Search for alien intelligence
Search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Conceptual computer artwork depicting the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) project. Set up by NASA in the USA, SETI involves the use of radio telescopes scanning the sky for signals from alien civilisations. This search is depicted here by the faces on the cube. Much of SETIs work involves trying to distinguish an intelligent signal from the mass of background radio waves received from space. Although NASA support has now been cancelled, a portion of the project continues at the SETI institute through private funding

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries of the universe. The conceptual computer artwork portrays NASA's ambitious project, known as SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), which aimed to detect signals from alien civilizations using powerful radio telescopes. The image showcases a cube adorned with numerous faces, symbolizing our tireless search for intelligent life beyond Earth. Each face represents the countless hours dedicated by scientists and researchers in scanning the vast expanse of space for any potential extraterrestrial communication. SETI's primary challenge lies in differentiating meaningful signals from the overwhelming background noise generated by celestial phenomena. Despite facing setbacks such as NASA discontinuing its support, this thought-provoking artwork reminds us that human curiosity knows no bounds. A glimmer of hope remains alive through private funding at institutions like the SETI Institute, where this groundbreaking work continues unabated. Intriguingly blending elements of space exploration, astronomy, and astrophysics into a single frame, this illustration encapsulates both our fascination with otherworldly beings and our unwavering determination to uncover their existence. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece of artistry from Science Photo Library, it serves as a reminder that humanity will persistently seek answers about our place in an infinite cosmos teeming with possibilities.
