That's according to a former NASA director!
A telescope in Offaly could be the first to detect signs of alien life, according to a former NASA director.
The iLOFAR Telescope at Birr Castle detects low-frequency radio waves from space, and Professor Pete Worden, former director of Nasa's Ames Research Centre believes it could be the key to communicating with extra-terrestrial intelligence.
Professor Worden will give a sold-out talk at the Dunsink Observatory in Castleknock, Dublin this evening.
Ahead of the talk, Head of the Radio Telescope Project in Birr, Professor Peter Gallagher says there are key notes we should give to aliens when we finally communicate with them:
