Sun-Like Star Identified As the Potential Source of the Wow! Signal - Discover

Thanks to the European Space Agency and their 3D galactic map (available to all in its 1.3 billion-star-glory through the GAVS - Gaia Archive Visualization Service), we now have a likely candidate for the home system of the famous Wow! signal observed in 1977 by the now-defunct Big Ear radio telescope. Amateur astronomer Alberto Caballero suggests the strong 72-second intermittent signal to be a local of a star in Sagittarius about 1800 light years away, an identical twin of our own sun in temperature, radius size, and luminosity. That is, if we agree that the best habitat for an extraterrestrial intelligence is indeed a solar system just like our own. After all, a Particle Physicist Offers 75 Reasons We Don’t See Aliens to anyone willing to put aside the popular assumptions behind hopeful star-watching and signal analysis. (MS)
