$100-mn alien-hunting project spots 15 radio bursts in space
Breakthrough Listen, a $100 million alien-hunting initiative launched by Stephen Hawking, has detected 15 fast radio bursts emanating from a galaxy 3 billion light-years away. Signals from the galaxy were first detected by Australia-based telescopes in 2012 and again in 2016 which helped pinpoint its location. Possible sources for such radio bursts range from neutron stars to alien spacecraft.
