    It rather depends upon whether the alien is a scumbag refugee or a billionaire.

    Is it coincidence that tin foil disappeared shortly after it was discovered that tin foil hats prevented space aliens from reading your mind?

    I think not.

  3. To be clear, I’d love to find evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence someday. It’s just not high on my list of things we need to spend trillions of dollars on, y’know? 🛸 👽️ 😱 #UFO #ETI #SpaceAliens theguardian.com/world/2024/jan

    My semi-related question is, even if they #Math, why do we think #SpaceAliens would have mathematicians on their spacecraft? I know we send all kinda #Astronauts into space, but do we put a #Mathematician on every mission?

    The Webb Telescope has discovered water on a planet 1120 lightyears away!

    WASP-96b is a gas giant exoplanet that revolves around a star that is about 1120 lightyears away in the Phoenix constellation. The planet was discovered in 2013 using transit photometry, but the precise measurements of the spectra used to verify water and clouds on the planet could only be done by Webb.

    Because it’s a gas giant and it is orbiting its star very quickly (3.4 days per revolution) it probably can’t support life as we know it, but this demonstrates what Webb can do to help find habitable planets.
