第一篇:经过一年的努力,收到美国航天局的感谢信了
Dear 徐远骥:
Thank You
The SETI@home team would like to thank our community of volunteers and supporters for their donations during our December 2009 fund-raising drive.We depend on these donations to continue our search for evidence of extraterrestrial life using the world's most powerful radio telescope.
We appreciate your donation of computing power, and your help in spreading the word about SETI@home among your family and friends.

SETI@home Chief Scientist Dan Werthimer participated in an exciting public debate with planet-hunter and skeptic Geoff Marcy on April 30, 2010 on campus of the University of California at Berkeley.The topic: “Are We Alone?” covered the range of issues related to the search for extraterrestrial life.Watch the video transcript here.
We're Testing “Radar Blanking”
We're currently hard at work testing our system for “radar blanking,” which removes the powerful, periodic blips from aviation radar that pollute the data from the Arecibo telescope.We want to make sure we don't mistake these blips for extraterrestrial signals, without removing too much real data in the process.Click here to learn more.
Astrobiology Science Conference, April 26-29
Three members of our team attended the Astrobiology Science Conference on April 26-29 in Texas, and presented two ***s related to SETI@home.The first described SETI@home's strategy for rejecting interference and finding candidate signals.The second discussed the overall status of the search for extraterrestrial life in the electromagnetic spectrum;so far, SETI researchers have searched only one trillionth of the potential parameter space!
