"Since the 1990s, astronomers have catalogued more than 3,000 exoplanets using a fairly basic detection technique known as the transit method. But what if aliens are using the same technique to spy on us? A team of astronomers is now exploring this very exciting—if not totally terrifying—possibility. The title of the new paper, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, sums up the purpose of the study rather nicely: "Which stars can see Earth as a transiting exoplanet?" Indeed, astronomers on Earth use the transit method to spot exoplanets, so it stands to reason that alien astronomers might be using the same technique to spot us…" Main page link Amicalement Armand |

That really should be no surprise … A lot of space out there and a lot planets. Some must surely have intelligent and technologically advanced life forms. I mean we are trying to find other life in the Galaxy let alone the Universe. Others probably will be doing the same. Based on their tech levels, etc. Of course if somehow they pick up our news feeds/television signals, etc. They most likely are smart enough to maybe do a fly by, but not to get too involved with local floral and fauna … |

If they are intelligent enough to get here they are probably intelligent enough to know that there is very little intelligent life here worth their trouble. |

"Across the immensity of space, minds immesurably superior to our own regarded the Earth with inquisitive eyes; and slowly, but surely, they turned away and rolled their eyes." |
