(A very low chance, considering we haven't found any proof of aliens on any planet but our own)

Billions of planets? i doubt it. Stars? sure, you see tens of thousands, or more in the sky through the naked eye. There is probably a 100-1 ratio of stars compared to planets. I'm just guessing though.

Your guess makes no sense whatsoever, and flies in the face of the nebular theory of star formation. Ask any modern astronomer, and they'll give you a figure closer to 5-10 planets per star.

Zoom in how far?
The highest resolution is 1pixel per metre for the moon.

Lol, was gonna say the same thing. Do not understand how he came to that conclusion.

Zoom in far enough to see anything on the planets surface. As for the other part, i don't know anything about space, that's why i said i'm just guessing. I figured life is pretty rare so there would not be that many planets.

Anything on the surface? You mean like a building or something? Or an animal?
Well, you'd need to get at LEAST one pixel per metre.
So we can get one pixel per metre on the moon. That is 384,401.47km away from Earth
If you wanted to view this planet which is 600 light years away....

I guess.... 384,401.47 x 5.67631704x10^15 = the amount of km per pixel

So to get that resolution down to one metre per pixel, you'd need a lense like the size of Earth.

Or an interferometer composed of several strategically placed satellites.

He asked what size lense you would need.
