ALIENS GET A NEW SWITCHBOARD
NEW SETI RADIO TELESCOPE IN CALIFORNIA
An array at Hat Creek near Mt. Shasta points an ear to the cosmos.
If E.T. tries to phone on any of 10 billion channels, Earth will be ready to listen.
HAT CREEK, CALIF. -- In this remote volcanic valley near Mt. Shasta, 42 telescope dishes have sprouted amid the soaring ponderosa pines, listening for a voice from space.
Every few seconds the 20-foot-wide dishes, scattered over dozens of acres, pirouette in perfect synchronicity, like dancers practicing their pas de deux before opening night.
The Hat Creek Radio Observatory will be the biggest radio telescope in the world specifically designed to search for extraterrestrial intelligence when the full 350-dish array is completed in the next few years.
"It's nuts to think we're alone," said Forster. He works with the SETI Institute and UC Berkeley, which are jointly installing the array.
"It's just a matter of looking in the right direction, at the right time, at the right frequency, with the right algorithm," he said.
Over the last few decades, researchers for SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) have relied on borrowed telescope time to scan 1,000 stars for a signal from a technologically advanced culture.
The new array, funded by a $30-million gift from Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen, will enable researchers to search a million stars over 10 billion radio channels.
