Scientists to send signals to exoplanet to contact aliens
Scientists at Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence (METI) are planning to send radio signals to Proxima Centauri b, Earth's closest exoplanet, by 2018. Scientists are aimed at initiating communication with any potential alien life at the planet and are expecting to raise $1 million annually for running the transmitter. This would be the first effort to send intentional messages into space.
