One of the greatest advances in space observation history is the James Webb Space Telescope. The scientific community has great hopes for this space telescope because it is significantly more powerful than any other space telescope ever deployed by humanity. There are billions of miles between us and the stars, but that doesn't make them any less interesting. While their dazzling display of light in the night sky is appreciated by many, it is the planets that orbit them that scientists find most intriguing. With the recent discovery of life signs on one of these planets by the cutting-edge James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have more incentive than ever to keep an eye on it. What evidence did the JWST find? On which planet did the telescope make this discovery? In this video, we'll explain how the James Webb Space Telescope found evidence of life on a faraway planet. In April of 2019, a radio signal was detected that was thought to have originated in the Proxima Centauri area. The signal, which has since been dubbed Breakthrough Listen Candidate 1 or BLC-1, was discovered as a consequence of the Breakthrough Listen project, which was established to seek for intelligent extraterrestrial communication throughout the Universe. The project has garnered nearly $100 million in financing and has dedicated thousands of hours of telescope observation time in cutting-edge facilities around the world. The program, which began in January 2016, is still the most extensive search for extraterrestrial communication outside of our solar system. The CSIRO Parkes Radio Telescope in New South Wales, Australia, detected the signal or techno signature.
