Gliese 526
What happened to the entry for Gliese 526? Even the article on Bootes does not list it as a component of that constellation. http://www.astrostudio.org/xhip.php?hip=67155 http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_526 Kortoso (talk) 18:02, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Potential dangers and detectability
"Various commentators have identified several dangers..." IMHO, "identified" is too strong a word for the actual speculation at hand. Kortoso (talk) 18:05, 3 July 2013 (UTC) The idea that EMR emission poses a threat to a civilization by alerting hostile forces is one of the explanations for the Fermi paradox, so it is not that speculative.--Beliar (talk) 14:55, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

what happened to lone signal?
Anybody knows what happened to Lone Signal? They appear to be not sending since September. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.104.83.142 (talk) 06:07, 12 October 2013 (UTC)


 * My third and last "beam" was successfully transmitted by Lone Signal on August 13, 2013. Shortly afterwards, Lone Signal announced that it would be ceasing transmission.  At the time, there was talk on the website of the possibility of transmitting the beam towards a different target in the sky.  Later, there was a post on the Lone Signal website which stated that the project's website had generated only a fraction of the funds required to keep the project going.  I wish I had copied the post (since the website and the post are now both gone); but if memory serves, the website was generating only about a quarter of the funds required to keep the project going.Brianhass (talk) 11:20, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Signal Strength / Reception
The text says For example, the hailing message sent by Lone Signal would be detectable with an array area of 50 square metres (540 sq ft), and the message portion would be detectable by a telescope with 10 square kilometres (3.9 sq mi) of collecting area; by contrast, humanity's most powerful signals, from military radars and the Arecibo Observatory, could be detected with a small, 1 square metre (11 sq ft) antenna. I think we need to be a bit more specific. At what distance are we talking about receiving these signals? Mars? Obviously. The Magellanic Clouds? Almost certainly not. At what range do these collection areas stop being viable? * Septegram * Talk * Contributions * 23:34, 20 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Check to see if it's in the cited sources. If not, then it needs to go "bye-bye". Kortoso (talk) 16:48, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Added a "citation needed." I'm not quite ready to remove the claim, as it may come from something not in the citations given but referenced in them. That said, I won't scream if someone else is bolder and yanks 'em. Not that it would matter if I did. =grin=
