Here’s what we know about the signal from Proxima Centauri











An Mysterious signal from the direction of Proxima Centauri, our Sun’s nearest stellar neighbor, is one of the latest sensations on the internet .This signal could be real or likely, it’s a disappointment.



The 64-meter Parkes radio telescope in Australia was used to find a faint signal in April and May 2019 while observing Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf 4.25 light-years from Earth.



Proxima Centauri has two planets in habitable zone of the star, one is a super-Earth with at least 1.17 Earth mass. Habitable region is where liquid water is possible on surface.

In late October 2020, a intern undergraduate at Hillsdale College, found a narrowband transmission at a frequency of 982.002 megahertz in a portion of the radio spectrum rarely used by human-made transmitters — buried in the data.



the signal, showed up during five 30-minute periods over several days, all while the telescope was pointing directly at Proxima.



The discussion is weather it is exra terrestrial or something man made that they received.
