I read in the paper today about the Fomalhaut system and that of another star farther away. Two or three days ago the paper told us of the Fomalhaut find.

---

The formalhaut system was discovered in 2004 and verifed By Keck telescope. There have been over 300 extrasolar planets found most are hot jupiters one with a ten hour orbit. This planet is gasing off and will soon be a cinder. A super earth about 5 times larger than earth has been found but I hvaent heard a name. If you use skymap it plots hits and reobservations. many are in these newly found star systems. This is exciting stuff because some hits are originating in these star stystems and some are on the the top 200. The skymap associated with Seti@home also shows where these extrasolar planets are. Amazing fact is some of these coencide with seti hits.

i cant get a image to post on this forum Least whys I dont know how. I have an image of cancri 55 start sysytem compared to our solar system. Ill post it when I find out how.

just post a link using [url] your site here[/url] This helps save a bit of space at S@H and decreases load times on the site

upload the image to a bulletin board such as Photobucket and then copy the Image code created there for bulletin boards from there --then paste into your reply on the SETI message boards.

- Hope that helps . . .

Im fasinated with this planary system. Not only is it a star much like our own the mysterious hits occur in this particular region of space. On skymap its been getting alot of tripletes from this area on a reoccuring basis on seti.
Well Dr Ceti I wish to thank you for your help, the image part is kickin my butt.
Another plantary system with activity on seti is the 51 Peg system I belive this was the first extrasolar planet found. There are 3 stars with planets confirmed near 51 Peg and most are hot jupiters snuggled in close to their parent star. These planets are being detected as a heat source and the smaller and cooler terrestial planets like earth are much harder to find. Most of the plantary systems found many were predicticted but not directly observed, but by figureing out the wobble in the parent star.
Heres a fasicinating discovery, the Dogone people of central africa belive that man originated from the binary star system of Sirius. They belive thats its dimmer star is their home. The fasination of this is these people are stone age people lost in time. Sirius and its neighbor Sirius B. Sirius B is a dim star completely invisible to the naked eye from earth. The catch is the elliptical orbit drawn around sirius that this dim star has. How in the world would they know that. I only wish I had the article. There is a drawing from the dogone people that shows the obit of sirius B.
Also check for hits by Seti in this star system Lo N Behold theres activity there.....

I believe in coincidences

Here for some eye opening facts:
http://exoplanets.org/planets.shtml
This is a fasicinating field to be able to work in I would think. Correlate some of the star systems listed with hits on Seti. Skymap has many of them listed.

There is, as of now, no unexplained radio source coming from any known planetary system that has been detected by SETI@Home software.

If you see hits on the SETI@Home mapview that look close to known planetary systems, even apparently right on top of those systems, that does NOT mean that there is any detected radio activity coming FROM those systems.

Please keep in mind that the distances encompassed in the SETI@Home mapview graphic comprise thousands of light years from one end of the graphic to the other.

Taurus' QUOTE: " . . . that does NOT mean that there is any detected radio activity coming FROM those systems".

. . . that does NOT mean that there AREN'T any detected radio activity coming FROM those systems

and that ALSO means that there IS A 'POSSIBILITY' as well [in other words] . . .

. . . steps politely out of Thread, bowin' Thank You Thank You ;)

Notice I was careful to say "any detected radio activity"...

You're right, there could be signals coming from any of the 300 or so known planetary systems, but to my knowledge we haven't detected any yet.

Anyway, if I was to bet, I'm pretty much 100% positive (or as close to 100% as I can get) that there is no intelligent life in any of those 300 known systems.

If you never heard anything on morse code, would it sound alien if you have never heard dots and dashes before. As you say the signals have not been positivly declared as intelligent signals. But the distances to these radio sources all that would be left of an intelligent signal would be a carrier wave. This very well be what we percieve as trippletes. By re-occuring at the same spot in space in a solar system at different times too many coincidental occurances. This could possiably ET's everyday form of communication. It could be massive jupiter type planets snuggled close to stars and creating radio emmisions. But to see these other planatary systems and wonder "Are We All There Is". I cant accept that with the sheer size of the universe and planets like earth are elsewhere.

That sounds nice, but that's just not the case, and the SETI@Home team knows that.

These detected radio sources already have either 100% natural explanations, or are nothing more than Earthbound interference.

If SETI@Home actually detects alien morse code, I can absolutely guarantee you that it will be extremely obvious, and we will all know about it.

This is the closest thing to alien morse code that we've ever detected:

...in the end, it was determined to definitely *not* be an intelligent signal.
