sure ... we already have the technologies certainly.

We additionally, at present, have telescopes able to taking photographs the finished spectrum of sunshine from our very own neighboring planets to boot as distant which permits us to exactly degree the climate and chemical makeup of those worlds. it quite is basically a rely of time in the previous we are able to image yet another systems planets in the present day (nevertheless distant planets do not shine, so we desire greater effective telescopes). So ... the quest is on top now.
