Wetenschappers van de Universiteit van Manchester en de Universiteit van Mauritius gebruikten crowd sourcedata om radiolekken van mobiele torens te simuleren. Dit deden ze om te bepalen wat buitenaardse beschavingen zouden kunnen waarnemen van verschillende nabije sterren, waaronder de ster van Barnard, op zes lichtjaren afstand van de aarde.

Scientists from The University of Manchester and the University of Mauritius used crowd sourced data to simulate radio leakage from mobile towers to determine what alien civilisations might detect from various nearby stars, including Barnard’s star, six light years away from Earth. The researchers found that only more technologically advanced civilisations would be able to detect the current levels of mobile tower radio leakage from Earth, the universities write in a press release.
