Off topic, but it took me a few minutes to realize the dog in your avatar is wearing a bow tie and not a horrified expression.

@Jasmine19 I like your avatar cat. That was painted by a woman who lives in my state of Colorado. Her artwork is sold in many boutiques around here. She calls her collection RobiniArt. The artist's name is 'Robin'. Her art is very fun and festive. It's mostly animal-themed.

@SilleeMee Good eye. That was a custom painting of my British shorthair done by Robin. It's fun to enlarge our avatars and take a good look at them. They're so tiny.

I love it! The details seem to tell a story. There's weather happening inside the cat's ears and I love how Robin uses little black spiders in her paintings, too. Very unique style. @Jasmine19

Oh! and those fish! How cute.

@SeaMaiden

I found it a very interesting read. It is the first I had heard about Oumuamua.

I couldn’t help wondering how the people of the world would react if we discovered we weren’t alone.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing.

The Science Channel had a series called Are We Alone. It discussed what it might be like to encounter the first alien here. Each episode takes you step by step through the scenario that may occur. Very interesting series.

I heard that one before. It's probably a weirdly shaped asteroid or comet.

Are you kidding? Our own political parties can't even get along.
