Breakthrough Listen Scans Entire Galaxies for Signals From Extremely Advanced Civilizations. In 1960, Dr. Frank Drake led the first Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) experiment at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia
Breakthrough Listen is a scientific program that searches for signs of technological life in the universe. The program scans the Milky Way’s center and galactic plane, and also listens for messages from the 100 galaxies closest to ours.
Breakthrough Listen is the most comprehensive search for alien communications to date, with $100 million in funding and thousands of hours of telescope time. The instruments used are among the world’s most powerful, and are 50 times more sensitive than existing telescopes used for the search for intelligence.
In 2020, Breakthrough Listen released data from the most comprehensive survey yet of radio emissions from the Milky Way’s plane and the region around its central black hole. The public was invited to search the data for signals from intelligent civilizations. However, no compelling candidates were found.
Yes, Breakthrough Listen is a scientific program that searches for signs of technological life in the universe. The program is part of Yuri Milner’s Breakthrough Initiatives program and began in January 2016. It is the most comprehensive search for alien communications to date, with $100 million in funding and thousands of hours of telescope time
The program’s goals are to:
- Survey one million nearby stars, the entire galactic plane, and 100 nearby galaxies
- Use radio wave observations from the Green Bank Observatory and the Parkes Observatory
- Use visible light observations from the Automated Planet Finder
The program’s targets include one million nearby stars and the centers of 100 galaxies. All data generated from the project are available to the public.
The Breakthrough Listen team has been developing and installing the most powerful digital instrumentation ever deployed in such a search for the past three years.
Breakthrough Listen is the largest ever scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of civilizations beyond Earth. The scope and power of the search are on an unprecedented scale: The program includes a survey of the 1,000,000 closest stars to Earth
Breakthrough Listen uses some of the world’s most powerful instruments to scan the galactic plane and the center of our galaxy. The instruments are 50 times more sensitive than other telescopes used for the same purpose
Breakthrough Listen uses a large reflective dish to gather radio signals and focus them on a single point. The team scans a frequency range of 700 MHz to 4 GHz, which is equivalent to tuning into over 800 million radio channels simultaneously.
Breakthrough Listen also uses sophisticated targeting and scheduling software, as well as an automated data processing pipeline. The pipeline scans through the data in near-real-time to search for interesting signals.
Breakthrough Listen uses the Green Bank Telescope, the Parkes radio telescope in Australia, and the Automated Planet Finder. The Green Bank Telescope is the world’s largest steerable radio telescope
Yes, Breakthrough Listen uses a large reflective dish to gather radio signals and focus them on a single point. The dish works similarly to a TV antenna, with a receiver converting the radio signals into signals on a coaxial cable. Computers then digitize and process the signals
Breakthrough Listen is a scientific program that searches for evidence of technological life in the universe. The project began in January 2016 and is expected to continue for 10 years. The project uses radio wave observations from the Green Bank Observatory and the Parkes Observatory, and visible light observations from the Automated Planet Finder.
Breakthrough Listen’s objectives include:
- Examining one million nearby stars
- Examining all the stars in the galactic plane
- Examining 100 nearby galaxies
- Searching for both radio and optical signals
The Breakthrough Listen search for intelligent life is, to date, the most extensive technosignature search of nearby celestial objects.
We present a radio technosignature search of the centers of 97 nearby galaxies, observed by Breakthrough Listen at the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope.
The Breakthrough Listen (BL) Initiative is a scientific program that searches for evidence of technological life in the universe. It is the largest campaign in human history to search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI
The BL Initiative aims to survey one million nearby stars, the entire galactic plane, and 100 nearby galaxies at a wide range of radio and optical bands. It is the most comprehensive and sensitive search for SETI to date
