The Wow! Signal #universe #astronomy #exoplanets #didyouknow #funfacts #shorts

The Wow! signal was a strong radio signal detected by the Big Ear radio telescope in Ohio on August 15, 1977. The signal lasted for 72 seconds and was so strong that it caused Jerry Ehman, the astronomer who was monitoring the telescope at the time, to write "Wow!" on the computer printout of the data.

The Wow! signal has never been detected again, and its origin remains a mystery. Some scientists believe that the signal could have been from an extraterrestrial intelligence, but others believe that it could have been from a natural source, such as a comet or a supernova.

The Wow! signal is one of the most famous and mysterious signals ever detected. It is a reminder that there is still much that we don't know about the universe and our place in it.
