Astronomers behind the most extensive search yet for alien life are investigating an intriguing radio wave emission that appears to have come from the direction of Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the sun. Anthony and Jeff start celebrating prematurely. Then, why would anyone teach a rat to drive a car. How? With what? The answers to all of the questions is science. Jeff and Anthony sort it out for you.
