So, in the mix of looking at stellar phenomena, a signal was detected. It’s still needs to be analyzed, but in terms of passing filters of rule outs, it’s being heralded as the best candidate for potential evidence for extraterrestrial intelligence in 40 years. It’s better than the ‘Wow’ signal. And, it’s right next door. Four light years away- that’s actually within our reach with probes. If we really wanted to test our ingenuity and put our humanity on the line, putting politics and nationalism aside- we could reach Proxima Centauri, and have intel within even my life time.
