JUST-IN: NASA Detects Radio Signal from Proxima Centauri

Scientists studying archival data collected by the Parkes radio telescope in Australia say they have found a radio signal that came from the direction of Proxima Centauri, the closest star to Earth. Proxima Centauri has at least one planet that may be habitable to life as we know it. There is a slim chance that the signal came from extraterrestrial beings, though other explanations are far more likely. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and no one—including the astronomers analyzing the data—are claiming they’ve found aliens. A paper analyzing the findings is not expected to be published until early 2021, so there’s a lot we don’t know.

Proxima Centauri mystery deepens: We are on the brink of discovering aliens

Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our own Sun, has long been a subject of fascination for scientists and the general public alike. Located just 4.2 light years away, it has been the subject of numerous studies and observations over the years. Recently, however, the mystery surrounding Proxima Centauri has deepened even further, raising the question of whether we may be on the brink of discovering aliens. One of the most intriguing recent developments has been the discovery of an Earth-sized planet orbiting Proxima Centauri. Dubbed "Proxima b," this planet is located within the "habitable zone" of the star, meaning that it is possible that liquid water could exist on its surface. This has sparked speculation that the planet could potentially be home to some form of life. However, the mystery doesn't end there. In recent years, scientists have also detected strange bursts of radio waves emanating from Proxima Centauri. These bursts, known as "fast r...
