Hi all,

If you've not seen it, this makes for an interesting read:

As this seem to be including the SETI@home project, I wonder if we will get some new data to crunch from the 2 radio telescopes mentioned: Parkes (Aus) and Green Bank (US):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Bank_Telescope

Both of these have moveable dishes and hence can scan far more of the sky than the fixed 'scope at Arecibo.

Hi all,

There some more details here:

As they say in the article, this could really be the sort of "push" that the SETI search has needed for a long time...

Hi all,

I'll say one thing about this announcement - it seems to have generated a lot of interest, with a knock-on effect that quite a lot of new members have joined our SETI@home team.

A very warm welcome to you all...
