If you are a fan of Extra Terrestrials, Science Alert has an interesting article on the latest plan to contact the closest Earth-like exoplanet in our Solar system:
Scientists are making preparations to send a transmission to Proxima b – the closest Earth-like exoplanet to our Solar System.
The team is putting together a plan to build or buy a powerful deep-space transmitter, and is now figuring out what our message should be…
The non-profit organisation is planning a series of workshops and a crowdfunding drive to make the scheme a reality – and it’s estimated they’ll need to raise around US$1 million a year to run the transmitter.
By 2018, the team wants to have laser or radio signals beamed out to Proxima b, which orbits Proxima Centauri – the closest star to our Solar System, at around 4.25 light-years away.
