#KnowledgeBit: #Technosignatures are measurable scientific evidence of past or present technology created by extraterrestrial intelligence, acting as potential indicators of advanced alien civilizations.
From explaining unusual features on #Mars and studying #meteor airbursts in Earth’s atmosphere to advancing new ways of detecting #technosignatures, March’s stories reflect how scientists are continually refining our understanding of both nearby and distant worlds.

From Andreas - “Although the likelihood of discovering simple (biosignatures) or intelligent (technosignatures) life in our galaxy is unknown, a true positive detection is expected to significantly impact society through amplification by social media & the news media.
Research in risk & science communication shows that risk perceptions and public representations of astrobiology/SETI play vital roles in how these events unfold in the public sphere.
What happens after we discover life beyond Earth?
Today Martin Dominik is speaking with the SETI Institute’s Franck Marchis about our paper on post-detection futures.
