Proxima Centauri
Astronomers recorded radio waves from Proxima Centauri at 980 megahertz, located 4.2 light years from the Sun.
Proxima Centauri is located 4.2 light years from the Sun, which is widely accepted astronomical data. However, no credible evidence confirms the recording of a 980 megahertz radio wave from Proxima Centauri. Available sources discuss radio wave frequencies in general, but there's no specific reference to Proxima Centauri emitting 980 megahertz waves. As such, the claim lacks supporting evidence and remains unverified.
