What are alien "Keplers" seeing?

TB — 6/7/2009 4:32:31 AM (archived)

It occurred to me while looking for the Space Station the other night that all the possible civlizations that would be able to spot our planet trotting across the Sun's face would, of course, be in the ecliptic.

Is this where SETI is listening for signals?
