New SETI research suggests space weather like solar winds could be interfering with alien radio signals, making them harder to detect.

Comets are often treated as leftovers, but sometimes the leftovers become the primary focus. That is the case with 3I/ATLAS, only the third known interstellar object seen crossing the solar system, ...

Turbulent plasma near distant stars could blur ultra-narrow signals before they leave their home star systems - making them difficult to detect. The post How ‘space weather’ may cause alien signals to ...

Stellar plasma can smear alien radio signals before they escape their star system, making them harder for astronomers to detect.

The first bubble of hot gas seen around another star has been spotted around the "Moth," just 117 light-years away.

Around 70,000 years ago, a small, reddish star came near our solar system and disturbed comets and asteroids – just when modern humans were beginning to leave Africa. The star – Scholz’s star – named ...

Astronomers have been scanning the skies for alien radio signals for decades, but so far they’ve heard nary a peep (with one possible exception). But according to a recent study, that could be because ...

Remember 3I/ATLAS? Yes, the interstellar comet that made plenty of headlines in 2025 is still romping through our solar system.
