World’s Biggest Alien Search Enters Final Stage With 100 Mystery Signals
SETI scientists are using China’s FAST radio telescope to examine the final 100 unexplained signals from the historic SETI@home project. While experts expect most to be radio interference, the search marks the culmination of a massive global citizen science effort and sets new standards for future hunts for extraterrestrial intelligence.
China's FAST radio telescope, the world's largest, has entered the final stages of its study of the 100 most promising radio signals selected by the renowned SETI@home project. Launched in 1999, this initiative united millions of volunteers across the globe who contributed their home computer processing power to process the colossal datasets collected by the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The SETI@home project has officially concluded its a…
For two decades the SETI project collected billions of radio signals, hoping to identify if any of them had been created by an alien civilization. Now, astronomers will use the Chinese FAST telescope to check if 100 radio signals captured by this project have an extraterrestrial origin. The SETI project used Arecibo’s radio telescope in Puerto Rico to collect radio signals from deep space. The FAST telescope will review 100 radio signals that we…
There was a time when a home computer could become, without making noise, part of a global astronomical experiment. SETI@home worked like this: you installed a program, you let it work in the background and your PC joined a network of volunteers that analyzed radio telescope data in search of rare patterns. The promise was as simple as irresistible: to help track signs of intelligent life off Earth without leaving home. The heart of the project …
It has been 21 years since Berkeley researchers launched SETI@Home (Setti at home) in 1999 an initiative as ingenious as it is interesting for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence using the computing power distributed in the homes of millions of volunteers. Although it no longer works since 2020, an article published on the university’s website reviews that story and its current state. Let’s remember how SETI@Home worked: Berkeley create…
