Yeah, but then what's the likelihood of aiming directly at us? Even a fraction of a degree off and we won't see it.

- hotpotamus 5y agoIf you have a decent understanding of the planets in a system you could potentially time your observations to when planets are in alignments that would beam lasers / radio waves your way. It's possible that you could pick up directed in-system communications that are overshooting their destinations rather than broadcasts intended for potential interstellar neighbors.
