COSMIC MESSAGE
The Arecibo radio telescope, a giant dish in Puerto Rico, has been listening for signals from intelligent life for decades. The SETI@home project allowed anyone with a computer to help analyze the massive amount of data collected. Your home computer could have been part of a global effort to search for extraterrestrial intelligence. It was a novel approach to a grand scientific challenge.
