Tonight—just like every night—the pursuit of E.T. perseveres in Hat Creek, California.
There, in the midst of the Cascade Mountains, the faint buzz of the Allen Telescope Array hums on a secluded and scrubby field where jackrabbits wander and rattlesnakes roam.
An extraterrestrial signal would land in Hat Creek by way of a radio wave traveling the speed of light . The array’s dishes are antennas; they collect the incoming waves and reflect them to receivers, like a satellite dish on a rooftop. Detection is the only goal; decoding comes later if something dramatic is discovered. Says Siemion: “We’re not looking for ‘Hello, how are you.’ We’re looking for an anomaly.”“As hard as it is to find a signal,” he says, “decoding the information in it would be much more difficult.”upgraded tech, the Allen Telescope Array will study FRB's.Antonio’s gift pays for the array’s long-needed upgrades. That includes more sensitive receivers, more staff, and a souped-up signal processing system.
