Amateur astronomer Alberto Caballero says Wow!, whose source has not been found since it was detected in 1977. he found a possible source for his signal. But for the source to be confirmed, Real astronomers need to work on it.
On August 15, 1977, he was awarded a doctor of Science degree from Ohio State University, continuing his studies under the SETI project. Jerry R Ehman performed ” Wow! he had detected a narrow-band radio signal called” the signal ” and lasted 72 seconds.
Although it was said that the only logical explanation for the strong radio signal at the time may have been an extraterrestrial intelligent life form, despite many studies and studies conducted over the intervening 43 years, the source of the signal could not be traced.
Amateur astronomer and YouTuber Alberto Caballero, co-founder of the Exoplanets Channel, said in a new article he uploaded to the arXiv server, “Wow! he may have provided an explanation for the source of the signal”.
Studying stars in the Gaia database, created by a team at the Gaia observatory of the European Space Agency, Caballero began studying Sun-like stars in case the signal in question actually comes from an extraterrestrial intelligent life form.
As a result of his long work, Caballero said that the Star 2MASS 19281982-2640123, which is almost the twin of The Sun, “Wow! he found that it could be the source of the signal”. However, there are different candidates in the region where the star is located that may be the source of the signal.
He told Caballero, ” Wow! although it does not show an exact source for its” signal”, it offers a suitable candidate for astronomers with the necessary equipment to perform studies on and study their exoplanets.
