“These transmissions have encountered and will encounter other stars, introducing the possibility that intelligent life in other solar systems will encounter our terrestrial transmissions," the study added.
Scientists used the beamwidth of the transmission between the DSN and the interstellar spacecraft to perform a search around the past and future positions of each spacecraft obtained from the JPL Horizons System.
However, not everyone is convinced by the findings. Kaitlin Rasmussen, an astrobiologist at the University of Washington, doubts whether the research will 'amount to anything'.
Los Angeles radio astronomer Jean-Luc Margot at the University of California is also skeptical, adding that the small and infrequent transmissions are unlikely to result in human detection by extraterrestrials, "The likelihood that other civilizations are in this little bubble is very small unless there are millions of civilizations in the Milky Way," Margot said.
