The Allen Telescope Array (ATA), named after Microsoft co-founder and sponsor Paul Allen, has now been brought back online, after funding issues have forced officials at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute to shut it down temporarily earlier this year.
Interestingly enough, in the time the... |

Due to lack of funding, the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) has been put into what experts at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) are calling a safe mode.
