An outflow of helium is evidence not just of intelligence, but of enough of a civilization to support children’s birthday parties.

Great! The billionaires are already rubbing their greedy little hands together wondering how they will start to destroy this planet as well. Perhaps the bottled water there and send it back to us.🙄🙄🙄

Why do we always think that other life or planets needs our requirements to live or produce different kind of life? And who determines what life really is? In this vast reality, do we really think we are the ones to determine what life is and isn’t?

Huh, look at all that red. Wonder if its like, an ocean or something. Maybe we can synthesize food from it. Or something. I mean we would have to send someone to check it out first though. Maybe in a cheap submarine?

What’s really neat about this particular planet is that it’s host star is a red dwarf that doesn’t have a lot of solar flare activity, which is rare for red dwarf stars. Since planets around red dwarves are usually very close to their host stars compared to earth, that flare activity usually directly impacts the planets. Because this star is inactive, it might allow for a more stable atmosphere
