"The Quest for Alien Beacons: Breakthrough  Listen's Search for Intelligent Life" The question of whether intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations exist beyond our planet has intrigued humanity for centuries. While science fiction has often depicted encounters with advanced alien species, the real-world search for signs of intelligent life among the stars has been a much more challenging endeavor. In recent years, scientists have expanded their efforts to explore this question in a more systematic and rigorous manner. One notable initiative that aims to expand the search for signs of technologically advanced alien civilizations is the Breakthrough Listen Investigation for Periodic Spectral Signals (BLIPSS). Led by a team of researchers, including Akshay Suresh, a graduate student at Cornell University, BLIPSS focuses on monitoring a densely populated region of stars located toward the center of our galaxy. This ambitious project has captured the attention of both the s
