They say planet does exist and may provide hope for finding alien life

finding at 22 million light years away could be rather problematic but no matter....THERE’S HOPE!!....

[a fool in paradise]

And they probably have invented some music that’s even worse than dubstep.

Just signals from Hillary’s email server there

[House Atreides]

The “mysterious signals” may be distress calls from the Glieseans after they’ve discovered the existence of Hillary and were overcome with fear that she will find her way to the planet Gliese to plague them.

Signals from the planet were initially discovered in 2010, but last year dismissed as noise from distant stars.

The message was sent to "Your Leader" but he hasn't seen anything about it on TV yet.

[Rebelbase]

Twice the size of earth meaning greater gravity? They’ll kick our arses in the interstellar Olympics.

[Talisker]

"THIS IS CETI ALPHA FIVE!"

[Nowhere Man]

Being an amateur radio operator, I wonder what frequency these signals are. VHF? UHF? SHF? (microwaves)

[blueunicorn6]

I ran the signal through my universal translator. Here it is.

“Muskrat Suzie and Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug down in Muskrat Land”

We’re doomed.

Around once a month, if I put my left ear to the pillow directly, I will hear what sounds just like a TV or radio in another room. Too faint to make out individual words but definitely something there.

Last time, I finally said to myself that I must have left the TV on. I got up and nothing was turned on.

My nearest neighbor is over a quarter mile away so I am pretty sure it is not them. On the other hand, sometimes when I sit on my front porch, I can hear conversations from that nearest neighbor if they are outside. Clear enough that I can sometimes make out the words. There is clearly some kind of sonic reflection from that direction.

It really is a mystery.

[Prospero]

Of course, this is all about subtle rhythms in the light curve magnitude and less than microscopic seconds of degree of arc in apparent and actual position changes, not any "signals" of an artificial nature. These kinds of signals, with perhaps one or two exceptions yet, are supposed to be actual changes in proper motion brought about by the tugs of unseen satellites. Imagine supposing a gas giant like Jupiter from changes in our modest home star's motion through an alien sky. You'd need a telescope even to see the Sun more than 50 light years away. But you might, with patience, actually see the effect of Jupiter on the proper motion of the Sun, but this kind of data, even gathered over a exceeding long period, doesn't provide the granularity to "see" Saturn, which would be a significant part of the "noise" in Jupiter's effect on the Sun's path which then adds to the range of possible sizes and distances of the predicted Jupiter.

It's easier, as those who've been following this study for any length of time, to detect the almost unimaginably massive "rocky" worlds that orbit their stars in three days, rocky airless worlds like Mercury the width of Jupiter's atmosphere and ten times closer to their star.

In short, they're getting better at this game, like a blind man gets better and better learning how to negotiate his way around a familiar neighborhood, still there's an upper limit, distance being a huge factor with Sun-like stars, for an obvious example.

And they still can't be absolutely certain that Proxima Centauri is orbiting Alpha A and B.

[kaehurowing]

They have discovered the Planet Mongo.

[Iscool]

So the signals were sent about a million years ago...

[Kickass Conservative]

They just decoded the Signal.

It said, “don’t Vote for Obama”.
The next signal said, “do you have Hillary’s Email address”?

Too little, too late.

[Jack Hydrazine]

It’s ONLY 22 light years away? No prob!

[Vince Ferrer]

22 light years is not that far. The next generation of space telescopes that are being designed will be able to photograph this planet in some detail, at least being able to see clouds, continents, oceans, etc.

[Bratch]

The Gliese 581d planet has conditions that could support life, and is likely to be a rocky world, twice the size of Earth.

They've released a picture of one of the inhabitants.

"stellar bursts"

Something like electrostatic discharge? Lightning? Wind vortex static?
