So where do #aliens come into this? The Search for #ExtraterrestrialIntelligence, or #SETI, is a two player game involving us and them. Whoever they are.

We are basically playing an #interstellar version of the strangers meeting in #NewYork. But the incentive in this case isn't a suitcase full of money. It's the opportunity to establish contact.

Both parties must want to do so of course. But it'd be amazing if intelligent life is common yet we're the only ones wanting to say hello (5/n)

Great to see interest in my thread yesterday on #exoplanet detection using #microlensing.

I promised threads on 2 other topics: detecting exoplanet #atmospheres using #TransmissionSpectroscopy, and also on #SETI - the Search for #ExtraterrestrialIntelligence.

I'll leave the thread on exoplanet atmospheres to next month to chime (hopefully) with some new work we're doing here at the #UniversityOfManchester.

So, later this week, we'll talk about hunting for #aliens! 👽
