Who else is carrying out searches?
Astronomers from the University of California, Berkeley, are carrying out a search called SERENDIP IV at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. About 3% of these data are made available for processing by the popular SETI@home screen saver software. The Planetary Society, an independent, privately funded organization, operated Project BETA at Harvard University (this search was stopped in 1999 due to damage to the telescope in a wind storm) and in Argentina. Ohio State University conducted a full-time search with a large volunteer effort for 24 years; however, this search ended in 1997 when the university shut down the radio telescope they used. New optical SETI programs are being conducted at the Univ. of California Berkeley’s Leuschner Observatory and at Harvard University. Other radio searches are underway in Australia (see links to the SETI Australia Centre) and Italy.
