Arecibo Observatory Data Helps SETI Uncover Secrets of Pulsar Signals and Cosmic Distortions
Data from the now-collapsed Arecibo Observatory continues to drive major discoveries in space science. Sofia Sheikh and her team from the SETI Institute utilised archived data to investigate the signals of pulsars—dense neutron stars emitting radiation like cosmic lighthouses. Their study focused on how these signals are distorted by interstellar...

New Research Investigates Whether TRAPPIST-1 Planets Are Sending Radio Signals
A team of astronomers from Penn State and the SETI Institute has conducted a significant study on the TRAPPIST-1 star system, aiming to detect possible radio signals between its planets. Over 28 hours, they explored for indications of communication similar to those we use on Earth. Although no signals were found, the research highlighted promising ...

No Radio Signals From That 'Alien Megastructure' Yet - But Scientists are Listening
SETI institute scientists have turned their radio telescopes to listen to a star that many hope might hold signs of intelligent alien life -- but so far, no one is sending any signals our way.

NASA Discovers Earth-Like Planet Orbiting 'Cousin' of Sun
Astronomers hunting for another Earth have found the closest match yet, a potentially rocky planet circling its star at the same distance as the Earth orbits the Sun, NASA said Thursday.

Study Shows Pluto's Moons in Chaos
Pluto's outer moons are continuously toppled and turned as they battle the joint gravitational forces of their parent planet and its primary moon Charon, a study published on Wednesday showed.

Search for aliens is on again, but next quest is finding money
Operating on money and equipment scrounged from the public and from Silicon Valley millionaires, and on the stubborn strength of their own dreams, a band of astronomers recently restarted one of the iconic quests of modern science, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence - SETI, for short - which had been interrupted last year by a lack of fin...
