See it on NASA's siteThis image displays an anomalous signal detected by a radio telescope involved in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, SETI. The bright colors against the blue background indicate the signal's strength across different frequencies over time. While the cause of such signals is often terrestrial interference, there is a slight possibility they could originate from an extraterrestrial intelligence. The search for these signals continues through various groups, including the SETI League.
