Laser SETI
SETI (Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence)
The best way to find laser flashes from an alien civilization is to look everywhere, all the time, and a new project aims to do just that.
The SETI Institute, in Mountain View, California, has created a system which it calls "Laser SETI" which consists of eight cameras constantly observing the universe.
"The universe we call home is vast! It's also nearly 14 billion years old, so it's very difficult to imagine that we are alone.
Yet extraterrestrial life still eludes our efforts to find it. Now we have a chance to be a part of the technology that can change that forever." —said SETI Institute President and CEO Bill Diamond.
"Laser SETI is the first experiment to circumvent this assumption —Diamond adds—, because it's designed to find a very short ping that doesn't stay on all the time: it can detect a laser flash as short as a microsecond, and one that might not repeat for days, weeks, or even longer."
Watching All the Sky All the Time!
