Cornell University’s Akshay Suresh is leading the Breakthrough Listen Investigation for Periodic Spectral Signals (BLIPSS), a project focused on detecting repetitive signals from the Milky Way’s core as potential evidence of extraterrestrial life. By focusing on dense star clusters and using a narrow frequency range, BLIPSS aims to detect signals that could be evidence of alien technology.
Akshay Suresh, a graduate student at Cornell University, spearheads an extraordinary scientific endeavor — a groundbreaking mission to uncover periodic signals emanating from the core of the Milky Way called the Breakthrough Listen Investigation for Periodic Spectral Signals (BLIPSS). Such repetitive patterns could be the key to unlocking the mysteries of extraterrestrial intelligence in our galaxy. Suresh and his co-authors detail the project’s results thus far in a paper that was recently published in the Astronomical Journal, “A 4–8 GHz Galactic Center Search for Periodic Technosignatures.”
