Background information on Nebula is here.

The New York Times reports that the observatory will be torn down. My heart is broken.

The observatory provided the first solid evidence for a type of object known as a neutron star. It was also used to identify the first example of a binary pulsar (two magnetised neutron stars orbiting around a common centre of mass), which earned its discoverers the Nobel Prize in Physics.

The telescope also helped to make the first definitive detection of exoplanets, planetary bodies orbiting other stars, in 1992.

It has also been used to listen for signals from intelligent life elsewhere in the cosmos and to track near-Earth asteroids.

Over the years, the main dish appeared as a location in movies, including Goldeneye, Pierce Brosnan's first outing as James Bond in 1995, and the 1997 science fiction drama Contact, starring Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey.

Eric, what are you going to do about the requirement of RAC > 1 to be able to post on the main forums?

"Maybe make it Credit > 1 ??"

We will have to replace the RAC>1 requirement with a total credit requirement. We may also have to come up with an endorsement process to allow new users.

The other thing that I was hoping to make was the 20 year club, but that is not going to happen either.

As promised, we've stopped the process that puts new data into the queue today. Data distribution will continue until the files shown on the status pages are done. We'll be accepting results and resending results that didn't validate for a while.

I understand your reasoning, but I've been participating with SETI @ Home since I got my first Mac 5200 back in 1993. (Or was it '94? I don't even remember now.) The screen saver was a comforting old friend over the years. I may be personifying SETI @ Home too much, but I'm going to really miss it. It was the first program of it's sort that I ever ran.
R.I.P. SETI @ Home.
Later 'taters.

Hello,
What should I do with work units? I have work units with deadline in June. Cancel or not?
Best regards

Michael

Right now, there are 52 tasks in my queue.

I have to ask, when SETI@Home goes away as of March 31, what will happen to those tasks?

Although no new tasks will be sent, will the ones already in peoples' queues be allowed to finish or will they just be aborted and gone?

Just wondering.

Would someone be able to clarify if they have or have not been analyzing anyone of the WUs that we've been crunching? If they haven't been analyzing any of the data why weren't they?

And, based on the notice from the folks at UC Berkeley, you'll wind up 3 days short of making that 21 years. Bummer, to say the least.

It would be nice, but no announcement yet. Anything you read on this board is speculation and wishful thinking.

We'll all find out next Wednesday.

I just looked around in this thread and noticed only 4 members had joined SETI@home earlier than I did.

I have been on and off with this project for more than 20 years with my nimble hardware. I feel sad it has to go to this stage though I know it will eventually.

Thanks for the past 21 years of letting me be a part of a noble quest for the search of "something out there."
