MELBOURNE: An Australian telescope has recently stated that there are no signs of alien life have found in the study of ten million star systems.
According to details, an Australian telescope known as Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) completed its deepest and broadest search at low frequencies for alien technologies and scanned a patch of sky known to include at least ten million stars.
The telescope is considered to be a highly significant instrument to explore extraterrestrial life. The study was conducted by Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) astronomer Dr. Chenoa Tremblay and Professor Steven Tingay, from the Curtin University, International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR).

As per Dr. Tremblay, the telescope searched for frequencies that could indicate the presence of an intelligent source, however, no signs of any creature existing in space were found.
“The MWA is a unique telescope, with an extraordinarily wide field-of-view that allows us to observe millions of stars simultaneously. We observed the sky around the constellation of Vela for 17 hours, looking more than 100 times broader and deeper than ever before. With this dataset, we found no technosignatures, no sign of intelligent life,” Dr. Tremblay said.
