SETI@home has received hundreds of millions of results from SETI@home users around the world. Each returned result includes information about spikes, gaussians, pulses, and triplets detected in the analysis.

How the Screensaver Works

How many signals have SETI@home users detected? Here are some current graphs: 2,656,538,092 results ( 342.57 results per user) 5,054,849,233 spikes ( 2.41 spikes per result) 475,124,353 gaussians ( 0.22 gaussians per result) 666,715,880 pulses ( 0.31 pulses per result) 611,350,066 triplets ( 0.29 triplets per result)

Although SETI@home has not yet found firm evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence, there are many radio waves that may prove to be extraterrestrial in origin once they have been carefully analyzed. See our list of best signal candidates, currently consisting of persistent Gaussians. A map detailing the location in the sky of the best Gaussians is also available.
