That'd be at least 19 Oolite hyperspace jumps away. Not bad scanning for a low TL planet like Earth..
Long ranger scanners, anyone?

Looks like a good class, Thargoid. I especially liked the bit where he got the students to "be a computer". I never played with the Beeb machines. First computer I ever got to play with was when my school got a TRS80 in 1977. I was one of the very first to sign up for the no-credit after-school class to learn to program it.
Before that, I'd built some crude machines. Relays, light bulbs, switches, one used a telephone dial to provide the pulses to cycle it and a coffee-can with some paint on an old record turntable as a "memory drum". LOL More a primitive data storage and look-up device than an actual computer.
The first computer I owned, though, came later. A Tandy HX-1000. Not a great machine, but it could manage GW BASIC.
