ASMR | Tabby's Star Part 1: SETI and the Search for life in Space | Science | Astronomy | Cosmology

Description: In 2015 SETI was notified of a mysterious and significant dimming of a known star by the Astronomer, Tabetha S. Boyajian. It's now called Tabby's Star. This star is 1500 light years away, which is still in our neighborhood relative to the size of the Milky Way Galaxy, and much speculation has been put forth about whether it's an Alien Megastructures or merely a serendipitous observation of an enormous cloud of debris periodically blocking the luminosity of the star from our vantage point.

Tonight we discuss the scientific/astronomical techniques that are used to find anomalies such as Tabby's star. In part 2 we will explore more in depth speculation about what the observed dimming could actually be, using both science and science fiction as our guides.

In 1980, Carl Sagan, Bruce Murray, and Louis Friedman founded the U.S. Planetary Society, partly as a vehicle for SETI studies.

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is a collective term for scientific searches for intelligent extraterrestrial life, for example, monitoring electromagnetic radiation for signs of transmissions from civilizations on other planets.

Scientific investigation began shortly after the advent of radio in the early 1900s, and focused international efforts have been going on since the 1980s. In 2015 Stephen Hawking and Russian billionaire Yuri Milner announced a well-funded effort called the Breakthrough Initiatives.
