阅读下面短文,回答下列五道题。
在地球之外,究竟有没有外星人两位美国学者撰文说,他们花了5年时间,在北半球天空捕捉到了37个可能是来自地球外文明的讯号。
这两位学者是利用直径为26米的射电望远镜,来寻找由浩瀚宇宙深处发出的未知讯号的。他们以波长21厘米和10.5厘米的电波对北半球天空的全部区域分别进行了三次和两次调查。许多从事探索地球外文明的科学家认为,波长为21厘米的电波在宇宙空间中极为普通,如果地球外文明要向其他星体发出讯号,就很有可能会使用这个波长。
在探测时,他们试图寻找从极狭窄区域中释放出的强大电波。每次探测的时间约需 200~400天,所以获得的观察资料十分庞大。经过筛选,才获得了这37个讯号,其中有5个讯号特别强烈。这些讯号大多数是沿着银河系分布的,在银河系内有着大量的恒星,是智慧生命可能存在的地方。然而,至今还未发现具有已接收讯号特征的电波源,且在这些电波的方向上,也没有特异的星体存在。这37个讯号果真是由外星人发出的吗
科学家认为,如果在这37个讯号当中包括地球外文明的讯息,那么这就可能是由地球外文明发出的最强或最近的讯号。
