* SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses
Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running
a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. You can also specify when and how SETI@home uses your computer, as well as control the resource share, customize your graphics, and configure some features.
* In 1959 Drs. P. Morrison and G. Coconni published
in Nature an article indicaicating the potential of using microwave radio for extraterrestrial communication.
A year later, the first SETI search, Project Ozma, is conducted
by Dr. F. Drake at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank...1961: The first SETI Conference, in
Green Bank. Dr. Drake introduces a statistical method for estimating the number of advanced technological civilizations
in the Milky Way Galaxy... Ten years later, a NASA study team, Project Cyclops, designs an
array of up to 1000 radio telescopes to detect Earth-type radio signals up to 1000 light-years away...
* 1972/3: The Pioneer Plaques,
containing a message about our Earth, destined for points beyond our solar system, are launched on the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer
11 space probes. That Same year, Ohio State University begins a major SETI project at its Big Ear Observatory,
and four years later, the Big Ear telescope detects the famous "Wow!"
narrowband signal from the Constellation Sagittarius... http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/W/Wow.html
* In 1982, NASA begins SETI searches with
The High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS),
and the following year, Dr. P. Horowitz's suitcase SETI is tested at the
Arecibo radio telescope, Puerto Rico... In 1984, The
SETI Institute is founded... 1986: UC-Berkeley's SERENDIP II begins to scan the skies. Four years later, the
Columbus Optical SETI (COSETI) Observatory becomes the first optical
SETI research facility in North America...A year later the SETI Institute launches Project
Phoenix, a targeted search, using the 210-foot Parkes radio telescope in New South Wales, Australia, the largest
radio telescope in the southern hemisphere....
* 1997: SERENDIP IV is installed at the 305 meter
Arecibo Radio Telescope employing a configuration that permits continuous signal analysis, even when the major
instrument is in use by other astronomers... 1998: Optical SETI is becoming accepted by the SETI establishment (both The SETI Institute
and The Planetary Society now support searching for light signals)... 1999:
SETI@home, a new screen saver program that taps into the power
of home computers, has the potential of radically changing SETI program design in the future of ET searches.

RELATED INFORMATION:
* Radiation from mobiles phones in the sky (e.g. aircraft)
will swamp any radio signals from outer space, seriously hampering radio astronomy and SETI's projects... Mobile phones
also leak radiation that falls in a frequency band that states the molecular structure of newborn and dying stars. Even a
single cellphone on a plane 100 mile away could cause a serious damage because mobile phone signals from the sky
could be in a telescope’s line of sight... Planes with devices that can transmit on a frequency that doesn’t interfere
with radio signals could solve the problem.
