L55-2: From theearth: Greetings
Alternatively, ifthe star were small, the life-supporting planet would have to have a closeorbit round it and also provide the perfect conditions for life forms todevelop. But how would we find such a planet? At present, there is no telescopein existence that is capable of detecting the presence of life. The developmentof such a telescope will be one of the great astronomical projects of thetwenty-first century.
It is impossibleto look for life on another planet using earth-based telescopes. Our own warmatmosphere and the heat generated by the telescope would make it impossible todetect objects as small as planets. Even a telescope in orbit round the earth,like the very successful Hubble telescope, would not be suitable because of thedust particles in our solar system.
