defrogITEM: SETI has set up a massive radio telescope in rural West Virginia that has begun listening for signs of alien life on 86 possible Earth-like planets.
The 86 were selected from a list of 1,235 possible planets identified by NASA's Kepler space telescope, which is handy because now that the ATA is inactive due to lack of funding, they’ve just got the one Green Bank telescope for now, so it pays to narrow the field from The Known Universe to 86 planets.
Hurrah!
To celebrate, enjoy this compilation of Doctor Who aliens set to the wonderful song “There’s No Such Thing As Aliens” by Sparks.
Keep the faith,
This is dF
