🐋 What if we've been missing messages from intelligent life right here on Earth?
Humpback whales are famous for their underwater songs, but researchers are discovering that these remarkable animals also produce a surprising variety of sounds above the surface.
One of the most intriguing is the “thrum,” a powerful, low-frequency rumble that can travel remarkable distances through the air. Scientists are investigating when whales produce these sounds and what they might mean.
SETI Institute researchers are also exploring whether whale exhalations produce previously unrecognized electrical or magnetic signatures.
Why does this matter for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence? Because recognizing unfamiliar intelligence means questioning our assumptions about how communication works.
In a recent SETI Live conversation, Simon Steel spoke with Fred Sharpe, Isabel Gerrard, and Don Drury about the surprising science of whale communication and what it might teach us about listening for life beyond Earth.

As night falls, the star Algol is in the northeast, in Perseus the hero. Its name means “the demon star.” It represents Medusa, a monster who turned anyone who looked at her to stone. Her sisters, the other Gorgons, are represented by fainter stars near Algol.

On All Souls Day 1541, Katherine Howard, the fifth wife of Henry VIII, was confined to her rooms at Hampton Court while the case against her was assembled, and within three months she would be dead on the scaffold at the Tower of London.
That part is history, but what happened immediately before that is something else.
You might come away from my book QUEENS AND KINGS convinced that Katherine is still present at Hampton Court.
Or you might not!
Either way, you’ll be entertained😊
