America finds extraterrestrial life on 86 planets

The Green Bank Telescope, a giant radio telescope in the West Virginia region (USA), began collecting signals of extraterrestrial life on 86 planets that might resemble our planet.

American astronomers on May 13 said that the Green Bank Telescope this week began to target each of the 86 planets and will collect data about each of those planets within 24 hours. These planets are selected from a list of 1,235 planets identified by NASA's Kepler telescope.

University of California graduate student Andrew Siemion said: ' It is not entirely possible that all these stars have planetary systems, but these are the best places to look for. alien life. '

The mission of the Green Bank Telescope is a part of the Search for Extraterrestrial Civilization (SETI) project, which was launched in the mid-1980s.

Astronomers hope the Green Bank Telescope , built to replace a collapsed telescope in a 1988 storm, will provide accurate information about potential planets that support life.

Physicist Dan Werthimer, a veteran researcher at SETI, said: ' We have selected planets with the right temperature, from 0 to 100 degrees Celsius, because they are more likely to contain live more. '

This project could be implemented in a year and supported by a team of one million home astronomers, known as users of SETI @ home volunteer calculation system and will help treat data management on personal computers.
