SETI SETI-program.
seti seti is not just a plan for all to search for extraterrestrial civilizations in all programs collectively, previously mentioned ozma project is one of a great historical significance. .seti SETI program dates back 60 years. .In 1959, two Cornell University physicists Philip Morrison (philip morrison) and Giuseppe Marconi (giuseppi cocconi) in the "Nature" magazine published an article that interstellar communication using microwave .potential. .Thus beginning the man with the radio telescope search for extraterrestrial curtain. .However, the real practice dates back to 1960 search, the young radio astronomer Frank Derrick (frank drake) philip independent and giuseppi obtained with the same conclusion, and in the spring of the first of the year on other solar system .Search within the microwave, which began his famous Ozma plan (project ozma), played a brilliant pioneering role. .Since then, the emergence of the world have more than 60 related organizations. .Later, the greatest impact on a project called the "Phoenix Project." .It gained success in Silicon Valley, including Microsoft founder and other wealthy sponsors, which since the beginning of great size. .February 1995, Phoenix plans to begin using the Parkes New South Wales, Australia, 210 ft (64 m) radio telescope, the observations lasted 2,600 hours. .Then the program has returned to the northern hemisphere of the U.S. National Radio Astronomy Observatory. .To mid-1999, Project Phoenix has been observed that half of the stars on the list, there is still no information about extraterrestrial civilizations to be detected. .But the plan still ongoing. .The next generation of telescopes - Giant Allen Telescope Array in the device is co-seti Institute and University of California, manufacturing, the construction cost of approximately $ 26,000,000, which will be placed at a distance of about 290 miles southeast of San Francisco Hat Creek .Observatory. .Expected completion date is about 2005. .Radio telescope with the same traditional, array is the collapsible telescope Allen, but the difference is the addition of a parabolic antenna, which makes the device much more than a search range of 100 m telescope. .In addition, it has a complete regional search capability, more channels and services around the clock, so, array telescopes will allow the Phoenix Ellen works on the star search extended to the vicinity of 100,000 or even 1 million stars. .seti @ home seti @ home is a plan by the United States carried out by the University of California, Berkeley, seeks to use thousands of Internet-connected computer idle capacity "Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (seti)" the great test. .Personal computers often have free time to be idle, while the seti program is often a lack of adequate computing power and can not be completed in time to collect the signal analysis. .So such a great program was born. .By installing a small software, when the personal computer screen saver is running (idle), the world's largest radio telescope data obtained will be sent for analysis and processing. .Through this organization, the program has 300 million volunteers to participate in their designated site to download from the radio telescope to collect pieces of information, analysis of their own computer to run and find signs of life in the Universe. .The total of all computer data has reached a 15t, the equivalent of using a pc machine work 482,023 years, the equivalent of 48 years of work using supercomputers. .Therefore, this project is indeed effective. .Not only fully distributed around the world use the power of the computer and saves a lot of expenses </ p>.
