How can you be able to sense emotions from sometimes light-years away? I often see her sensing others emotions from ships light years away and I just realized it and ik curious what the range of it is? (Silly or cannon response of course).

    When Lwaxana scanned the bar in DS9 s01e17 The Forsaken to figure out who stole her broach, she has to look at each person in the room to read them. Perhaps the range for Betazeds is very high or unlimited, but using it requires them to be aware of the person’s presence, or to specifically focus on them? Or perhaps there’s general vibes, but truly reading someone requires active focus?
