They're probably just going to talk about how they can detect elements in the atmosphere of exoplanets or some shit. Don't get too excited.

>>8689854
Ayyy lmao

like an actual person from /pol/ to greet the aliens.

Look at the people involved. If it were evidence of extraterrestrial life they'd have more bigshots.

I'd guess its something to do with how we detect exoplanets (e.g. being able to detect smaller ones) given that the technical experts are astronomers and a planetary physicist.

>>8689857
AYY LMAO

>>8689854
A RealDoll.

Send Trump. He either makes the aliens our cucks or dies trying. It's a win-win

>>8689854

Pink haired landwhales doing gender studies.

¿Dónde está el baño, por favor?

Do we even have methods to detect atmospheric composition at interstellar distances?
