Hi @Rowan Forest, I recently noticed you declared one of my edits as sock puppetry. Not sure why, since I have nothing to do with the sources I provided.

I found out in a video that the Wow! reply wasn't sent 'toward the area of the signal's origin', as it is mentioned in the article. The Wow! signal allegedly came from the Southern hemisphere, but the Wow! reply was sent from the Northern Hemisphere because the Arecibo Observatory (which sent the reply) is located there. That is a completely different location.

I checked that info in another source and it was indeed true. Both sources, despite being a blog and a youtube video, look reliable to me because they belong to academics.

Wow! signal response

Hi Rowan Forest , I recently noticed you declared one of my edits as sock puppetry. Not sure why, since I have nothing to do with the sources I provided. I found out in a video that the Wow! reply wasn't sent 'toward the area of the signal's origin', as it is mentioned in the article. The Wow! signal allegedly came from the Southern hemisphere, but the Wow! reply was sent from the Northern Hemisphere because the Arecibo Observatory (which sent the reply) is located there. That is a completely different location. I checked that info in another source and it was indeed true. Both sources, despite being a blog and a youtube video, look reliable to me because they belong to academics. In any case, I added a 'better source needed'. If any of you find a better one, please update it. Cheers.
