SPACE — Scientists and artists beamed a message to the GJ 273 system last month to see if any aliens are listening. The message will only take about a dozen years to arrive. <br /> <br />GJ 273 is a red dwarf also called Luyten's star and is a nearby 12.36 light-years from our own Mother Earth. <br /> <br />Luyten's star hosts two known planets, one of which, GJ 273b, might be able to support life, according to Space.com. <br /> <br />The radio signal included music and math lessons from us to them and was designed for aliens to respond. <br />Some critics like Stephen Hawking worry that actively trying to contact E.T. could alert advanced hostile or resource-seeking aliens, which could have dire consequences for our planet. <br />Don't worry, we'll destroy ourselves first before any dirty alien will get a chance too. <br />But on the bright side, if in 25 years we hear an actual response, wouldn't that be something.
