Russian tycoon to invest huge money in a new search for alien life

Russian billionaire Yuri Milner is investing $100m in a project which will try to discover if there really is alien life out in space.

The ten-year initiative, called Breakthrough Listen,  will conduct the most extensive sweep of space for signals from aliens ever. The project will feature some of the brightest luminaries in science and experts on space. Hugely powerful telescopes will be used and at the end of the ten years, all the findings will be released to the public. We can't wait to see what emerges at the end of the 10-Year Plan'. H/T - Wired
