They have a great website. Please check it out. SETI stands for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. It is a project which started in 1959 to search for radio signals from intelligent life in space. The SETI project uses radio telescopes from around the world to scan the sky and look for special patterns in radio waves which could have been sent by another civilization in space. Radio telescopes are used because radio waves can travel very far in space without being absorbed by the thick clouds of gas and dust which lie in many regions of space. Also, radio telescopes can be used both day and night. We have been sending out our own radio waves into space for over sixty years. All of our radio and televison signals travel into space at the speed of light and may one day be detected by another civilization in space.

Who made seti?

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence or SETI are the not for profit organization that has a goal to search, explore, understand and explain the nature, prevalence and nature of the lives of the whole universe. This organization is founded by Frank Drake and Carl Sagan.


What does SETI stand for?

SETI stands for Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Its purpose is to detect evidence of civilizations beyond Earth by analyzing signals from outer space. This involves using radio telescopes and other methods to search for potential communication from alien civilizations.


Whose work with SETI lead to the discovery of pulsars in 1967?

The discovery of pulsars in 1967 was made by Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Antony Hewish at the University of Cambridge. Initially, they dubbed the pulsating radio signals LGM-1, thinking it might be a sign of extraterrestrial intelligence, but they turned out to be rapidly rotating neutron stars emitting beams of radiation.


What are the types of mechanical work?

The types of mechanical work include static work, dynamic work, and intensive work. Static work refers to work done without motion, dynamic work involves movement, and intensive work focuses on the internal energy changes within a system.


How does input work and out put work affect the efficiency of a simple machine?

Input work is the work done on a machine, while output work is the work done by the machine. Efficiency of a simple machine is calculated as the ratio of output work to input work. The efficiency of a simple machine is high when the output work is close to the input work, indicating that the machine is converting most of the input work into useful output work.
