‘Mathematically perfect’ star system being investigated for potential alien tech

Astronomers recently discovered the intriguing star system HD 110067 with six sub-Neptune planets orbiting closely to their host star in perfectly symmetrical orbits. Despite no evidence of alien technology found, scientists remain interested in exploring the system further. The system’s edge-on view from Earth offers a unique chance to detect potential signals, possibly from communication relays on the planets. Using advanced technology like the Green Bank Telescope, the team searched for technosignatures but faced challenges in distinguishing natural sources of radio waves. The results highlight the need for more sophisticated searches in the quest to uncover life beyond Earth.
