Hello Gang, Yesterday I received word via the Sagan e-mail forum (reprinted below) I belong to that there was an unconfirmed report in the French press (http://spacenews.geoman.net/flash.html) that an Artificial Extraterrestrial Radio Signal was detected by Australia's Parkes Radio Observatory.

I don't know if they explained what they wanted to do or if they ask for any authorization. If the "joke" had staid on the context of the festival and for the people listening to this small radio, it could have been a good thing. They are building a scenario of "after contact", with interview of a UN respresentative, of unknown scientists or the (unknown) official "Parkes" speaker. I wonder why an other web site (geoman) relayed the info. But I saw on the fr.sci.astronomie forum that the site will close soon. It seems just a way of having visitors (and money) for a "dead" enterprise. It's not the first time extraterrestrials are used to promote a magazine, a radio, etc... You can say I'm paranoïc but I wonder if this couldn't be just another attack against SETI of our "famous" sociologist Pierre Lagrange (specialist of Roswell and Keneth Arnold). Why? He participates in the festival in a conference about "who will be extraterrestrial spokesman. He likes April fools (he wrote an article about the moon being an artificial ET artefact in two magazines last year). He really knows SETI and protocoles but refuse all that seems scientific or technical (The last article of him that I read was in the newspaper Liberation. It was a critic of SETI and of all the sciences that the general public can't understand. I wonder how someone could write things like "nobody has seen a scientific fact with his eyes"). There is absolutely no technical data about Parkes and the "famous" signal in the RSR website. Even the worst sci-fi novels are more precise! They present a drawing of a lake near Geneva has beeing "the message" but there's nothing else... On the other side, Pierre Lagrange is a sociologist. So why would he encourage such a thing? It seems very stupid not to have taken into account the fact that the news will spread on the internet and that very few people will understand the context or listen to the broadcast about SETI protocoles. He knows what a rumour is and how it works.

[The text of his presentation, with calculations, will appear in June as a Letter to the Editor in Journal AAVSO, Vol. 29, No. 2.] High-precision (CCD or photoelectric photometry) transit observations could improve our information about the radii, mass, density, and orbital elements of both Gliese 876 and its planets and about the limb darkening of the star. The first window of opportunity to look for these transits is May 16 - 27, 2001. Gliese 876 = IL Aqr is a red dwarf star (RA = 22h 53m 20s, Decl. = -14deg 13.2min (2000), M4V, range 10.15-10.19 V, (B-V)=1.58, (R-I)=1.22), possible periods = 20.2 and 28.7 days). Geoffrey Marcy, University of California at Berkeley, and his colleagues (Marcy et al. 1998; Cowen 2001) found two giant planets orbiting Gliese 876: Gliese 876b and Gliese 876c. Using the information in these references and in Delfosse et al. (1998), MacRobert (2001), Burrows et al. (1997), Sterne (1960), and West (1996), West calculated approximate dates and times of predicted transits of Gliese 876 by its planets; they are given in the table below. Uncertainties in the orbital elements make the times uncertain by several days, so Gliese 876 should be monitored for transits during "opportunity windows" lasting ten days or longer. These windows will occur on the same days of the calendar year for many years. Gliese 876 rises at sidereal time 17:42 and sets at 4:04 for an observer at 40 N latitude. Thus, morning observations are feasible from late May to September and evening observations September to late January. For Gliese 876b a transit may last as long as 3.53 hours and have an amplitude as much as 0.20 magnitude. For Gliese 876c a transit could last as long as 2.2 hours. If the planets simultaneously transit, Gliese 876 could be dimmed by as much as 0.45 magnitude.

What? Is Gonzales STILL only an Assistant Professor, four years after he first proposed this theory? One wonders if perhaps his research is stifling, rather than enhancing, his academic career. If Guiellrmo is correct (and I'm not sure he is; see my editorial response to him at ), then our star is among the one in a million capable of supporting complex life. Which means, given the 400 thousand million stars in our Galaxy, we may have ONLY 400 thousand neighboring civilizations! -------------------------------- H.

I especially like the line: "I believe both simple life and complex life are very rare, but complex life, like us, is probably unique in the observable Universe." Yow! In the whole "OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE??" Even way out there in the Great Wall of Galaxies? I guess the property value of my house just shot waaaaaay up!

(1989 ML -- the target for Japan's MUSES-C sample return mission -- seems to have "a neutral spectrum that may be interpreted as a shock-darkened ordinary chondrite.") (4) A June piece by Charles Lineweaver, in which he sets forth an ingenious (and, to me, rather convincing-sounding) argument that "3/4 of the Earth-like planets in the Universe are older than the Earth, and that their average age is 0.9 to 2.7 billion years older than the Earth." == You are subscribed to the Europa Icepick mailing list: europa@klx.com Project information and list (un)subscribe info: http://klx.com/europa/
