L55-3: From theearth: Greetings

A telescope wouldhave to be as far away as the planet Jupiter to look for life in outer space,because the dust becomes thinner the further we travel towards the outer edgesof our own solar system.

Once we detected aplanet, we would have to find a way of blotting out the light from its star, sothat we would be able to ‘see’ the planet properly and analyse its atmosphere.

In the firstinstance, we would be looking for plant life, rather than 'little green men'.The life forms most likely to develop on a planet would be bacteria. It isbacteria that have generated the oxygen we breathe on earth. For most of theearth's history they have been the only form of life on our planet. AsEarth-dwellers, we always cherish the hope that we will be visited by littlegreen men and that we will be able to communicate with them. But this hope isalways in the realms of science fiction. If we were able to discover lowlyforms of life like bacteria on another planet, it would completely change ourview of ourselves. As Daniel Goldin of NASA observed, 'Finding life elsewherewould change everything. No human endeavour or thought would be unchanged byit.'
