Getting Excited About Life, Elsewhere

THE NEWS JUST KEEPS GETTING better and better, astronomically. The search for intellignet life. More than ever, we are absolutely convinced that the galaxy is full of life, and intelligent life, like us. The discovery of new planets is like an avalanche now, as our equipment and methods become better and better, finding thousands of planets, and soon, tens of thousands. Its time to get excited. What'll eventually happen is that we the human race will make better and better telescopes, and eventually be able to look right down on top of planets all over the galaxy, and observe the life on them. That's probably what's happening to us right now; we're probably being observed, from a distance. The aliens can probably see through your bathroom walls. Be careful how long you stay naked, if you don't wanna be observed by aliens. We tend to think that aliens will come to this planet, and show themselves to us. But what may happen is that we end up being the ones who reach out to them, and make contact. The latest discovery is that many of these alien planets we have recently discovered have clouds, skies filled with clouds. That's incredibly exciting. Atmospheres, on earth sized earh like planets. How long can it be before we are looking through our telescopes, and through the clouds of other planets, and watching intelligent life function, in all its glory, just like they're doing to us now? (you just know we're being watched). Discovering clouds on planets orbiting other stars is the first step in observing life, intelligent life, elsewhere in the galaxy. And, perhaps, interacting with it, communicating with it. Its time to get excited.
