The existence of extraterrestrials has been discussed in the world of astronomy for many years and intensive research is being done in this field. One of these studies is the famous one, which has puzzled both the media and astronomy for years. Wow! of the signal obtained work. 1977 This development, which emerged in 2018, caused a lot of excitement and motivated future studies.

a long time so to speak stand on the sidelines This study, to which detailed studies went back and forth and received little or no response, emerged again at the initiative of a new research group. your signal, from heaven Investigators trying to figure out from which part it reached us managed to find its location, but failed to receive the signal.

First of all Wow! Let’s briefly describe the signal:

Founded August 15, 1977 at Ohio State University Big ear A powerful 72-second shot was taken through his telescope. The astronomer who later studied this record Jerry Emanfound the recording so unusual that he had a margin of the notes. Wow! (wow) phrase added. After that, the signal began to be called by this name.

So how was the work done?

The work of the research group, Albert Caballero It starts with pioneering work by Caballero, Wow! to distinguish the galaxies from which the signal may originate. of the European Space Agency using the database.

He then narrowed the probability down to just 1 in this database of over 1 billion stars. If this is the name of the star with 1 probability, 2MASS 19281982-2640123.

Rolled up and using the double telescope method, the research group turned its attention to this galaxy.

In this study, using the Green Bank radio telescope and the Allen telescope array, the telescopes were pointed at the star on the same day. Telescopes that observed the star in separate periods even began to do so simultaneously at one point.

But in the end, wow! No trace of the signal found. However, the people who conducted the study stressed that the method they used was functional and could be used for other future signals. The relevant study can be found here.
