Two Stars of Interest to SETI Researchers Are Kind of Close To Each Other

in aliens •  8 years ago 

Good news everyone, the signal coming from the direction of the star HD 164595 has been identified. It seemed astonishingly powerful for something coming from 94.4 light years away (HD 164595 is that distance from us). So powerful they were saying that if it was made by aliens in HD 164595, it would have to be a Kardashev Type II civilization to build a signal with that much power if it was beaming out that strong a signal in all directions. But no, the source of the signal was not in the star system HD 164595. It was just coming from a spacecraft in that direction. Not an alien spacecraft, a military satellite launched from Earth. SETI astronomers always check to see if any strange signal is coming from a known satellite, but they didn't know about this one. Someone else pointed it out.

I'm really, really glad this turned out to be just a satellite from Earth.

Here's a link to the story about the satellite:
