| : Depends on how far the aliens decide to put the mirror. Light gets weaker with distance, which is the same reason that distant stars (many of which are brighter than our sun) don't overwhelm us with light. Also...what if the sun is merely a reflection of something?

− | A German (satirical) newspaper page had an article once, how NASA discovered a habitable planet zero light years away from Earth after they rotated the Hubble space telescope [http://www.der-postillon.com/2012/02/nasa-entdeckt-bewohnbaren-planeten-in.html]. --[[User:Chtz|Chtz]] ([[User talk:Chtz|talk]]) 22:18, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

− | Exoplanet detection techniques like Doppler spetroscopy have to make corrections for the motion of the Earth. Omitting such corrections will result in the "discovery" of a planet which is actually the Earth... [[User:Sabik|Sabik]] ([[User talk:Sabik|talk]]) 04:31, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

− | The explain for the title text is still incorrect. The telescope looking at US is not the mirror messing the astronomer! --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 18:45, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

− | *Don't bother with a mirror out in space. Take a television and put it across the end of the telescope and feed it from a camera on the moon that is pointed at the Earth. Are any of the cameras left by Apollo still working? [[User:Nutster|Nutster]] ([[User talk:Nutster|talk]]) 13:06, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

− | There may as well not be intelligent life on the surface of that planet, considering that the astronomer is THAT gullible. [[User:SilverTheTerribleMathematician|SilverTheTerribleMathematician]] ([[User talk:SilverTheTerribleMathematician|talk]]) 03:53, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
