Breakthrough Listen, a privately funded project seeking evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence, has started operations on the MeerKAT radio telescope array in South Africa.
Over the next two years, the team will search over a million nearby stars, expanding the number of targets observed by a factor of 1000.
There are about 260,000 stars within that range. For stars further away, the search becomes more difficult, but there is still a chance of detecting signals from distant sources. MeerKAT's array of 64 dishes can see an area of sky 50 times bigger than the Green Bank telescope, making it an exceptional tool for surveying broad swaths of the nearby galactic neighborhood.
