Tuning In Space Noise For Sounds Of Life
Earlier this month, NASA’s Kepler Mission announced it had found 54 planets orbiting stars in so-called “habitable zones” in our galaxy, where the climate could be suitable for liquid water.
After the planets were found, NASA alerted the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) of their locations. The institute’s scientists started listening to those planets, and while they haven’t heard any intelligent life yet, there’s plenty of other noise to be heard in space.
