AT A GLANCE
K2-18b is one of the most promising worlds for the search for extraterrestrial life, so astronomers conducted an unusually powerful radio survey using both the VLA and MeerKAT telescopes. Advanced software analyzed millions of signals, filtering out Earth-based interference and other false positives.
No convincing artificial radio transmissions were found, but the project demonstrated a powerful new approach that will make future SETI searches faster and far more effective.
