50x SETI

Breakthrough Listen will employ the 100-meter Robert C. Byrd Green Bank and the 64-meter Parkes Telescope over a period of 10 years. The search will be 50x more sensitive than any SETI program before it, cover 10x the sky of previous programs, involve the 1M stars closest to Earth, and scan 5x as much radio spectrum 100x faster than before. It will also search for laser transmissions.
