It actually can and is used to detect extrasolar planets, mostly through watching their transits, where they move in front of the star and block some of its light.

Why cant you see extrasolar planets directly?

Mainly because of the vast distances to these objects, and their relatively small size. Although our best telescopes can see structures like galaxies in very fine detail, observing a planet-sized object even within our own galaxy is extremely difficult.

Why cant scientists answer is there life beyond earth?

We now know that there are probably billions of planets orbiting other stars in our galaxy. So far we have managed to detect about 2,000 of them. Because these planets are so far away it is very difficult to glean any information about them, so at this point it is impossible to tell if one of these planets has life. Even if none of the ones found so far have life, there are still many more that we have not yet discovered.


Are planetary systems around stars extremely rare?

No, although it is difficult to spot exoplanets, so only the larger ones are often found. Most systems with identified planets most likely have many other smaller planets that we cant detect. A planet the size of Earth or Mercury is nearly impossible to detect with current technology.
