From Live Science: "Largest crowd-sourced hunt for alien intelligence reveals 12 billion 'signals of interest' in collapsed Arecibo Observatory data." SETI is the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. The SETI@Home was a program you could download for your PC that ran in the background to sort through signals recorded over decades from the Arecibo Observatory to identify potential signals from an extraterrestrial intelligence. The article reports that "[n]ow, the researchers behind the project have narrowed that daunting list down to the top 100 candidate signals, which they are studying in detail with China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) — now the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, following the death of Arecibo."
