The Massachusetts observatory unveiled light signals transmitted to Earth by extraterrestrials by a new telescope.
It will cover 100,000 times the amount of sky covered by current equipment -according to the developers of the new telescope.
Space exploration and funding the telescope's development are the Planetary Society's work.
Harvard University's Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics' Oak Ridge Observatory built the telescope, using an 84-foot radio telescope.
A typical research-quality telescope is costlier than this new telescope - about 400,000 dollars. So it costs a little lesser than older - says Betts.
