Harvard professor and SETI pioneer Paul Horowitz is about to unveil a powerful new tool dedicated to finding a brilliant flash of laser light coming from a distant civilization. He and his graduate student Andrew Howard talk with Mat about the new telescope, the first-ever Optical SETI Dedicated Observatory.
