I really, really want to believe. There are trillions of galaxies in the observable universe, each containing billions of stars. There’s gotta be something out there. We can’t be alone, can we?Wait: Can we have some appropriate music, please?

That’ll work. Where was I?Organisms floating in the acid clouds of Venus. Remains of bacteria in the Martian soil. Creatures swimming in vast oceans below the ice of Europe. Something lurking in the methane lakes of Titan And that’s just the start.Roswell. The “WOW” signal. Fast radio bursts. The possibility of a Dyson sphere around “Tabby’s Star.” Hints of something on the hydrogen line frequency of 1.42405755117 gigahertz. And now both NASA and the U.S. Government have admitted that they don’t know what’s going on with those strange objects that have been buzzing the planet.Our culture has absorbed these mysteries and possibilities–and our music reflects that.
