SETI Institute

Help search for life on another planet by analyzing potential alien signals coming from within our galaxy. SETILive is taking the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) directly to you by presenting radio frequency signals LIVE from the SETI Institute‘s Allen Telescope Array (ATA) while it’s pointed at stars that have the best chances of being home to an alien civilization.

Your participation can directly affect where the telescopes look - if enough people see a potential extraterrestrial (ET) signal in the same data, then within minutes, the ATA will be interrupted and sent back to take a second look. One of the hardest parts of hunting for signals from space is separating what might be an ET signal from the earth-based Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) sources. We think that human eyes, and our amazing brains, should be better than a computer at finding interesting signals in the noise.
