New ET Search Method: Planetary Heat Signatures


Until recently, one of the ultimate mysteries of the universe -- how many 
civilizations may exist on planets orbiting other stars in the Milky Way Galaxy -- relied on the possibility of detecting intelligent beings by 
radio signals. Now a team of astronomers, engineers, and physicists from the University of Hawaii, the University of Freiburg, and elsewhere has proposed a new and powerful technique to search for intelligent life.


Rather than looking for radio waves, the team suggests searching for the heat 
signatures of nearby planets, which requires a giant telescope that 
could detect infrared radiation directly from an exoplanet, thus 
revealing the presence of a civilization.
