The Carl Kruse Blog Invites All To Another SETI chat
MIAMI, FL, USA, March 22, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — It’s another SETI talk!
This time the SETI Institute has invited Tara Murphy, Professor of Astrophysics currently at the School of Physics at the University of Sydney, as well as Natasha Hurley-Walker, who heads the extragalactic radio astronomy group at the Curtin University division of the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research, to discuss some as yet unexplained radio signals detected deep within our own solar system – the Milky Way – the center of which is 25,800 light years away from earth.
These signals, observed only within the past few months, were discovered by two Australian telescopes; the Murchison Wide-field Array telescope and the ASKAP radio telescope, both of which achieved completion (or ‘first light’) in 2012.
Are these detections unique, as they are supposed to be so far? Despite their current statuses as ‘natural’ (created by astronomical objects), could these signals possibly be found to have artificial origins? For example, could they have been emitted by intelligent extra-terrestrial populations far from Earth? Are we on the brink of discovering immense populations and astronomical events that had been previously unnoticed?
