Turbulent Space Weather May Blur Ultra-Narrow SETI Signals, Complicating Detection

To the point

Space weather near distant stars can blur ultra-narrow radio signals from alien civilizations, making them harder to detect even though searches target sharp frequencies, and a linked explainer describes how plasma turbulence could obscure signals as they travel while noting member-only access and login troubles.

Turbulent Space Weather May Blur Ultra-Narrow SETI Signals, Complicating Detection

SETI might be missing alien signals because “stellar ‘space weather’ may blur ultra-narrow radio signals from extraterrestrial civilizations before they leave t
