Technosignatures

Entering a New Era of Looking for ET

Technosignatures are observational manifestations of technology, particularly those that could be detected with the tools of astronomy. City lights, air pollution, and satellites are all examples of technosignatures on Earth. Could the next generation of telescopes find evidence of alien technology on another planet?

A recent workshop, TechnoClimes was sponsored by the NASA Exobiology program develop strategies for identifying and detecting technosignatures by current or future astronomical missions.
