Australian astronomers surveyed a patch of sky around the constellation Vela known to include at least 10 million stars. They found no technosignatures – no sign of intelligent life.
Technosignatures are what we humans would recognize as signs of technologically-advanced activity of an extraterrestrial intelligence.
Technosignatures are signs or signals, which if observed, would allow us to infer the existence of technological life elsewhere in the universe.
In the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI), a team of astronomers recently searched through the Kepler field to look for signatures of technologically-advanced civilizations.
