Astronomers estimate that fewer than one in a MILLION stars in the galaxy are circled by planets that could have technologically advanced civilizations on them | Mail Online: "Fewer than one in a million stars in our galaxy are orbited by planets with civilizations advanced enough to be able to transmit detectable radio signals, a team of scientists at the University of California at Berkeley have discovered.

Based on the lack of radio transmissions picked up during a new study, researchers project that intelligent life on other planets could be rare

The researchers used the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia to search for radio signals from intelligent life forms on Earth-like planets circling 86 stars in the Milky Way."
