Urgent Climate Wake-Up Call
It was, she thought, a fun social media post of a cruise-ship cocktail chilled with glacial ice.  But Martha Stewart’s bit of social media outreach was instead an ice-cold reality check that transcends the contents of her glass. It was both the ringing of an alarm bell about our rapidly changing environment, and an unintended rallying cry for change. Two decades ago, this spectacle would have been impossible. Martha could not have plucked ice from a receding glacier in a Greenland fjord. It wou…

Seti Institute & Unistellar Collaborate With Astro-Colibri To Observe Cataclysmic Events
When an explosion in space occurs, professional and citizen scientists must obtain data on it as soon as possible. That is why the SETI Institute and Unistellar’s Cosmic Cataclysms program is collaborating with the mobile and web application Astro-COLIBRI — to make notifications of these elusive events available to everyone as soon as they are detected.

Comet Pons-Brooks Puts On A Show
Comets have long captivated the imagination of stargazers and scientists alike. These celestial wanderers, composed of ice and dust, grace our skies with ethereal tails during their journeys through the solar system. And sometimes, they even show us earthlings some icy fireworks! One such comet, 12P/Pons-Brooks, stunned astronomers with a remarkable outburst recorded recently on July 19, catapulting it into the spotlight of astronomical curiosity.

Global Effort To Decipher ‘A Sign In Space Continues’
On May 24, 2023, SETI Institute Artist-in-Residence Daniela De Paulis launched her revolutionary piece of global theater, A Sign in Space. De Paulis collaborated with an international and interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, artists, outreach professionals and more to explore the process of decoding and interpreting an extraterrestrial message. This process required global cooperation, bridging a conversation around SETI, space research and society across multiple cultures and areas…

Record-Breaking Team Of Citizen Scientists Contribute Data On Pinwheel Galaxy Supernova
July 11, 2023, Mountain View, CA - In an unprecedented achievement, citizen scientists have set a new record for the SETI Institute and Unistellar, comprising the highest number of observers providing data on a single event. Amateur astronomers participating in the SETI Institute’s and Unistellar’s Cosmic Cataclysms program conducted a groundbreaking observation of supernova (SN) 2023ixf. The observations, which began just one hour after the supernova’s first known appearance, have generated th…

The Race To Mars
The race to Mars has intensified, with space agencies like NASA, ESA, CNSA, and private space companies planning to send humans to the Red Planet. This endeavor holds significant implications for astrobiology and planetary protection. In a commentary published today in Nature Astronomy, Cornell University's Visiting Scientist, Alberto G. Fairén, and Nathalie Cabrol, Director of the SETI Institute's Carl Sagan Center, shed light on these implications and propose a way forward.
