News -01-25-06 Earth-Like Planet Discovered (SETI.org) "So here’s the strategy. The aliens could decide to use a highly directional antenna (maybe an array) to beam a short, intense pulse to a long list of bio-worlds. They repeat this serial signaling project every 20 minutes, for example. If each pulse is one-thousandth of a second long, their list will comprise about a million targets, enough to provide a decent chance for including at least one star system sporting some nerdy creatures able to build big radio telescopes. That’s the 'hailing' signal; the one whose only purpose is to get someone’s attention. It’s the first tier of the strategy." "The second step is even simpler. If we, or any other society, find that hailing signal (and it could be easily verified, as it repeats every 20 minutes in our example), you can bet that we’d pull out all the stops to examine the patch of sky from which it came, looking for additional signals." "If any extraterrestrials are signaling with such a two-tiered scheme, we need to modify our traditional SETI observations to find them." 01-06 -02-06-06 Search for Extraterrestrial Life Delayed by Bush (MSNBC News) "NASA has delayed two programs to search for planets capable of supporting life as the space agency instead focuses on developing a new manned spacecraft to return to the moon in the next decade." 02-06 -06-18-07 Correct Star, Wrong Planet (MSNBC News) "Scientists earlier this year announced they had found a small, rocky planet located just far enough from its star to sustain liquid water on its surface, and thus possibly support life." "Turns out the scientists might have picked the right star for hosting a habitable world, but got the planet wrong. The world known as Gliese 581c is probably too hot to support liquid water or life, new computer models suggest, but conditions on its neighbor, Gliese 581d, might be just right." 06-07 Papers Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Life (SETI.org)
