THE SETI INSTITUTE
“The SETI Institute’s work brings humanity’s relationship with our planet, our solar system and the Universe beyond into focus."
Bill Diamond, SETI President and CEO
Have you ever wondered about extra-terrestrial life? You’re not on your own if you have, the SETI Institute is a space and earth science research organisation, and part of their work is looking for forms of life within and beyond our solar system! SETI (which stands for 'search for extra-terrestrial intelligence') also support other organisations, including NASA and the National Science Foundation, in answering some of humanity’s most profound scientific questions.
In our partnership with the SETI Institute, we aim to provide you with expert insights into the fascinating world of astronomy, astrophysics, astrobiology and planetary science – and the ongoing quest to find other forms of life within and beyond our solar system.
“We’re delighted with the opportunity to have our scientists and thought leaders interact with the curious-minded adventurers who explore with Swan Hellenic"
