You are visiting the SETI Institute's community platform. Welcome! This is a place for us to share with the world our excitement about the work we do. 

In fact, that is part of our mission, carried out through education, outreach programs and this scientific database, the SETI Polaris platform. We invite you to discover our science and to contact us to join in our quest.

“From astrophysics and planetary science to astrobiology and SETI research, our scientists work to unlock the secrets of life in the universe – how it happens and where we might find it,” explains Bill Diamond, the SETI Institute’s President and CEO.
