COOL Seti@home ist weiter am suchen. ich hab doch immer gesagt: bald finden wir die ausserirrdischen
We’d like to invite you to reconnect with SETI@home.
These are exciting times for SETI@home. We recently installed a new
SETI@home data recorder at the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto
Rico. This recorder is attached to a state-of-the-art multibeam
receiver, so we can now measure signals from 7 positions on the sky
at once, with greater sensitivity to weak signals compared to the
data from the flat feed antenna we’ve used since 1999. Coupled with
a new application, SETI@home Enhanced, we’ve greatly increased the
sensitivity of our data analysis, and the likelihood that we’ll find
the first signs of extraterrestrial life. We’re also testing a second
application, Astropulse, which will look for extremely short pulses
of astronomical (and possibly intelligent) origin.

With these new developments comes an increase in required computing power,
for which we depend on people like you.
