SETI

In astronomy, any of various attempts to search the skies for extraterrestrial signals using powerful radio telescopes or optical telescopes. Although serious SETI projects date from 1960, the name is specifically associated with a programme originally launched by NASA in 1992. NASA cancelled its project in 1993, but other privately funded SETI programmes continue.
