Astronomers from McGill University in Canada and the Indian Institute of Sciences announced that they were able to fix the radio signal emanating from hydrogen cars in a distant galaxy.. According to the Hindustan Times, radio signals that traveled such a long distance were not recorded before..

The signal was released when our universe was only 4.9 billion years old.. It comes from a galaxy that is 8.8 billion light-years away from Earth..

It was possible to fix the signal thanks to the method of gravitational lensing. It allows you to detect distant objects in space using another massive object that is closer to the observer.. A signal that comes from a more distant object is bent by a closer one, in this case, there was an increase of 30 times. This allowed the radio telescope to pick up a signal from a galaxy at a distance of 8.8 billion light years..

Detection of the signal left scientists delighted. At the same time, there were speculations in the society that he could be connected with an alien civilization..

Previously, scientists discovered a new black hole closest to Earth, which was designated Gaia BH1. The black hole is 10 times larger than the Sun, it is located at a distance of 1600 light years from us in the constellation Ophiuchus.
