As someone who helped take the observations as an undergraduate at Wesleyan, it's pretty exciting to see that small telescopes can still have a place in modern astronomy.

I imagine it won't take long to find the drive, since it will need to be larger than the disk. Who would have known that aliens used sneaker net.
