Ever get that funny feeling that you’re being watched? Perhaps you are, and not just by traffic-stop cameras.
Scientists now declare that there are “about 1,000 star systems” from which aliens can glean our existence. Although reruns of “I Love Lucy” might not be showing on their radar yet, “chemical traces of Earthly life” could very well be.
Atmospheric gases associated with life, such as oxygen and methane, can be detected with precision instruments that are akin to our own James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). And who knows? Alien civilizations may have developed far more powerful tools, ones that are watching your jaw drop as you read these words.
