Obtain a mysterious signal of aliens

Astronomers have obtained 5 mysterious signals from deep in space, outside our Milky Way galaxy. They suspect they can be transmitted from an extraterrestrial civilization.

Obtain a suspected alien signal

So far, only about 10 strange radio waves of this type have been previously collected around the world. The latest mysterious signals are obtained by Parkes radio telescopes in Australia, including a double pulse and 4 single pulses.

Swinburne University's Emily Petroff (Australia), who helps detect new radio pulses, claims this strange signal could lead to an important discovery.

Fast radio bursts (FRB) are radio waves that appear transient and random.

Fast radio bursts (FRB) are radio waves that appear transient and random, making it difficult for us to search and study them. The mystery of this phenomenon stems from the fact that the scientific community still does not know what produces such short and abrupt bursts . That leads to a myriad of conjectures about it, ranging from the impact of stars to the alien messages of aliens.

Scientists believe that the latest mysterious signals come from tens of billions of light years away from us. Each radio burst is about 2.4 milliseconds apart (1 millisecond = 1/1000 second).

The discovery is published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, which is making astronomers extremely excited because it "describes two components clearly". Meanwhile, many previously proposed models explain the FRB using a single high energy incident involving compact objects (such as neutron star merging products) and therefore not Can simply explain FRB 2 components.

FRB was first discovered by space telescopes or rather "heard" in 2007 . However, it happened so briefly and randomly that it took many years later, astronomers agreed that it was not an incident result in one of the telescope's parts. The signal, which lasts only 5 milliseconds, is named the Lorimer explosion , after its discoverer - Duncan Lorimer researcher.

Although the 11th FRB has ever been discovered, radio pulses obtained by the Parkes telescope in Australia are the first FRB to contain a known double pulse.

This finding is comparable to the "Wow signal" that Jerry Ehman "grabbed" in 1977. The telescope boom caused by a telescope from the Big Ear telescope of Ohio University (USA) was heard. 38 years ago, possessing all the traces that it came from a distant planet, but since then, astronomers have not discovered any more such signals.
