Are we alone in the universe? You’re not alone if you want to find out!

This Valentine's Day, fall in love with science! Join the new NASA project called “Are we alone in the universe?” and help scientists find signs of extraterrestrial intelligence! UCLA SETI is observing thousands of stars at radio wavelengths to search for signals made by extraterrestrials. They need your help to sort through the data.

No special training or education is needed to participate. After watching a brief tutorial, you’ll look at an image of a radio signal and answer a basic question about what you see. Then you’ll select the image that most closely resembles the signal. Your work will help train artificial intelligence algorithms to identify signals made by intelligent life.

“Humankind’s most profound discovery could be a few clicks away,” said doctoral student Megan Li, who works on the project.
