Aliens exist?!
Big news for Astronomers and SETI enthusiasts yesterday: A new planet that is probably capable of supporting life was discovered. As pointed out in a recent reddit thread, just a few years ago a possible signal was discovered coming from this solar system. Since 1+1=2, this is the closest thing ever to discovering extra-terrestrial intelligence! I’m psyched!
Here are some excerpts and links to the articles:
[In December 2008] Ragbir Bhathal was scanning the night sky for alien activity, just as he does every night. Except on this December eve Ragbir Bhathal found a strong, regular, repeating signal. […] there stands a strong chance that Ragbir found a message sent by some intelligent, alien race.
