The Search for Extraterrestrial Life: Using Supernovae as a Focal Point

In the search for alien civilizations, researchers have proposed using bright galactic events like supernovae as a focal point for civilizations to announce their presence. SETI, dedicated to research and education, aims to drive exploration into the origins of life across the Universe. A recent paper reported an exciting development in the search for ET, using observations from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to monitor the SETI Ellipsoid. These findings open up new possibilities for exploring the existence of extraterrestrial life.
