Astronomers hopeful of receiving an alien reply today after beaming message out into space 40 years ago

By Richard Pollina
August 22, 2023

Astronomers are anxiously waiting to see if today will be the day humanity finds out if we have any intelligent neighbors in the cosmos — four decades after sending a message out into the universe.

The message contained 13 drawings depicting the history of life on Earth through the stages of evolution.

It was then transcribed into radio waves and beamed out into space by astronomers at Stanford University on Aug. 15, 1983, with the intention of making contact with intelligent alien life in the future.

Today, scientists in Japan will start scanning the sky for a reply, according to the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun.

Altair — the 12th brightest star in the night sky, found in the Aquila constellation 16.7 light-years away from our pale blue dot — could be the first area of the observable universe to send back a responding message as early as 9 a.m. (EST) today, the outlet reported.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

There was an episode where one of their overlords tried sending a message beacon into space:

"The cargo manifest of 250,000 slaves has been recovered.  Plus six billion more."

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.
