Many hypotheses have been advanced on the origin of the emission, including natural and human-made sources, but none of them adequately explain the signal.Īlthough the Wow! signal had no detectable modulation-a technique used to transmit information over radio waves-it remains the strongest candidate for an extraterrestrial radio transmission ever detected.

The entire signal sequence lasted for the full 72-second window during which Big Ear was able to observe it, but has not been detected since, despite several subsequent attempts by Ehman and others. He was so impressed by the result that he circled on the computer printout the reading of the signal's intensity, "6EQUJ5", and wrote the comment "Wow!" beside it, leading to the event's widely used name. Ehman discovered the anomaly a few days later while reviewing the recorded data. The signal appeared to come from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius and bore the expected hallmarks of extraterrestrial origin.Īstronomer Jerry R. The Wow! signal was a strong narrowband radio signal detected on August 15, 1977, by Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope in the United States, then used to support the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
The original printout with Ehman's handwritten exclamation is preserved by Ohio History Connection. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.The Wow! signal represented as "6EQUJ5". And economists say that those higher costs will mean the government's newly announced measures like tax cuts and energy subsidies may soon become meaningless for many families' finances.

PRIME MINISTER LIZ TRUSS: I think we have to remember what situation this country was facing. UNIDENTIFIED JOURNALIST: Lydia says, are you ashamed of what you've done? Are you? So after nearly a week of silence, Truss spent this morning in damage control mode, doing interviews with local radio hosts who put listeners' questions to her in exchanges that often turn tense. And throughout this week, the fallout has been not just financial, but political, too. The intention was to trigger higher growth rates, In Truss's words, to unleash the U.K.'s talent, essentially to encourage a form of trickle-down economics. It all started last Friday, when her government promised lower taxes on individual income, property transactions and corporate revenues.
