Abraham Loeb (on behalf of the Galileo Project, Harvard University)
The Galileo Project is the first systematic scientific research program in search for potential astro8 archaeological artifacts or remnants of extraterrestrial technological civilizations (ETCs) or potentially active equipment near Earth. Taking a path not taken, it conceivably may pick some low-hanging fruit, and without asserting probabilities -- make discoveries of ETC-related objects, which would have far-reaching implications for science and our worldview.
