You?re doing great!” until my son would call out “Let go”. Rich would let go but still run along, just 33 . It was a happy day in the neighborhood.

Einstein@Home uses your computer?s spare time to search for space signals. The project has already had major successes; Volunteer discovered about 50 stars, using data from Puerto Rico?s Arecibo Observatory and Australia?s Parkess Observatory. Einstein@Home also searches for gravitational-wave signals using data from NSF?s Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory.
