Cosmos signal. How astrophysicists seek extraterrestrial civilizations (and what they find)

The Special Corps of Medusa Polina Eremenko tells Konstantin Benyumov how she worked on the outstanding text about scientists in Russia and the United States, who study signals from space in search of extraterrestrial civilizations. Inside are the voices of astrophysicists working in Karachay-Cherkessia, where one of the largest astronomical observatories in Russia is located. Polina also admits that in writing, she was inspired by the Stranger Things series (“Very strange things”). And as a bonus - a little electromagnetic “noise” from the planet Uranus transformed by NASA specialists into a sound signal.
