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.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br><span style="font-size: 13px;"></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br><span style="font-size: 13px;">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.</span></div><div> <br><a href="http://spacewatchtower.blogspot.com/2013/06/new-et-search-method-planetary-heat.html">http://spacewatchtower.blogspot.com/2013/06/new-et-search-method-planetary-heat.html</a><br><br></div><div>gaw<br><br></div><div>Glenn A.
