Send a message to 47 Ursae Majoris:
http://www.cosmicconnexion.com/static/index.html Apparently this exercise in Active SETI (ASETI) is the "celebration" part of the COROT astronomy satellite mission to find extrasolar planets, including Earth-size (Telluric) ones. COROT is set for launch in June of 2006. http://smsc.cnes.fr/COROT/ http://www.esa.int/science/corot http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/planets/corot.html Not that we should refine our ETI searches just to planets (some would argue we will have better chances aiming our telescopes at regions which show up in the infrared but not the optical), but 47 UM does have at least two Jupiter-class worlds orbiting at fairly large distances from their star (unlike all those other exogiants that practically skim the photospheres), allowing at least the possibility of an Earth-size world in the habitable zones. See here: http://www.solstation.com/stars2/47uma.htm Will the messages being sent out by CNES "survive" the 46 light year journey to 47 UM? Will they even be comprehensible to anyone there? Will it at least let any ETI present know they are not alone and motivate them to respond? Is it wiser to keep our mouths shut and let someone else contact us first? Or do we gain nothing by hiding under our beds - except dust? -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

I'm all for listening for space signals but I'm not sure we should be pro-active giving away our position PS what kind of a childish dork wrote this message ' Killallhumans ' http://www.cosmicconnexion.com/visu.php?la...age=564&debut=0 'Le human-race is a parasite' Thank you Mr.French Person for sending such a warm message to the stars |
