tldr:
1. Star system 100ly away.
2. Piqued interest of astronomical community, because "The six planets orbit their central star HD 110067 in a harmonic rhythm with planets aligning every few orbits"
3. No accurate data on masses of planets.
4. No radio signals or other "technosignatures" detected.
So, super unclear what #2 means and why this is interesting at all / whether it's uncommon.
- GordonS 3y agoThis may be a silly question, but is it even possible to detect radio signals from 100ly away?
- throw1234651234 3y agoThe short answer is no. Not even from Alpha Centauri 4ly away. A lot of people have misconceptions that we would immediately detect these signals - we would not. MAYBE from Alpha Centauri with a LOT of additional funding and effort, but not as is.
