For more than two decades, millions of volunteers turned their home computers into a planet-scale telescope, donating idle processing power to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence through SETI@home. That effort ended in 2020—but the data never stopped speaking. Now, UC Berkeley scientists have taken a fresh, rigorous look at the vast SETI@home archive and identified around 100 intriguing signals that warrant closer scrutiny. In this SETI Live, host Beth Johnson is joined by Eric Korpela

Part of the SETI Institute's monthly Lecture series, SETI Talks Extremophiles are organisms that live in extreme environments on Earth. Scientists have investigated their ability to survive to high temperatures, UV radiation, salty environments and places that are inhospitable for humans and most creatures on Earth. By studying conditions under which life can thrive, we hope to understand life elsewhere – where to look for it and what it could look like -- or simply to hypothesize if it would be

Chinese Orbital Module re-entered over California on April 2, 2024. Observers all over central and southern California, from the North Bay to San Diego, saw a spectacular satellite reentry last night, 2024 April 2, at 01:42 PDT -- a slow-moving fireball that broke into many fragments. The reentry was captured by four cameras of the SETI Institute's Meteorite Tracking and Recovery Network, led by Peter Jenniskens. Attached are images captured by the station at Mount Umunhum in the San Francisco B

In this SETI Live episode, host Simon Steel (Deputy Director of the Carl Sagan Center) chats with evolutionary biologist Philipp Schiffer (Worm Lab) about one of the most astonishing discoveries in modern biology: scientists have revived a microscopic worm that had been frozen in Siberian permafrost for roughly 46,000 years. These nematodes entered a state of cryptobiosis — a kind of biological “pause” — and came back to life when gently thawed in the lab. They didn’t just wiggle; they fed, repr
