Astronomers scanned the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS for alien signals using the Green Bank Telescope, but found none. This interstellar object is only the third in line to be discovered, coming after 1I/Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov. The scientific investigation:Researchers from the Breakthrough Listen initiative have thoroughly examined the comet 3I/ATLAS. The research on such interstellar objects helps scientists to learn about the formation of objects around different stars and their subsequent travel to the galactic centre. Henceforth, every new interstellar object serves as a source of precious information to us regarding distant planetary systems and the cosmic history of our galaxy.
