Why we won''t find alien solar panels
Scientists from NASA have published the results of a study on the possibility of detecting arrays of solar panels created by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization. The researchers concluded
If aliens harnessed solar power, could we detect them? NASA
NASA researched if future space telescopes could detect the use of widespread solar panels by alien civilizations in our galaxy.
Could We Spot Alien Solar Farms Light-Years Away? NASA
Given their reflective properties, vast arrays of these solar panels would be distinguishable and potentially detectable by advanced observers like NASA, who are tirelessly
How to spot an alien megastructure
This isn''t an act of vandalism, you understand, but rather a precursor to building an enormous solar power plant that surrounds its entire host star. What else would an ambitious alien
Alien Probes Could Already Lurk in Our Solar System, Study Says
The Solar System is huge and mostly unexplored, and the probes could be very small. There could be probes everywhere: in craters on the Moon, or lurkers in the Asteroid Belt and Kuiper
