This is pretty cool stuff. I wonder if the Aliens on this planet have been enjoying our TV broadcasts? So, 40 LYs away they should be watching TV from the late 1960s. :P

I wonder if it sucks as bad as Kevin Costner's version. If it does we should blow the hell out of it before anyone else can see it.

Well, it's 400 F, so it'd probably be a pretty bad day.

That's a pretty significant discovery. As far as we know water is the most significant factor for life, or rather sustaining life.
