i know this hasn't got anything to do with celestia but it's still something to do with space

i found this screensaver/program on the net while looking for trek pics,

it helps look for extreterrestrial life on your pc

that means you could be the one to discover life outside sol

heres the link http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/download.html

I ran that several years ago. Too much HDD thrashing and besides, I do not keep my computer on or online all the time...

Gone it is.

Aslo remember to check the astronomy software Distant Suns, as they have a special SETI@HOME version of it (allowing you to see which part of the sky you are currently scanning).
You can download Distant Suns 4.2 for free, but I advice bying Distant Suns 5.0, as it has better graphics, has lots of new features, and is a lot faster then version 4.2.

I have been using SETI@HOME for quite some time now, have completed 14 data-units and are now finishing the 15th one.

Nice idea posting it here.

Now folks: those that dont have SETI@HOME yet should run and get it; as it dont only scan for small green men from outher space anymore: it also scans and maps Pulsars; black-holes; even extra-solar gas-giants. :D
