EVSN - SETI and the Very Large Array

365DAYSOFASTRONOMY.ORG
About this episode

From Sept 11, 2023.

While we could spend an entire episode on Earth, there is just too much going on in the universe to linger anywhere too long. From our world, we journey out to look at the super massive black hole in the core of M87, and then Beth Johnson will join us with an interview of the SETI Institute’s Dr. Chenoa Tremblay and how radio astronomers are one step closer to simultaneously looking for life and doing science with the very large array. 

 

This interview highlights how advances in signal detection and processing will now allow researchers to both study the science of distant stars and look for potential signals of alien civilizations. (This episode was originally released on YouTube April 29, 2023.)
