If there was a habitable planet in that system with intelligent life, with the same capabilities as us, they wouldn't be able to see any of the planets in our solar system.
- breily 18y agoWhy not? It seems like if we can see them they could see us - unless you just mean our planets are smaller so they'd need a better telescope than we can make?
- gommm 18y agoBecause we do not have any planets as huge as Formalhaut a, b and c in our solar system...
