Finding life beyond Earth will be one of the most impactful moments in human history.

And it will change, EVERYTHING.

The discovery of life on another world will transform how we view our home and ourselves. The SETI Institute’s explorer-scientists are dedicated to discover and understand life in the Universe—from microbes to intelligent aliens!

But they cannot do this work without supporters like YOU – people who look beyond the confines of our planet and dare to dream big.
