From Martian Canals to Dyson Swarms – A Scientific Search for Alien Artifacts

First contact with alien civilizations won’t be with the beings themselves, but with their technology. By searching for these extraterrestrial artifacts, we embark on a journey through our solar system, galaxy, and beyond. What are we looking for—and how will we recognize it when we find it?

Dr. Simon Steel, Deputy Director of the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute, is an expert in astrophysics and science education. A former Harvard lecturer, he originally hails from the English town that famously resisted H.G. Wells’ Martian invasion of 1899.
