Good Morning.
Version 7.14.2 (64)
Windows 10
SETI@home

Question: Often times my graphical screen will say "Listen" and I can't figure out how to hear anything? Is there a way to do this?

Thank You!
Dianne

Does the word 'Breakthrough' also appear on screen, alongside the word 'Listen'?

If so, it'll be a reference to the Breakthrough Listen initiative. Breakthrough Listen supplies source data (recordings of radio signals picked up by radio telescopes) to the SETI@Home project.

In this case, it's a figurative use of the word, as in "the human race is listening to the stars, trying to find out if we are alone". Sorry, no audio component.

Too bad, because if there was, I wonder what one should do once one read the word 'breakthrough'...
