Unexplained Signals from Space

The video discusses three intriguing astronomical phenomena: the Wow Signal detected in 1977 by Ohio State University's radio telescope, the unusual dimming of star KIC 8462852 observed by Kepler, and a radio signal detected by Russian scientists in 2015. Each event sparked speculation about extraterrestrial life, but none provided conclusive evidence. The Wow Signal was a one-time occurrence, the dimming of KIC 8462852 remains unexplained, and the Russian signal was likely interference. These cases highlight the challenges in identifying signals from intelligent life.

What was the 'Wow! Signal' and who discovered it?

• A signal from a comet discovered by Neil deGrasse Tyson
