friendly reminder that findtags is the best way to search tumblr’s absolutely destroyed tag system. it actually accurately looks through the tags without omitting results. it’s the only thing i use at this point because it’s the only thing that works

i was today years old learning about this and it’s great!

The Wow! signal.

A signal sequence that lasted for 72 seconds in 1977 but has never been seen again. The signal appeared to come from a globular cluster in the Sagittarius constellation, but to this day no definite answer for where the signal originated can be given.

This signal…

After numerous checks and re-checks, it’s been found to have definitely come from an extraterrestrial source.

It was broadcast at 1420 MHz. This frequency isn’t used by Earth communications for science reasons. It’s a frequency which neutral hydrogen emits at in interstellar space and is useful in radio astronomy.

Interestingly, emitting a strong signal at this frequency is a likely way to get someone’s attention if there’s anyone listening, because any other radio astronomers in the universe will definitely know of it and be making observations of it.

That really is a very strong signal. Against the backgrounds, it looks to me like about 30 standard deviations (give or take).

Actually, that globular cluster (M55) is just the closest object to the transmission’s source. It appeared to have come from a region of mostly empty space (though it’s worth remembering that distant red dwarfs or brown dwarfs could be too faint to be detectable).

The astronomer who found this and scrawled “Wow!” on that printout was Jerry Ehman at the Big Ear radio telescope in Ohio. Credit where it’s due.

Despite a lot of efforts, this kind of signal has only ever been recorded this one time. There’s a chance we may never know what it was.

It is unlike any other kind of phenomenon ever observed in astronomy. The only logical scientific explanation is that it was one of two things: Either it was a completely unknown and incredibly rare astronomical phenomenon which modern astronomy is completely unaware of – or it was an intercepted alien transmission. There are no other possibilities.

Concept:

A Ds9 episode from Garak's perspective. The episode is him trying to finish this one big order for some dresses while also stopping an assassination attempt in secret.

We see him get some secret information that Sisko is about to be murdered but he can't tell Sisko for secret reasons. So he has to thwart the assassination attempt himself. We see him make subspace calls to his contacts, sneak around on the station after closing and eventually follow and take out the assassin just as they're about to murder Sisko.

We ALSO see him deal with Quark being a difficult customer, Bolian customs issue for a button delivery and also Julian Bashir being clueless about what is happening right in front of him at all times.

While Garak is dealing with this very stressful day we get hints about some regular A plot business going on. We see Kai Winn pass the shop talking to Sisko. Garak and Julian have lunch and we hear Julian say stuff like "Quark shouldn't have bought that mango in the first place" but we never get any details.

At the end of the episode Garak closes the shop early because obviously he's stressed OUT. Of course Julian says something like "I guess you had a slow day today". Garak smiles and nods and say "Indeed Doctor, I was bored out of my mind" and they walk away smiling, as we pan to the shop storage room where the body of the assassin is shoved inside a box of discarded wrapping paper.

All I want is that one perfectly comedic scene where Garak is in the middle of getting the dead body into the shop when he hears Julian on the promenade outside. Garak, always thinking on his feet, passes the body off as a mannequin while Julian comes in to chat away about racquetball or whatever.

This is funny to me because of all the times Garak is walking around looking like your harmless, gay lizard uncle whose only concern is your atrocious outfit but the whole time he's high as balls on drugs and thinking about murder.
