HD 164595 is 95 light years away.

According to scientists, it may be the result of a natural phenomenon, such as "micro-lens" created by the gravitational force of the star that intensifies and concentrates signals from other places. . Astronomers have asked SETI, the organization to search for extraterrestrial life, to better monitor this message.

Radio wave signals obtained.

SETI will use the Allen telescope in Northern California and the SETI Boquete Observatory in Panama to monitor HD 164595. It is known that the first signal detection was on May 15 last year by the RATAN-600 telescope at Zelenchukskaya.

SETI will monitor HD 164595.

HD 164595 attracted the attention of the scientific world because this star is quite similar to the Sun with at least one planet orbiting around. Its average temperature is about 12 Kelvin higher than the Sun, and about 100 million years younger.

"Nobody is sure to have an extraterrestrial civilization but it (HD 164595) is definitely worth studying , " said Gilster, a scientist at Centauri Dreams.
