I was officially invited to join the search for life beyond Earth. And no, this does not mean that you should go to the state of Kansas, and lies in the field of the atom in the mother ship, waiting to scoop you. All you have to do is log on to SETIQuest.org, which began on Wednesday. Announced the launch site at the TED conference now under way in 2010 to Long Beach, California.
SETIQuest Jill Tarter is the product of a desire Award astronomer Ted. After receiving the TED Prize last year, Tarter was given the opportunity to make one wish before the hall full of the biggest names in technology and design. Tarter wished that they "enable the children of the earth everywhere to become an active participant in the search for the ultimate global company."
With SETIQuest, Tarter and Ted and make it happen. The site will make huge amounts
of SETI data available to the public for the first time. It will also publish SETI Institute in reference to the detection algorithm for open source code, and call a great amateur programmers and technicians to make it better.
"With the available cloud storage and processing resources, we can provide a digital signal processing experts and students with a lot of raw data ... and invite them to develop new algorithms that can find other types of signals that we are now missing," explains the site.
Even if you are not programmed, you can still take the opportunity to search for ET by anything more than the naked eye. "Citizen scientists" can be searched visually data for anything suspicious looks like something other than white noise. You should spot something odd, alert the world community. If enough scientists agree that the citizen is something fishy seems, the collective concern of direct SETI telescopes to zoom in on questionable patch in the sky.
