Manage episode 427274373 series 2914294
New radio observations of a distant Sun-like star, once thought to be the likely source of the famous WOW! signal, have revealed no evidence of anything (or anyone) capable of sending such a signal. Despite this, astronomers are excited because this "null result" helps refine their search techniques. The WOW! signal, detected in 1977, has been one of the biggest mysteries in the hunt for extraterrestrial life. The latest discovery is a crucial step in a more focused approach to investigating nearby stars for any signs of this enigmatic signal. Let's look at this and other most mysterious signals in the Universe!
