ICYMI: Unistellar Network Detects Faint New Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS)
As the cosmos continues to surprise and delight us with its celestial wonders, a new comet is making its debut in the inner solar system: Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS). Discovered on April 5, 2024, by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) search program, this long-period comet hails from the distant Oort Cloud, and it’s bringing a whole lot of unpredictable excitement with it! Although G3 won’t fly by our planet until January of 2025, the UNISTELLAR Network is already on top of tracking this cosmic explorer.
SETI AIR Newsletter - June 2024
Exciting news: The A Sign in Space “alien” message has been decoded! But - what does the message mean? Daniela de Paulis’ project brought together international players such as ESA, the SETI Institute, Greenbank Observatory, and a worldwide community of artists, academics, and space enthusiasts for a “dress rehearsal” of receiving an actual alien message. What is so special about this project is the trans-disciplinary collaboration that developed in the effort to crack the code, and the active participation from the general public from around the world. Now, it’s the final stretch: interpreting the message. As always, everyone is invited to partici-pate. More info about A Sign in Space below. What do you think it means?
NEW PROGRAM: SETI Institute Technosignature Science and Technology Grants Program
The SETI Institute is excited to announce a new, first-of-its-kind grants program aimed at advancing technosignature science and technology. This program seeks to support innovative research that addresses key observational, theoretical, or technical questions in the field of technosignature science.
ICYMI - Decoding the Message from "A Sign in Space": A Year-Long Journey
More than a year after launching the multidisciplinary art project "A Sign in Space," conceived by SETI Artist in Residence Daniela De Paulis, a father-daughter team has successfully decoded the message. On June 7, 2024, De Paulis received the decoded message from the duo, who requested to remain anonymous and will be referred to as "John" and "Sarah." John and Sarah's decoded message was a simple image with five amino acids displayed in a universal organic molecular diagram notation, accompanied by a few single pixel points appearing between the clusters and molecular diagrams.

SETI Live Replay: More Active Volcanoes on Venus!
In 2023, scientists analyzed archival data from NASA's Magellan mission, which mapped the surface of our "twin" planet, Venus. They discovered evidence of a recent volcanic eruption on the world's surface by comparing the Magellan images over time. Now, a team of Italian scientists has found evidence for two more eruptions during Magellan's observations. Published in Nature Astronomy, this new research could help us understand why Venus took a different path in planetary evolution and provides some follow-up questions for the upcoming VERITAS mission.
