, the comp would say ‘Wow!,' and astronomers would start nodding the telescope in the direction of the Wow! Signal to try to figure out what it was.” Once observatory computers became sophisticated enough for real-time follow-ups, the number of mystery signals dropped. “The aliens knew we had better equipment,” Shostak jokingly says.

Link: https://discord.gg/ZzJSrGP Top 4 most promising worlds for alien life in the solar system Link: https://earthsky.org/space/et-alien-life-most-likely-worlds-solar-system Mars Mars is one of the most Earth-like worlds in the solar system. It has a 24.5-hour day, polar ice caps that expand and contract with the seasons, and a large array of surface features that were sculpted by water during the planet's history. The detection of a lake beneath the southern polar ice cap and methane in the Martian atmosphere (which varies with the seasons and even the time of day) make Mars a very interesting candidate for life. Methane is significant as it can be produced by biological processes. But the actual source for the methane on Mars is not yet known. Europa Europa was discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610, along with Jupiter's three other larger moons. It is slightly smaller than Earth's moon and orbits the gas giant at a distance of some 670,000 km (420,000 miles) once every 3.5 days. Europa is constantly squeezed and stretched by the competing gravitational fields of Jupiter and the other Galilean moons, a process known as tidal flexing. The moon is believed to be a geologically active world, like the Earth, because the strong tidal flexing heats its rocky, metallic interior and keeps it partially molten. The surface of Europa is a vast expanse of water ice. Many scientists think that beneath the frozen surface is a layer of liquid water – a global ocean – which is prevented from freezing by the heat from flexing and which maybe over 60 miles (100 km) deep. Enceladus Like Europa, Enceladus is an ice-covered moon with a subsurface ocean of liquid water. Enceladus orbits Saturn and first came to the attention of scientists as a potentially habitable world following the surprise discovery of enormous geysers near the moon's south pole. These jets of water escape from large cracks on the surface and, given Enceladus' weak gravitational field, spray out into space. They are clear evidence of an underground store of liquid water. Titan Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the only moon in the solar system with a substantial atmosphere. It contains a thick orange haze of complex organic molecules and a methane weather system in place of water, complete with seasonal rains, dry periods and surface sand dunes created by wind. The atmosphere consists mostly of nitrogen, an important chemical element used in the construction of proteins in all known forms of life. Radar observations have detected the presence of rivers and lakes of liquid methane and ethane and possibly the presence of cryovolcanoes, volcano-like features that erupt liquid water rather than lava. This suggests that Titan, like Europa and Enceladus, has a subsurface reserve of liquid water. At such an enormous distance from the sun, the surface temperatures on Titan are a frigid -292 degrees F (-180 degrees C), way too cold for liquid water. However, the bountiful chemicals available on Titan have raised speculation that lifeforms – potentially with fundamentally different chemistry from terrestrial organisms – could exist there. Fringe Conspiracy Theorists Think Trump Is an Immortal Alien, Got COVID as Cover to Shapeshift Link: https://www.vice.com/en/article/akzxae/fringe-conspiracy-theorists-think-trump-is-an-immortal-alien-got-covid-as-cover-to-shapeshift “Earthlings, prepare to be attacked…” tweeted Richard Van Steenberg in response to the recent news that Donald Trump contracted COVID-19. Steenberg, like many others who believe nefarious aliens are visiting our planet, is concerned that Trump's recent illness is a sign of the coming alien apocalypse. Conspiracy theorists on the extreme fringe also suspect that Trump—who they believe might be an immortal alien—might have contracted coronavirus in an attempt to shed his mortal flesh and shapeshift into something else. Steenberg started an online petition three years ago called “Disclose: Humanoid Extra Terrestrials Live Among Us.” His website highlights the bulk of his theories and with nearly 30,000 Twitter followers and over 10,000 signatures on his petition, Steenberg is confident he knows the truth. He is a purveyor of bizarre conspiracies that are largely divorced from anything happening in the observable universe. While he has a following among conspiracy theorists, his beliefs are fringe even for that space. He believes that these extraterrestrials are engaged in a plan to subvert humanity and take control via psychological manipulation. Trump, according to Steenberg, is most likely in on the plan. “The plan has been in action since they put us on the planet as cavemen,” he said. “I would say Trump is either a HET [human alien hybrid] or CEA [a human complicit in the alien plot] in that he has known what is going on certainly for the better part of his public life on EArth and would have known early on he would be President,” Steenberg explained. “If he's an HET [human alien hybrid], it's very probable he existed before EArth and took part in the design of the ETA [the plot to invade].” UFO sighting: Claims 'silver orb' spotted over New Hampshire - ‘100% alien' Link: https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/1344032/ufo-sighting-silver-orb-video-canterbury-new-hampshire-alien Some alien life conspiracy theorists suggest a UFO has been captured in footage purportedly filmed on October 1 in Canterbury, New Hampshire.

*Recurring Martian Streaks could be just sand rather than water A new study claims dark streaks often seen on the Sun facing slopes of Martian gullies and ravines could be caused by moving sand rather than melting sub-surface permafrost. The conclusions provide an alternative to previous speculation that the features – known as recurring slope lineae or RSLs – were caused by flowing meltwater from permafrost layers seeping out from the sides of gullies and ravines. *Could cosmic dust be transporting life between worlds? A new study suggests that life on Earth might have originated from biological particles brought to the planet in streams of cosmic dust particles. The findings would mean fast-moving flows of interplanetary dust that continually bombard Earth’s atmosphere could deliver tiny organisms from far-off worlds, or send Earth-based organisms to other planets, according to the research. *Listening for alien signals. Way back on August the 15th 1977 astronomers at Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio telescope supporting the SETI Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence picked up a strange and very strong narrow band radio signal coming from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. Now a new campaign is underway to listen for alien signals – not from Sagittarius but from M-31 Andromeda. *NASA Launches NOAA Weather Satellite to Improve Forecasts The penultimate launch of a Delta II rocket has successfully placed the first of a new generation of advanced weather satellites into a Sun synchronous orbit. The Joint Polar Satellite System-1 or JPSS-1 blasted into deep black early morning skies from the Vandenberg Air Force base in California. *Maxus-9 provides a little microgravity The European Space Agency has launched a Maxus sounding rocket to see how microgravity effects microorganisms.

Buenos días a todos, antes de comenzar quiero hacer un llamamiento a los grupos que nos estéis escuchando: si queréis presentar vuestras canciones en el podcast de ERA Magazine, solo tenéis que mandarnos un email a través del formulario que encontraréis en eramagazine.fm/contacto. Lo recibiremos con mucho gusto. Surgieron en 1991 y durante 10 años, Automatics fueron los abanderados de la música independiente de nuestro país. Sus guitarras, su distorsión, su shoegaze retumbaban en todos los escenarios. En 2015, de la mano de una nueva discográfica, Clifford Records, regresaron con Big Ear, después de 14 años en la sombra. Ahora, con nuevo cantante, construyen Ruido negro (compra el disco aquí), unas canciones que les une de nuevo con la escena indie más actual, pero con menos distorsión y ruido, ¿o no? Ellos nos lo explican. # Manuel, Raúl, bienvenidos al podcast de ERA Magazine y gracias por estar con nosotros. Es posible que muchos de nuestros oyentes todavía fueran muy jóvenes cuando comenzasteis con Automatics. Así que Manuel, creo que te toca a ti presentar al grupo y la música que hacéis. # Vamos a comprobar lo que nos contáis con la primera canción, “Ninette”. Habladme de ella. # Otras de las grandes novedades es la incorporación del castellano en la mitad de las canciones del disco. ¿A qué es debido? ¿Cómo creéis que afecta a vuestra música y estilo? # La banda se ha reducido en número, ¿cómo ha afectado esto a las canciones, incluso a diferencia ya no de la década de los noventa, sino de Big Ear? # Escuchamos la segunda canción, “Sebastian”, contadme por qué la habéis elegido. # Pero en algunas canciones, aunque predominen las guitarras, como siempre, han dejado a un lado la distorsión, son más limpias. Incluso me parece que Big Ear vuestro disco anterior, está más cerca de los noventa que este nuevo Ruido negro. ¿Buscabais ese distanciamiento, sobre todo al tener nuevo cantante? # Le toca el turno ahora a “Ruido negro”, la canción que da título al disco. ¿Qué me contáis de ella? # Tantos años después, ¿cómo os habéis encontrado el patio en el indie? Sigue siendo el patio de atrás, pero ¿más o menos que en los noventa? ¿O simplemente diferente? # Nos despedimos ya con la última canción, “The Sound of This Town”. ¿Qué nos explicáis de ella? # Muchas gracias, Manuel, Raúl, por estar en el podcast de ERA Magazine y mucha suerte. Con esta canción nos despedimos por hoy. Recordad que si escucháis este podcast a través de iTunes, iVoox o Spreaker, una valoración de 5 estrellas o un me gusta ayudará a dar a conocer este podcast. Recuerda, a la gente le encanta la música indie, pero todavía no lo sabe. Adiós.

Antonio Paris is a Professor of Astronomy at St. Petersburg College and the Chief Scientist at the Center for Planetary Science – a science outreach program promoting astronomy, planetary science, and astrophysics to the next generation of space explorers. He has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from The City University of New York and a Master’s of Science in Planetary Science from the American Public University. Antonio is the author of two books, Aerial Phenomena (ISBN 1467549274) and Space Science (ISBN 1495101037): Additionally, he is the director and producer for the documentaries Area 51: A History of this Reclusive Base (2012) and Skinwalker (2014). Professor Paris has recently received a lot of attention for a project he is undertaking to reproduce the so-called Wow! signal. This is a mysterious signal that was received by the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) at the Big Ear radio telescope of The Ohio State University in 1977. There has been speculation that the signal could be extraterrestrial in nature. However, it has also been speculated that the signal could have come from comets. Paris and his team plan to test this theory. Websites where you can find more information about Antonio and his work: Aerial Phenomena The Center for Planetary Science GoFundMe: The Wow!

This podcast is named after an event that took place on 15 August 1977 at the Ohio State Big Ear radio astronomy observatory. Astronomr Jerry Ehman noticed a signal that looked exactly like what they were looking for - an ET radio beacon. Was it? We talk to Dr. Robert S. "Bob" Dixon, who was instrumental in bringing the Big Ear instrument to bear on the SETI problem, in his very first podcast interview.

A signal received by a radio telescope in 1977 may be the best evidence yet for extraterrestrial intelligence.
