Android Tip: The SETI@home app (through BOINC https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.berkeley.boinc&hl=en) will work with your Android device if both your CPU and Android OS are matched in bitness, so 32bit/32bit and 64bit/64bit, but not if you're mismatched with a 64bit CPU and 32bit Android. Use tools such as AnTuTu Benchmark to verify this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antutu.ABenchMark&hl=en ...

SETI@home Uses Citizen Scientists to Search for Aliens | By Jenny McGrath, February 1, 2020 https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/setihome-citizen-scientists-extraterrestrial-intelligence/ “Over the last 20 years, we’ve gotten billions and billions of potential signals,” said Korpela. “I think at last count, it was close to 20 billion potential signals in our database.” He and the team are working on software to analyze all that information. In some upcoming papers, the team will list the most promising areas of the sky. The software injects signals that the SETI@home team believes mimics what an E.T. would send. Thus far, it hasn’t found anything that resembles this artificial extraterrestrial intelligence. If anything looks interesting, Korpela hopes others might take a look. China’s new FAST Radio Telescope is one of the world’s most powerful. “Maybe if you point a bigger telescope at it, maybe it is interesting,” Korpela said of some of the potential spots. “So that sort of thing might raise the interest of more people, I think.”
If you're running Windows 10 you can now update your Nvidia Graphic cards to Studio driver 442.19 to resolve an issue with certain types of work units in Seti@home. https://www.facebook.com/groups/317689381579505/permalink/3270948126253601/ ...

Could Invisible Aliens Really Exist Among Us? " I don't believe that we have been visited by a life form with the technology to travel across the vast distances of space. But we do have evidence for life-forming, carbon-based molecules having arrived on Earth on meteorites, so the evidence certainly doesn't rule out the same possibility for more unfamiliar life forms." | Live Science https://www.livescience.com/could-invisible-aliens-exist-here-astrobiology.html ...
