Earthly transmissions have shown: to catch an alien signal, you need to look where planets line up.

Earth’s antennas beam signals along a single plane—where the planets are. If aliens eavesdrop at the right moment, the chance of catching us skyrockets by 400,000 times. So we should search for them there too, during planetary transits.

🎯 Earth’s most powerful radio noise isn’t messages for aliens, but asteroid radar and commands to probes like the Voyagers.
