This article is the stuff dreams are made of, for science aficionados and sci-fi writers alike. One can't help but to let their imagination  run wild when articles like this break. I hope this entices people to stay glued to their SETI feeds, telescopes and cameras. As weird as this world is, It just might be one of the last true hopes we have left. I personally am waiting to see which planet may very well be my home planet (tongue in cheek). I've been saying that I don't belong here for years.

On a serious note, just in the science inspired renderings that follow - It gives a good picture- one that may inspire a whole new group of kids to want to grow up and explore a universe where in my youth naysayers were saying that things like this are not possible - we are out in the vastness of space cold and alone. I hope that we are not. Kudos to Wired magazine for giving my inner child and inner scientist a swift kick in the pants simultaneously. Check out the WIRED article (here).
