SETI@home is a scientific experiment that harnesses the power of hundreds of thousands of Internetconnected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. There’s a small but captivating possibility that your computer will detect the faint murmur of a civilization beyond Earth.
Contributors/Collaborators to SETI@home include: David Gedye, Dan Werthimer, Jeff Cobb and Eric Korpela.
