Vandaag 10 jaar geleden sailing-dulce.nl/home/article- #FastRadioBursts #WOWsignal #SETI Vrijdag 03-04-2015 Sinds 2001 registeren radiosterrenwachten korte en snelle uitbarstingen van radiostraling (FRB's) in een smalle bandbreedte. Ze duren maar een paar milliseconden. Niettemin hebben ze net zoveel energie als de zon in een maand uitzendt. Niemand weet waardoor ze veroorzaakt worden, alleen veronderstelt men dat ze door een kleine bron ergens in de ruimte worden uitgezonden. Die bron kan hooguit..

This is a brief account of the day the Wow! Signal was detected, including some lesser-known details, with more to come. #RadioAstronomy #Astrobiology #SETI #WowSignal #AreciboWow phl.upr.edu/wow/story

1420 MHz is the best frequency to spam alien astronomers. 😄 #seti #technosignatures #wowsignal #arecibowow

This is the last data line the "Big Ear" telescope recorded on printouts on April 25, 1984. I was with family near Columbus, Ohio, a couple of weeks after that, and I missed the opportunity to visit this telescope, which I didn't know existed then. 😕 #AreciboWow #WowSignal

We now have access to the original Wow! Signal computer code and are embarking on the process of transcribing it. This critical step will allow us to better understand the methodologies used to analyze the signal. #AreciboWow #WowSignal

At last: an explanation for the Wow! Signal—BBC

A perfectly rational explanation for the legendary radio burst from space in 1977 considered a possible alien communique. Phooey!

Une explication probable pour le célèbre "Wow Signal" (1977).
Pas de chance, ce ne sont sûrement pas les aliens 😢

arxiv.org/abs/2408.08513#

extrait :
" Le signal peut avoir été causé par un événement astrophysique unique : l'éclaircissement soudain d'un nuage d'hydrogène froid dû à l'émission stimulée d'une source de rayonnement transitoire forte "

Image du "wow !" sur le printing d'époque : 

Des séries de chiffres et de lettres codées et une inscription manuscrite en rouge "wow !" pour signaler ce qui sort de l'ordinaire dans l'observation faite par le radiotéléscope.

The #WowSignal Deciphered. It Was Hydrogen All Along.
The Wow! signal, detected on August 15, 1977, was an intense radio transmission that appeared artificial and raised the possibility of #extraterrestrial contact. However, recent research suggests it may have been caused by a natural #astrophysical event involving a #magnetar flare striking a hydrogen cloud.

Astronomers think they’ve found a plausible explanation of the Wow! signal

A new theory about what might have caused the Wow! signal 🙂

The 'WOW' signal in the 70s was an intense burst of electromagnetic energy at a given wavelength was seen as a signal from civilisation.

There have been phenomenon created in labs (radio wave excitation of a cloud of hydrogen atoms) that indicate that it could be naturally generated.

So may not be evidence for alien civilisation after all!..

...But still could be!

Wow! 🙂

"Researchers from the Planetary Habitability Laboratory at the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo have proposed a compelling explanation for one of the most enigmatic radio signals ever detected—the Wow! Signal."

The 47-year-old mystery of the "Wow! Signal" might finally be solved! Scientists from the Arecibo Observatory suggest it was caused by a rare astrophysical event, such as the brightening of a cold hydrogen cloud due to a magnetar flare. This groundbreaking discovery redefines our understanding of such signals and could guide future searches for extraterrestrial life.
