For 40 years, the SETI Institute has been a leader in the search for life and intelligence beyond Earth. Recent discoveries, such as exoplanets, have brought us closer than ever to answering the question of whether we are alone in the universe.

Today, the SETI Institute uses a specially designed instrument for its SETI efforts – the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) located in the Cascade Mountains of California. The ATA is embarking upon a two-year survey of tens of thousands of red dwarf stars, which have many characteristics that make them prime locales in the search for intelligent life.

May 22, 2023 · Today, it launches satellites for Earth observation, navigation, telecommunications and astronomy, sends probes to the far reaches of the Solar System, and cooperates in the human exploration of space. ESA develops the launchers, spacecraft, and ground facilities needed to keep Europe at the forefront of global space activities.

Today, we’ve confirmed nearly 6,000—and we’re only beginning to explore the vastness of the cosmos. At the SETI Institute , we are leading the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and advancing the science of life beyond Earth.

SETI is a generic acronym that stands for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Scientists doing SETI experiments are looking for proof – not merely of life elsewhere – but of intelligent beings in other star systems.

Feb 10, 2025 · The SETI Institute continues to push the boundaries of space exploration and the search for extraterrestrial life. This month, we highlight the ARTEMOSS experiment, led by Dr. Agata Zupanska, which studies how Antarctic moss adapts to space conditions, providing insights for future missions.

Scientists at the SETI Institute monitor an intriguing signal in 1997. While this transmission was first thought to be extraterrestrial, it was soon traced to telemetry from the SOHO solar research satellite.
