A comet from another star system does not arrive every year. That is part of what made 3I/ATLAS so compelling when it appeared in July 2025. It streaked into the Solar System on a path so extreme that ...

Are there no alien signals to find... or do we need to update how we search for them? We’ve been looking for messages from the stars ever since Frank Drake pointed the Green Bank radio telescope at ...

Just over 40 years ago, in his novel Contact, astronomer Carl Sagan imagined what it would be like to detect radio signals beamed from other intelligent lifeforms in the galaxy. In the story, these ...

No alien signals have been detected from an interstellar, cigar-shaped space rock discovered travelling through our Solar System in October, researchers listening for evidence of extraterrestrial ...

The search for alien radio signals has spent decades listening in a familiar part of the spectrum. A first-of-its-kind survey now suggests that unexplored higher frequencies could widen the hunt, ...
