In 1977, scientists discovered a mysterious signal beaming from space that was so powerful it prompted astronomer Jerry Ehman to write 'Wow!' on the telescope's readout. For decades, scientists have ...

In 1977, the Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio telescope received an unusually strong narrowband radio signal, leading to widespread excitement about the possibility of having encountered evidence ...

"Our results don't solve the mystery of the Wow! Signal, but they give us the clearest picture yet of what it was and where it came from." For researchers seeking answers to the question of whether we ...

If the astronomer's hypothesis is right, it could mean that the interstellar object is linked to alien technology.

It’s been nearly 50 years since astronomers detected the most famous space signal we’ve ever received—a 72-second radio burst that lit up a printout at Ohio State’s Big Ear radio telescope in 1977.

On August 15, 1977, the Big Ear Radio Telescope in Delaware, Ohio, received the most powerful signal it would ever detect during its decades of observations. The signal lasted just 72 seconds, but ...

Interstellar comet 3I/Atlas was the likely origin point of the famous Wow! Signal detected in 1977, according to Harvard scientist Avi Loeb. In a new blog post, he pointed to the probability that the ...

As you might expect, the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo has a fascination with radio signals from space. While doing research into the legendary “Wow! Signal” detected back in 1977, they ...
