Well... nothing? These kinds of news pop up from time to time, but that's the end of it. It's ridiculously far away, and there is little we can do, at least within any foreseeable time frame.

We won't be visiting any time soon. But news of (likely) life would increase funding for telescopes, and eventually we'd get some idea how common life is - which is an interesting little fact in itself.
