CHINA'S LARGE RADIO TELESCOPE DETECTS SIGNS OF ALIEN CIVILIZATION: China's giant Sky Eye telescope may have picked up signs of extraterrestrial life, according to a report from its state-backed Science and Technology Daily. The Sky Eye radio telescope, located in China's southwestern Guizhou province, picked up narrow-band electromagnetic signals from an array of unspecified exoplanets between 2020 and 2022. Chief scientist Shang Tonjie, head of a joint team of astronomers and scientists from Beijing University and the University of California Berkeley, said the signals do not appear to be naturally occurring.

I guess many countries beam out signals to the universe hoping for contact. My concern is if we make contact and aliens have the technology to travel here quickley, they may find that humans are delicious, and our planet suits them well, as an outpost to their own civilization.

The orbiting Tesla has its radio on.

Is anybody out there?!

I am sure it's nothing to worry about.

Maybe it's a distress signal from James T. Kirk.

Very interesting, says that they detected it from 2020-2022. I wonder if it was continuous or intermittent signals. I enjoy hearing about things like this but still doesn't change my beliefs at heart. I'm not smart enough to really really understand astronomy and such but thoroughly enjoy looking at stars through the telescope.

BTW, expert tip here: if you have a pickup and a girlfriend, ask her to go "star gazing", LOL. Never know where it may lead.Worked for me in the past, even got her to marry me.

Would that have been by shotgun wedding? Just curious!

There's a way to deal with that.

@kmk1012 something to gauge the magnitude of just our galaxy

On the magnitude of Space

The media is alive with stories of a newfound exoplanet — a super-Earth named GJ 357 d. GJ 357 d is 31 light years away from us.

Those are crazy big numbers!

One way to think about it is if you held up a drinking straw to the night sky and could see everything in the known universe the area inside the straw would hold 10,000 galaxies. Our own galaxie has 400 billion suns. So if we use our galaxie as an average that's about 4,000,000,000,000,000 suns (and potential solar systems) inside the straw.

This is why we keep straws away from turtles.

I would bet against it if it's from exoplanets. If it were from another solar system, or another galaxy, maybe. But if it's just from exoplanets, then I'd say it's too freaking cold out there. But, that's speaking anthropomorphically, so...

It's a rather chilling thought.
