The scientists said that if aliens find Earth

The Terrans have been searching for aliens, but it is possible that aliens are doing the same. The scientific team from Queen's University in Belfast and the max Planck Institute in Germany presented a paper in which he described how an observer from another planet could detect the Earth.

According to scientists, the Earth can be observed by the transit method. Our planet is located close to the star, because it passes through the disk often, which makes it more likely to detect than Jupiter or Saturn, in spite of their huge size and the fact that they block most of the sun.

Of course, our planet can be seen from any point in space. Astronomers have considered several thousand exoplanets known to us and only 68 of them are located so that you can "see" the transit of the Earth. Even fewer (nine) positioned conveniently for observation. Unfortunately, it is ideally located worlds most likely uninhabited.

However, researchers conducted simulations and suggested that in the state monitoring of the Land area should be about 10 more planets, but they have not yet detected. Maybe these have not yet found space objects capable of supporting live (the chances that life will be technically developed, however, small).

The article is about, any planets it is best to look for Land, published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
