Update on a story we mentioned a few weeks ago: <\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n
Since October 16, the SETI institute has been using its Allen Telescope Array to observe KIC 846 2852 over a wide range of radio frequencies (1 to 10 GHz), looking for any artificial signals. Keep in mind that this star system is relatively far, roughly 1400 light-years away. That’s more distant than the Orion Nebula, and getting there (if you feel the need) would require a 23 million year ride in our fastest rocket. But more to the point, any signals detectable here on Earth would have to be exceptionally powerful. <\/strong><\/div>\n
We’re continuing to analyze the data. In another week, our SETI team will once again observe KIC 846 2852 using some new receivers being affixed to the Allen Array – known as Antonio feeds – that will increase the sensitivity by a factor of two. Check this space.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Meanwhile, consider KIC 846 2852 as something suggestive of cosmic company, but no more than a suggestion.<\/strong><\/div>\n
