The Wow! signal was a strong narrowband radio signal detected on August 15, 1977, by Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope in the United States, then used to support the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
New evidence suggests the well-known Wow! signal from 1977 - long thought by some to be a sign of extraterrestrial life - was in fact generated by a passing comet.
(Phys.org)—A team of researchers with the Center of Planetary Science (CPS) has finally solved the mystery of the "Wow!" signal from 1977. It was a comet, they report, one that that was unknown...
Called the “Wow!” signal, the bright burst of radio waves has defied our understanding since its discovery in the 1970s. Now, scientists using archived data from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto...
The infamous signal recorded in 1977 might have been a laser-like beam of radiation from a hydrogen cloud energized by a powerful, magnetic star, preliminary research suggests.
The Wow! signal was a strong, narrow-band radio signal in the frequency range of 1420 MHz discovered in 1977 by radio astronomer Jerry Ehman after reviewing recorded data from Ohio State’s Big...
Named the Wow! signal, after an exclamatory note that a SETI researcher scrawled on a printout of the recording, various ideas have arisen that attempt to explain it. Maybe it was strange...
An unusually bright burst of radio waves—dubbed the Wow! signal —discovered in the 1970s has baffled astronomers ever since, given the tantalizing possibility that it just might be from an alien...
The Wow! Signal: An alien missed connection? Did humanity’s first contact with aliens already happen back in 1977? Probably not, but we may never know for sure. By Eric Betz | Published:...
One of the most famous events in the history of astronomy is the Wow! Signal that was picked up by Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio telescope in August 1977. The signal entered folklore because it couldn’t be explained by any known natural phenomena and didn’t appear to have originated from Earth.
