Reilly Derrick, who is a first-year Aerospace Engineering undergraduate in UCLA's Samueli School of Engineering, said this recent study was inspired by aexamining what stars outside our Solar System four of the five spacecraft will pass within the next few million years.

"Our results include 5 total stars for which we could expect returned transmissions within the 21st century, and 7 total stars for which we could expect returned transmissions within the next 100 years," Derrick tells"Although this is obviously a very small number compared to all the stars in the surrounding Universe, the fact that there is even a small chance intelligent life surrounding these stars could recognize human transmissions and communicate back to us within our...
