How many of the aliens will apply for green cards?

Doesn't sound too workable to me.

On a more serious note, this is, in a word, cool. An artifical eclipse is a unique method of observing planets orbit a distant star.

No such thing as "aliens". Sorry. We are the ONLY sentient life in the universe. Even our lower animals, like Democrats, are smarter than any other life in the universe.

Such so-called "Goldilocks planets" would be close enough to their neighbouring star so as to be not too hot and not too cold to support life.

Make that "life as we know it".

I really do believe our imaging technology will allow us to see and image extrasolar planets as well as we see those in our own solar system within the next couple of decades.

By that time, we are likely to see small objects on Mars with the clarity that our spysats can read license plates.

Thanks WCF!

Dave, Hope you and yours are . . . experiencing more and more of what you most want and need.

I haven't checked this post out. Perhaps it's worth a ping to the list.

LUB,
