For 21 years, SETI@home volunteers donated computing power to the search for technosignatures.

That archive is still yielding insights.

In this SETI Live, Beth Johnson talks with @SETIEric (UC Berkeley) about a new analysis that highlights ~100 signals for further scrutiny—and how scientists distinguish cosmic signals from interference.

Careful science, not hype

#PPOD: Every spring and summer in the southern part of Mars, the Arsia Mons Elongated Cloud (AMEC) forms daily above the surface, as seen here by ESA's Mars Express orbiter. The cloud rapidly stretches out for hundreds of kilometers before fading away in a few hours. Strangely, Arsia Mons is the only volcano at low-latitudes to create such a cloud.
