A rare cosmic explosion can serve as a beacon for alien signals. Astronomers tested this idea for the first time, tracking the brightness of 58 stars at precisely calculated times. Two suspicious blips were found, but both turned out to be noise. The scheme works perfectly and promises future discoveries.
🎯 At its peak, GRB 221009A emitted as much energy as the entire Sun over 10 billion years.
