SETI@home is a scientific experiment that harnesses the power of hundreds of thousands of Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. There's a small but captivating possibility that your computer will detect the faint murmur of a civilization beyond Earth.

You can make YOUR computer part of the world's largest SuperComputer and help in the search for Life Out There. ( It's a pretty cool screensaver in any case)
