Scientists hunting for extraterrestrial life believe alien civilisations may indeed be attempting to contact Earth, but ...

The researchers who scan the skies for radio signals from extraterrestrials are now rethinking their approach.

SETI has spent decades listening for a sharp, well-defined radio signal that could indicate it was sent by distant intelligent life. Now researchers believe that space weather could distort and blur s ...

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

We might have missed signals from aliens because they are being disrupted by the conditions of space, scientists have warned. Messages being sent from distant planets could be disrupted by activity ...

E.T. could be phoning home — but we’re not hearing the call. A new study published in The Astrophysical Journal argues that “space weather” could be distorting incoming transmissions from ...
