Transmissions

Automobile transmissions have grown in sophistication over the years.

Researchers say the array’s isolated location in Western Australia is ideal for this type of astronomy because it’s quiet and far away from Earth-based radio transmissions.

Lukas continued to send transmissions to mission control.

These nanotubes have been converted into microscopic-sized filaments to create the world's smallest radio, one that picks up actual station transmissions.

Television and radio signals from Earth have only been traveling for about 80 years, the researchers said, adding that those transmissions have only reached about 8,531 stars and 3,555 potential Earth-like planets.
