An Indian scientist has discovered that nearly 15 mysterious
and strange radio burst has been detected coming out from a faraway dwarf
galaxy. But the astonishing thing is that the scientist claims that these
mysterious signals might be sent by the aliens or intelligent create citing
their presence in the universe. This remarkable discovery has excited the space
enthusiasts and they think that this might be perfect a proof of the existence
of the extraterrestrial life outside Earth and also they want that the alien
creatures should be tracked down through these radio signals.
Dr. Vishal Gajjar, a postdoc at the University of California
Berkley researching for the $100m ‘Breakthrough Listen” project, has
successfully detected 15 strange and repetitive Radio signal bursts radiating
out from a small galaxy using the Breakthrough Listen to the instrument at
Green Bank on accumulating 400 terabytes of observations of FRB 121102’s
location. According to the reports of the latest discovery, the dwarf galaxy is
said to be 3 million light years away from Earth and it is observed that the
mysterious signals are coming out from that galaxy indicating the presence of
aliens.
These bizarre radio bursts were first detected a decade ago
but were not thoroughly understood by the scientists back then. The FRBs or the
fast radio bursts are the dazzling and insignificant pulses or signals of radio
that are emitted from the distant galaxies. The Parkes telescope of Australia
was the first one to detect the strange radio bursts and now the scientists
have been able to detect 15 such strange and mysterious radio burst signals
from the distant dwarf galaxy. As the 15 new disturbed pulses took place within
5 hours, it indicated about the new active state of the source.
The breakthrough Initiative’s announcement informed that the
distinctive shape imposed by the dispersion on the initial pulse indicates the
amount of material present between them and the source and hence they get the
distance of the host galaxy. The dwarf galaxy FRB 121102 is said to be about 3
billion light years away from Earth. The 15 FRBs were detected through the
Breakthrough Listen project which was initiated to observe the nearby galaxies
and stars and detect the presence of any extraterrestrial bodies like aliens in
them. It was launched by cosmologist Stephen Hawking and Internet investor and
philanthropist Yuri Milner.
