If E.T. is still phoning home then the University of Central Lancashire may be the one to answer after plans to install an exciting new and powerful telescope on the Preston Campus were unveiled.
The steerable telescope of 20 metres diameter will be capable of transmitting over 1 megawatt of power. It is possible that with a large antenna at the other end with a sensitive receiver, a sufficiently technologically advanced civilisation could detect Earth’s signal from halfway across the Milky Way galaxy.
“The Arecibo message was aimed at the current location of Messier 13, about 25,000 light years from Earth, but ours will be targeted at planetary systems exhibiting frequently outbursting over-luminous signals, recently identified as most likely to be potentially habitable, by surveys such as the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and the James Webb Space Telescope .
