Scientists look for alien technology from the TRAPPIST planets

Quick Summary:

Since its discovery eight years ago, the TRAPPIST-1 star system has excited astronomers because of its potential for supporting life.

Around this cool red dwarf are seven rocky, Earth-sized exoplanets, some of which are at the right distance to possibly have air and water.

The researchers' premise was that radio signals sent between those two planets could "leak" and become detectable here.
