Hypothetically what if we encountered a Voyager type project from another civilization within our own system?
I’m wondering if we were to have something similar to our Voyager project enter into our system from a civilization at a comparable technological progression to our own would we be able to tell? Like would the signal it emits be detectable from earth as it passes through our system that our sensors would be able to pick it up with enough warning or would we have to get luck to be monitoring the portion of space in which it came from? If so would we have the technology at this point to retrieve the object or would it be a complete gamble going after it? I know some of this would be dependent on how close it came to earth but I am just curious about the factors if everything aligned right and it came on an ideal path past us in our system? #space
