Joining the Search [1]

This array of telescopes in southern Arizona has joined Breakthrough Listen, the most extensive search for extraterrestrial intelligence to date. The search relies primarily on radio telescopes, which listen for signals from other civilizations. The project also searches for visible light beamed into space, and this array, VERITAS, is joining that effort. The array normally searches for flashes of light triggered when gamma-rays strike particles high in Earth's atmosphere. [VERITAS]
