The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (SETI) is a scientific organization dedicated to exploring the possibility of intelligent life beyond Earth. Set up in the 1960s, SETI employs various methods, such as analyzing radio signals and other cosmic phenomena, to detect signs of extraterrestrial civilizations. Scientists use advanced technology to listen for specific frequencies that might indicate communication from alien life forms. In addition to signal detection, SETI also promotes research in astrobiology and planetary science, which helps us understand the conditions necessary for life elsewhere in the universe.
