11th & 12th SETI Articles

"The Allen Telescope Array" is an article explaining what the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) is and its purpose. In 2001, 42 antennas were built and in October 2007 the ATA started its observations. The ATA is a large number of dishes set up to make SETI observations at centimeter wavelengths. It is also used for radio astronomy. These dishes can observe our galaxy and other galaxies as well as gamma rays and radio sources. 

The article "Our Mission" explains what the SETI Institute is set out to do. It was founded in 1984 and now over 150 scientists work for this non-profit organization. The SETI has three different headquarters called the Center for SETI Research, the Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe, and the Center for Education and Public Outreach. Its sole purpose is to understand the origin of life and the possibility of life on other planets.
