One of the most confident radio signals in the history of science, the famous "Woe!", Which was registered by Ohio's "Big Ear" radio station in 1977, again appeared in the spotlight. The international team of researchers first conducted a detailed computer analysis of the initial data and found that the signal was much more powerful than previously thought. The preliminary version of the job was published in the Arxiv portal.
72 seconds "Woe!" The signal was accidentally registered during the observations within the framework of "Searching for External Intelligence" (SETI). It was a narrow radio with a frequency of about 1420 MHz, in the correct neutral hydrogen radiation area, which is considered a "space universal channel". The signal was named due to the post of astronomer Jerry Ehman, which, seeing the background surplus, wrote "Woe!" Since then, it has become a symbol of search of alien civilizations.
According to modern technologies, researchers have developed more than 75,000 pages of archival monitoring and frequency from 1420,4556 to 1420,726 MHz. In addition, the new assessment showed that its capacity was about 250 yansk, previously assessed for 54-212. This is one of the strongest radio signals ever registered by astronomers!
Scientists have ruled out the possibility of human origin. There were no TV stations nearby, there were no satellites, and the moon was on the other side of the earth. The most likely source is considered a cloud of neutral hydrogen, but no famous cloud has shown such a capacity before.
