Astronomers Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett helped Max Crow design "Jo Alien," an animated character that was exhibited at the National Space Centre in England, to explore the question of what an alien might look like. "It's the poster child of aliens," Shostak told National Geographic.
He described it as "a very conventional kind of alien-grey and smooth and humanoid-very anthropomorphic." But an alien such as Jo, "is not really what we expect," he added. Below, a side view of Jo Alien.
