Remember SETI@home? The ground-breaking computing project is now taking a look at candidate Earth-like planets that have been detected by NASA's Kepler space telescope. Using the Green Bank radio telescope in West Virginia, SETI@home scientists are targeting eight stars that might harbor worlds conducive to life.
They are going to collect 24 hours of data with the steerable Green Bank instrument and, after a 'coarse analysis,' the data will be turned over to SETI@home volunteers to analyze in more detail on their home computers. They'll be looking for potential radio signals beamed across the galaxy by extraterrestrial civilizations."
