Imagine: ET, sitting at the controls of a giant radio telescope on
an alien world, methodically probing one star, then the next,
listening…listening, because ET thinks that if civilization exists on
her world, it may exist on another—if only she could hear the radio
chatter of that would-be civilization. One star, then another, then
another. All's quiet; no radio leakage from global broadcasts, no
tightly beamed message aimed at the cosmos declaring, "I'm here! Are
you, too?"
ET turns the antenna once more, this time to a small, distant, yellow sun (the one we Earthlings call Sol).
