Hurray for Giorgio! Maybe the aliens want to meet him! (For hair tips)

Or they could be fans of Star Trek and Futureama?

Well they could be fans of I Love Lucy.. Right now transmissions from shows from the 50's should be reaching our nearest neighbors..

As long as they don't try turning Jupiter into a second sun.

Considering the inverse square law I doubt anyone out there is enjoying I Love Lucy.

The smallest known star right now is OGLE-TR-122b, a red dwarf star that's part of a binary stellar system. This red dwarf the smallest star to ever have its radius accurately measured; 0.12 solar radii. This works out to be 167,000 km. That's only 20% larger than Jupiter.

OGLE-TR-122b must be denser then Jupiter.

My reference was to the movie 2010, the sequel to the movie 2001, a Space Odyssey.  At the end, Jupiter is turned into a small sun to warm Europa, which the aliens responsible for the black monolith have seeded with new life.

Back when I was in college, one theory about Jupiter was it was a failed sun. Now with all the new information about Jupiter, including "hot Jupiter" planets and their migrations, anything could be possible.

Has anyone seen the Martian landing statue in Grover's Mill?

I think calling Jupiter a failed sun is a little unfair.  It's an astronomical body that almost got big enough to ignite, but didn't.  Could probably blame that on Saturn or Neptune, or Uranus.  No doubt if you added one of the other gas giants to Jupiter it would ignite or at least start smoldering.

"Ogle"?  They named a star "Ogle"?

(Yes, I know "OGLE" is probably an acronym of something, but still... Ogle?)

That's a leap. That would mean they would need a high tech piece of equipment like a Dumont to receive the transmissions....



....that's highly improbable.

Huh, WalMart has a pretty good Sceptre 40" LED 1080p HDTV for $189.99... price hasn't changed much but the capabilities have gone up...

But then you have to take inflation into account as well.  When you do that, the bargain is even better.

It can be blamed on Uranus. It did not wipe........

When I was young I had the Star Trek view of intergalactic kumbeyah. As I've gotten older my view has changes that  if an alien species is anything like the human one they will be on a mission of conquest..
