A new radio telescope in Canada is doing its job picking up mysterious signals from deep space known as "fast radio bursts" (FRBs).
The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) in British Columbia detected the first-ever FRB at frequencies below 700 MHz on July 25, a signal named FRB 180725A.
As you might guess, FRBs are milliseconds-long bursts of radio emissions that come from some unknown source across the universe. They're one of the newer cosmic mysteries around, having been first detected only about a decade ago. Possible explanations include bursts from magnetars, exploding black holes, and yes, highly advanced alien civilizations.

The announcement also notes that additional FRBs have been found in the past week at frequencies as low as 400 MHz and early indications suggest they aren't coming from known sources on Earth.
So far only one FRB has been observed repeating and researchers say whatever is sending that signal across the universe is stupendously powerful.

If all energy of a parent star is captured, we won't be able to directly see it since what we see is escaped energy.
Right, what we see has to be assumed to be escaped noise until we have proof otherwise but, a civilization capable of capture has the ability to control and therefor could use it to send a signal.
Thanks BenLurkin.

What movie is that from? It seems familiar.

Thanks, I thought that it looked familiar.
Thanks for the astro ping. Looks interesting.
My pleasure! Thanks for the recent topics you’ve posted!
