Let me explain
The stations watch the night sky continuously for transient optical phenomena, rare flashes or changes in light that may be linked to cosmic events, as well as possible laser signals, and send their data to the global network for comparison between sites. The project benefits from AlUla's dark skies and low light pollution and extends the cooperation agreement between the Royal Commission and the SETI Institute announced on 8 August 2024. The next phase is analysing the collected data and developing new research partnerships (Royal Commission for AlUla via SPA, 25 October 2026).
