The mystery of star Ross 128: The star 11 light years away from us is behaving strangely, and astronomers are trying to figure out what's going on?
Astronomers were surprised by a strange signal coming from the star Ross 128, which is located 11 light-years from Earth. These signals are observed at higher frequencies than normal radio signals from stars and propagate in all directions. Their structure, permanence and stationary nature indicate that they cannot come from a near-Earth satellite.
Ross 128 is an active flare star and so far these flares are the main hypothesized corollary to the signals it is sending out now. Of note: The signal is unlike any burst astronomers have recorded to date because all of the star's activity occurs at a much lower altitude. That is, although scientists think the new signal could be a sign of a new class of stellar flares.
There are a few more assumptions, all based on the assumption that the signal is not coming from Ross 128. According to one analysis, there is another source of signal in the area, such as background stars. There is also speculation that the cause of the anomaly is a satellite in a high orbit. This would explain why the signal doesn't move (as it would if the satellite were closer to Earth), but here its frequency simply can't be confirmed.
Abel Mendez, director of Arecibo’s Planetary Habitability Laboratory, commented: “We need to abandon all other possibilities before continuing to study aliens, but the existence of aliens is not yet certain.”
But even if these are not signals emitted by aliens, in any case we have a brand new red dwarf event, and that is Ross 128, which is a completely unique phenomenon in its own right.
