seti@home moves on

For nearly four years, the SETI@home receiver atop the giant Arecibo radio telescope has been surveying the skies in search of an alien signal. For nearly four years, millions around the world have been processing the raw data from Arecibo on their personal computers in search of unique patterns that might represent an intelligent transmission. No less than 5 billion(!) different candidate signals have now accumulated at SETI@home headquarters in Berkeley. Each of these just might be that one true signal from an alien civilization.

And now, for the first time, SETI@home scientists will put this mountain of data to a test. For eight hours each day, on March 18th through the 20th, SETI@home scientists will have the full use of the Arecibo radio telescope, the largest in the world. They will use it to target between 100 and 200 locations in the sky. >from *Planetary Society's SETI@home Takes New Step in Search for ET: Stellar Countdown Will Revisit Most Promising Signals*. march 10, 2003
