The researchers who scan the skies for radio signals from extraterrestrials are now rethinking their approach.

Many people who don’t believe one conspiracy theory about that station—known as the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP—believe another. A common misconception is that it can ...

Turbulent plasma near distant stars could blur ultra-narrow signals before they leave their home star systems - making them ...
