This means that the likelihood of there being intelligent life elsewhere could be very substantial, and a radio survey of such plants could become possible, that might lead to the discovery of signals from civilizations using technology similar to our own.

The powerful new Keper satellite space observatory has discovered more than 700 of these planets. Will we be hearing from any of them soon? Probably only if the inhabitants think it’s safe.
