Cosmic Weather Could Muffle Alien Radio Signals, Prompting New Technosignature Search Strategies
To the point
New research by Vishal Gajjar and Grayce C Brown suggests that stormy space weather near a transmitting planet can spread out and weaken radio signals from alien civilizations, making them harder to detect with traditional narrowband searches and implying we may need to redesign search strategies—perhaps focusing on higher frequencies—to match what actually arrives at Earth.
