Since I re-installed Seti@Home, I've been looking for articles explaining in laymans terms what this software actually does with the raw data from Arecibo. Wikipedia has interesting page and I thought I would share it with everyone. Also, did you know a strange singal was detected back in 2003!

Referring to the "Wow" signal by chance? Hasn't been anything repeated and no explanation has been determined.

No this isn't the WOW. This one (according to the link) was found in March of 2003.
