SETI INSTITUTE EXPLORER

First Quarter 2008

The mission of the SETI Institute is to explore, understand and
explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe.
We believe we are conducting the most profound search in human history--
to know our beginnings and our place among the stars
