Two space telescopes focused on each other...
(This is reminiscent of what happens in my story "The Princess of Many Worlds", dedicated to James Webb, from the collection "Ala-Too Awakening").
Such discovery excited and worried many experts and astronauts.
If the James Webb telescope was able to discern the glowing signs of large cities on the surface of a planet located at a distance of 4.2 light years from us, what can we say about the ability of a civilization on Proxima B, which, apparently, has a cosmic eye thousands and even millions times more powerful than our most powerful telescope?
After all, the James Webb telescope harvests cosmic light by the golden mirror with the size of a tennis court, while the Proxima B's telescope - does it by the giant bowl with the staggering 200 kilometers in diameter(!)
In fact, Proxima B astronomers have not only been looking at us through their telescopes for a long time, and know everything about our planet, but are also most likely able to see every inhabitant of the Earth when he sits by the window in the evening and admires by starry sky.
But the inhabitants of Proxima B are far from the most advanced in space. They are simply our closest neighbors.
And in deep space there are more advanced civilizations that not only see right through us, but also know us much more than we do.
Thus, the night sky is full with the thousands the most keen eyes, from which impossible to hide.
Our Earth and the life of each of its inhabitants are literally illuminated through by the all-seeing, omniscient eyes of space.
