S. space agency, believes there’s a good chance that we’ re not alone in the universe. Last fall, NASA began a new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS). Its aim is to find evidence of life in one of the billions of galaxies in the universe. The search for intelligent life on other plas isn’t new. It began almost 100 years ago. That’s when scientists built a huge transmitter (發(fā)射機 ) to send radio waves into space. Scientists thought smart intelligent beings on other plas might pick up the signals. Scientists have also sent a message about humans and our solar system to a nearby constellation (星座 ). But because the constellation is 25,000 light years away, a return message wouldn’t reach the earth for 50,000 years! So don’t wait up for an answer. So far, no extraterrestrial (境外的 ) beings that we know of have returned our “calls”. But according to Dr Jill Tarter, an HRMS scientist, we haven’t exactly had our ears wide open. “Now, however,” says Dr Tarter, “we’ve built the tools we need to listen well.” Last October, Dr Tarter switched on the largest radio receiver in the world. It’s an enormous metal bowl stretching 1,000 feet across a valley in Puerto Rico. Meanwhile, another NASA scientist turned on a huge radio receiver in California’s Mojave Desert. NASA hopes these big dishes and others around the world will pick up radio signals from a new world. Dr Frank Drake has been searching for life in outer space for years. He explains the HRMS project this way: To listen to your radio, you move the tuner on the dial until the channels e in loud and clear. Now imagine radio receivers that scan our galaxy “l(fā)istening” to 14 million channels every second. That’s what NASA’s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are doing. But that’s not all. Powerful puters hooked to the receivers examine every signal carefully. The puters try to match the signals to ones that scientists already recognise, such as humanmade signals. If they can’t , Drake and Tarter check on them. “It could prove there is radio technology elsewhere in the universe,” says Dr Tarter. “And that would mean we’re not alone.” 32. NASA scientists started a new project in order to . A. send human beings into space B. confirm the number of galaxies C. discover life in other galaxies D. find evidence of a new galaxy 33.
