Tourist board in Lexington beamed a message to outer space hoping to invite extra-terrestrial tourists to the Bluegrass state
VisitLEX, scientists and scholars in Kentucky are trying to attract new visitors — extraterrestrial ones — by beaming a message using an infrared laser to Earth-sized planets orbiting the TRAPPIST-1 star 40 light years away.
VisitLex, a tourism board in Kentucky, is hoping aliens will visit after it beamed a signal at a neighbouring solar system, Trappist-1.
VisitLEX believes Kentucky is the best place on Earth and the perfect spot for visitors from other worlds to park their spacecraft for a vacay. With the help of scientists and linquistic experts, they sent this message through space to hopefully reach other inhabited planets.
Hey, E.T.: Forget home. Come to Lexington!
