For four decades, many SETI experiments have focused on finding sharp spikes in frequency but the new study says signals may not stay narrow as they travel away from their home system.

Researchers may have finally traced 1977’s famous extraterrestrial anomaly back toward massive, naturally occurring hydrogen emission flares.

Turbulent plasma near distant stars could blur ultra-narrow signals before they leave their home star systems - making them difficult to detect.

The most consequential signal humanity ever detects from another civilization may not arrive as a calm introduction. It may ...
