Giant telescope to listen for ‘advanced civilisations’

A giant telescope that could eavesdrop on the activity of advanced extraterrestrial life is hoped to become a reality within five years, scientists said.

The group plan to raise £1m to build a 100m-long (328ft) telescope that will listen out for activities in space like "asteroid mining" and "spacecraft propulsion systems".

A possible site in Cornwall has been identified for the device.
