Today's Webtip: Hello?

Is there anybody out there? Astronomers have found a rather interesting star. SETI is excited.

www.theatlantic.com has an exciting article about distant stars, crowdsourced astronomy, and the ongoing search for intelligent life in the universe.

It seems as though there is a star out there with some highly regular irregularities. Things orbiting it that don't quite fit in with the way things are supposed to work.

And that has the crew from SETI excited. They want to point a radio-telescope at the star and see what they can find.
