The signals seem to be coming from a sun-like star known as HD 164595 The star is 95 light years away and may have undiscovered planets in orbit Scientists say signals may simply be the result of a natural phenomenon One possibility is 'microlensing' in which the star's gravity focuses signals coming from farther away
A spike in radio signals coming from the direction of a sun-like star has excited astronomers.
The signals seem to be originating from a sun-like star known as HD 164595 in the constellation Hercules, around 95 light years away.
Scientists suggest they are likely to be the result of a natural phenomenon, such as 'microlensing', in which the star's gravity strengthens and focus signals from elsewhere.
But astronomers have also asked Seti (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) to take a closer look at whether they could be a message from ET.

The result of the impact study was "harmless."
A revised study changed the impact assessment to "mostly harmless."
