So you have this fancy telescope that produces artists interpretations.

A good article. Informative.

In all such articles, the word “life” should always be appended with the words “as we know it”. We are (and should be) looking for the kind of artifacts and by-products we ourselves produce on our planet. But it’s naive to assume that the universe will not produce lifeforms radically different from us, which might produce evidence of their existence that we aren’t capable of recognizing.

ALIENS, blah, blah, blah...

Misleading title.
“In the new few months, Webb is set to turn its mirrors toward TRAPPIST-1e ...”

This could be bad. Many muslims believe if you take their picture, you are stealing their soul and will kill you, should they have the opportunity.

What if Trappisters believe the same and see Webb taking their picture? Interstellar war risk! Stop before its too late!!

I mean it’s good and stuff but “TRAPPIST-1e is a rocky exoplanet in the habitable zone of a star 39 light-years from Earth” which means to get to it you’d have to travel at the speed of light for a year, 39 times.

Isn’t that about right? So, that part, I find, kind of depressing. It’s pretty much out of reach.

This posting explains why the odds of life anywhere else are very small.

Who really thinks any of us will ever willingly leave the uniquely “habitable” Earth-Luna neighborhood?

The rest of the universe is like a cosmic ray-powered microwave. Have fun getting cooked.

They may have pick up something already.

I hear he singing is quite good on the planet Trappist.

As soon as scientists invent Quantum Space Travel, you will be able to go there in the blink of an eye...................

Be very careful what you look for...You might just find it....

So if you run at warp 7 it really won’t take too long to get there.
