Joshua Tree in California—
Host Tom Okey seems a little dizzy as dozens of guests have come to an outdoor theater in this mohawai desert town on a recent Saturday night to learn about Jupiter's icy moon and-or whomever —
Probably live there.
"Guys, we're sending selfies to Europa here tonight," Okey told the people who gathered at the Joshua tree Astronomical Art Theater.
"Take the time to reach out to the universe and say, 'We care about it on Earth.
The public project, sponsored by Southern California desert video astronomers, features a documentary 3D holographic projection, viewed through a telescope, which is considered the first opportunity to send a video selfie to the Moon on Jupiter, NASA scientists have identified this as one of the most likely homes for alien life in our solar system.
Nine-year-old Zelin Leki was one of the first people to take a deep breath and smile, and then spoke to the camera's lens, which was connected to a device, the device converts audio and visual images into laser flashes aimed at the moon --
It takes only 37 minutes to travel at the speed of light. "Hi, Europa! " he said.
"This is Zelin on Earth. I’m turning 10.
"Next is Jean Mueller, 67, a retired telescope operator at the Paloma Observatory, who has discovered more than 30 combos.
"I photographed everything in the sky except you, Europa," she said . ".
"Now, it's good that I speak to you in person.
"The casual tone of these pioneering attempts by okey in internal communication is good, and he does not hesitate to notice that the astronomy club" Europa is still alive!
The smirking factor involved in "events" or "all of this.
"This is okey, 63, who is a retired technical consultant in personal injury litigation cases, and Leonard Holmberg, 62, a retired developer of optics --
Based on the product, who took the selfie-
"An instrument made up of cameras, laptops, fiber optic technology and yellow lasers costs about $400," O'Key said . ".
"We like to think that we bring alien adventures to ordinary people," he said . ".
"Of course, we need the power of the sun to produce a coherent beam that is strong enough to hit Europa," Holmberg said . ".
"But at least some of the photons in the transmission we send have reached their target.
There is no doubt.
Holmberg said the project shows how far technology has improved since charismatic physicist Carl Sagan popularized the possibility of contact with alien life.
Sagan led a team to develop communication materials on Voyager 1 and space probe 2 launched in 1977 for driving
Go ahead and explore space by visiting the planets in the solar system.
The packages include photos of naked men and women and samples of music, including Johnny B from Chuck Berry. Goode.
O'Key and Holmberg consider themselves "saganite", which was recently announced by NASA that Europa and Saturn's satellite, enklatos, have all the ingredients needed for life evolution: the heat is covered by ice with organic matter and a vast ocean.
"What they did was good for me-

"But to be fair, we don't know if aliens are friendly or even if they exist.
If they do, will they be as cute and cute as they are in movie ET.
Or will they be like the Kardashians?
"In that case," he continued, "we should keep a low profile.
You do not want your tombstone to read: I am responsible for the destruction of humanity.
"University of Arizona astronomers, president of Pasadena Jim Bell
The effort of Joshua Tree is "pleasant ".
"It proves that everyone now has the ability to acquire technology that was just a dream ten years ago.
"For decades, scientists have been looking for signs of alien civilization in the sky, mainly based on the premise that they are the same as us, and we may hear or see radio and laser bursts.
The SETI Institute has a range of radio telescopes designed to act as a giant ear capable of scanning millions of stars with more than 10 billion radio frequencies.
It still does not detect any signal generated by others.
The Mars lander, Phoenix, launched on 2007, carries a recorded greeting.
A year later, NASA launched the Beatles Across the Universe to the Polaris. In 2012, a now-
A closed company leased a huge radio telescope in Carmel Valley, California.
And propose to transfer personal information and photos on Earth to various stars for free.
Now, there is an astronomical club led by Oki, and as a boy, he likes to launch a flashlight on the moon of the Earth because he knows it will get there in 1 minute. 2 seconds.
"The only exception we try to communicate with the alien world," he said, "is to try how easy and cheap it is to get. "—
