Science is sometimes filled with mysteries. A new signal found in the heart of the galaxy is questioning researchers.
In recent years astronomers have adapted their glasses and other telescopes for more accurate detection objects, and the spectrum of light visible to humans is very small. They then monitor the “signals” and “waves”. The most popular event of this genre is of course Signal Wow, Borrows its name from the exclamation point in the results sheet. Discovered on August 15, 1972, it has not been described to date.
But according to a study published in this week’s issue Journal of Astronomy, May steal a new signal program. Discovered by Jideng Wang of the University of Sydney, this signal, which appears to come from the center of our galaxy, does not apply to any known galaxy radio emission model.
This phenomenon, unexplained, is therefore possible Will be of organic origin, A hypothesis for the moment put to the edge by scientists. The discovery, made several times in 2020 by the Australian radio telescope ASKAP, was confirmed by its South African counterpart MeerKAT, which is more accurate than the Australian surveillance tool.
A strange activation cycle
But to give those who follow the extraterrestrial theory more grains to grind, this signal has a specific activation cycle. In fact, it’s releasing waves just a few weeks before it becomes inactive again. In February of this year, during the last discovered operation, researchers pointed to several non-electric telescopes whose field of study was different, resulting in zero.
David Kaplan, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, said:All other possible wavelengths, from infrared to X-rays via optics “, Nothing was noticed as the area indicated by the telescope was empty.
This discovery, strangely enough, means that this star (if it is true) is by no means known. So this celestial body will not be a neutron star or a pulsar, but a shiny object visible to the naked eye with “bursts” of magnetic waves.
During the MeerKAT study of the South African radio telescope, this phenomenon reappeared on the same day, compared to weeks during the observation with ASKAP. What continues to foster the mystery behind the baptism of “Andy’s subject” by Australian researchers. Researchers are now waiting for the SKA, the most powerful radio telescope commission that can solve this new puzzle of the sky. If there is a signal you can survive until then.
