Alien Life Search in 100,000 Galaxies Turned Out Negative: Will Astronomers Stop the Search?

Scientists and astronomers have scanned around 100,000 galaxies in the Milky Way to find alien life form or civilization present out there as per the report of News Maine.

After examining reports from Penn State University scientists, they say that the data gathered by NASA satellite showed infrared radiation and might be generated by a possible alien civilization.

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series have published these observations by scientists hoping to know if there is indeed life in our galaxies.  Freeman Dyson, a physicist, said that emissions that are mid-infrared may already be evidence of such activities by aliens and that was around fifty years ago.  During that time, telescopes then were not equipped to make such radiation measurements in outer space and it was impossible at that time.

Today, advanced telescopes are available specifically instruments from WISE manufacturer.  Using this telescope, around 100 million observations were submitted for analysis for further evidence of our galaxies that might be emitting an infrared distinct radiation.

Astrophysicist and astronomer at Penn State University Jason T. Wright who works at the Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds, has stated what the goal of their research is.  He said that if there is an alien civilization out there and if the galaxy has been inhabited by them then it will be detected in wavelengths in mid-infrared.  That is how WISE telescopes work, to detect mid to strong infrared wavelengths.

He also said that from the 100,000 galaxies that were the target of the scientists' research, the galaxies turned out to contain no signs of alien population even using the starlight for each purpose.  Wright concluded that there are no alien civilizations out there or they are not using the needed energy to detect them.
