SETI is an acronym for the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. The search is conducted by carefully analyzing radio signals from deep space in order to determine if they show any signs of extraterrestrial intelligence. The radio telescopes that are used to collect the radio signals gather so much data that the researchers need help analyzing it all and so the SETI@home project was launched on May 17, 1999.
SETI@home is a distributed computing effort involving volunteers from around the world. By downloading the software and connecting to the project, you can help analyze radio signals and take part in the search. The Big Sky Astronomical Society joined the SETI@home project in 1999. Since then a small number of members and a few friends have joined our SETI@home Team, helping to make us a Top 100 team here in Canada. There are more than 1200 teams in Canada and we are currently ranked #56.

Please join our SETI@home Team. You don't have to be a member of the Big Sky Astronomical Society in order to join our team. If you would like to participate in the SETI@home project you will need to download, install, and run the BOINC software. You will then have to connect to the SETI@home project. Upon completing these tasks, the final step is to join our team. We look forward to having you on our team!
