MODERATORS
I am not a physicist but this article is about background radiation and the study of it, and they found a lot of gamma radiation in a place they didn't expect.
As usual, the editor of the article chose a title that could easily make a reader assume "...have they possibly found aliens??" when the truth is the scientists are very excited about needing to revise their understanding of cosmic background radiation. It seems purposable that the article was titled with the word "signal", when the signal is a natural process, and then doesn't bother to clarify that there is a near 0% chance this is a sign of intelligent life.
2/10 article, badly explained science writing.
This is seemingly ALL articles involving astronomy nowadays. It’s because nowadays, everyone is too busy trying to out-dank one another to be bothered with actual science.
And it suck’s because when people do actually read this nonsense- they’re left disappointed. It’s a cry wolf Situation.
It's Business Insider
It's gone so far down the drain it's down in the gutter, drunk-fighting with the Daily Mail
My experience has taught me that any time I see a headline like this, it's always a pulsar, or background radiation.
