The Wow! Signal in The Tau Sagittarii Star

There was a signal received in 1977 at Ohio state university, caught with The Big Ear Radio Telescope. The signal came from the Saggittarius constellation near the Tau Sagittarii star. The signal begged much attention because it matched the expected signature of an interstellar signal in the antenna used, ” Ehman circled the signal on the computer printout and wrote the comment “Wow!” on its side. This comment became the name of the signal.”

Something interesting I thought I should add on to this which I found out only today during an Astronomy lecture in the American Museum of Natural History, and I thought it would make a cool addition to this already interesting bit. Turns out not only is The region of the sky that lies in the constellation Sagittarius, roughly 2.5 degrees south of the fifth-magnitude star group Chi Sagittarii. Tau Sagittarii is the closest easily visible star. But the Tau Sagittarii is a star similar to our own sun in that in shines a yellow wavelength meaning it’s a medium sized star with similar properties to our own. Figured once you have a signal like that, coming from a star much like our own, you kind of have an interesting astronomical phenomena at hand. Or I could just be speculating.

‘Almost everything they teach us about the ancient history is wrong: origin of men, civilizations and pyramids. Homo sapiens sapiens is not a result of the evolution and biologists will never find a “missing link”, because the intelligent man is product of genetic engineering. Sumerians are not the beginning of the civilized men, but rather beginning of another cycle of humanity. And finally, original pyramids, most superior and oldest, were made by advanced builders who knew energy, astronomy and construction better than we do.

In order to understand the ancient monuments, we need to view them through three realms: physical, energy and spiritual. Our scientific instruments are simply not enough to explain the purpose of oldest pyramids, for example. Mainstream scientists, archaeologists, historians and anthropologists, are often main obstacle for scientific progress.’

A zoom diving deep into the nucleus of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) then dissolving into an animation of a concentration of red stars. Pushing deeper into the animation reveals a disk of young blue stars swirling around a black hole. Hubble’s Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) revealed this disk of young blue stars that were swirling around a black hole in M31 in much the same way that the planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun. Astronomers are perplexed about how the pancake-shaped disk of stars could form so close to a giant black hole. In such a hostile environment, the black hole’s tidal forces should tear matter apart, making it difficult for gas and dust to collapse and form stars. The observations, astronomers say, may provide clues to the activities in the cores of more distant galaxies.
