NotAlien7 Posted June 23, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I remember reading about two scientists who were trying to develop a way to search for man made light in space. That was about two years ago and i haven't heard or seen anything about it since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
