AI could detect alien civilizations by spotting patterns on Mars and Moon

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper proposes searching for artificial patterns on the surfaces of celestial bodies like the Moon and Mars as a method for detecting extraterrestrial intelligence. The study suggests that on geologically inactive worlds, such patterns could persist for millions of years. The researchers highlight the utility of high-resolution imaging from instruments like the HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, combined with machine learning anomaly detection, to identify these potential technosignatures.

    Solar System Surface Technosignatures: Searching for Signs of Artificial Design on Extraterrestrial Terrain

    arXiv:2610.28687v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial radio emissions have historically been a major focus of technosignature searches. Here, we apply an anthropological lens to expand this scope to surface technosignatures: non-random, intentional patterning on planetary …
