Researchers believe it is possible to detect messages from aliens flying between planets, reports Popular Mechanics. For more than half a century, scientists have been trying to detect messages from potential alien civilizations that inhabit our galaxy. So far, no signals have been detected that would indicate the existence of extraterrestrial intelligent life, but the search continues. Researchers are mainly focused on finding alien messages that are directed at Earth or those that fly by. But aliens can exchange messages between planets outside the solar system. The authors of the study, published in The Astronomical Journal, believe that this communication can be re-listened. Astronomers have come up with a way that tests show could detect alien radio communications. From Earth, one exoplanet, that is, a planet outside the solar system, can be observed passing in front of another and blocking it. This is called an eclipse. But the eclipsing planet does not always completely block the planet behind it. So any message that hypothetical aliens transmit from the eclipsed planet can be transmitted into space, and ground-based radio telescopes can detect it. In this way, scientists believe, the presence of extraterrestrial intelligence can be confirmed even if the aliens do not intend to contact other civilizations, but simply communicate with each other. According to the researchers, their method can detect narrow-band radio signals. Such signals are clearly artificial, since only humans are known to transmit them. They believe that the presence of such radio signals would be evidence that communication is taking place in deep space, although it does not necessarily mean that aliens want to communicate with us. The authors of the study believe that alien civilizations would most likely use the same communication methods as humans. At the same time, narrowband signals are easier to decipher if they are based on the same physics that we know. Although whether this will work, scientists cannot yet answer. At the same time, astronomers acknowledge that any potential alien civilization could exist much longer than human civilization. So their methods of communication could differ significantly. For example, aliens may communicate using gravitational waves, or pulsations in the fabric of space-time. These waves have not yet been fully studied, so it is virtually impossible to understand whether their source is artificial or emitted by a natural object.
